Lab Rat: HairMax Laser Comb Week 4—Scalp Looks the Same
Okay, so it's been four full weeks since I started using the HairMax laser comb to, uh, buff up my hair. Since the last video, I haven't noticed any difference, but next week is the big week. Week 5-6 is when the manual says I will notice a difference. I'll let you guys be the judge of that when we post our video next Friday. Meanwhile, Dan Costa over at Gear Log has put his noggin' on the line too. He's on week 2 of his HairMax adventure. Good luck, bro! If we both fail, we'll duct-tape both combs and create an uber-laser comb. More »

Lab Rat: HairMax Laser Comb Week 2—Still No Hair
So it's been two week since I started using the HairMax laser comb toregrowrejuvenate my once luscious locks of hair and so far, well, as you can see—nothing. The company recommends using it 3x a week for 10-15 minutes. I've been using it 4x a week (I'm in a rush) usually at the end of my day for about 12 minutes. My arm has gotten stronger from combing my hair for that long, otherwise no side effects, no changes, nothing. More »

Lab Rat: Heads On with the Laser Comb
Here at Giz we test a lot of gadgets, but it's not often we get to test them out on ourselves. Enter the HairMax laser comb. Thanks to mydad'smom's genes and my soon-to-be-bald noggin', I'm the perfect guy to test it. So, what was it like? Well, it didn't burn, smoke, or sear my scalp (it's FDA-approved afterall). To be honest, I didn't feel a thing (not that you're supposed to). Though this I will say: My arm got tired very fast after holding it up for 15 minutes. We'll keep you updated on any, uh, growths. Otherwise, Gillette razor it is. More »

Hands On with the HairMax Laser Comb
They say balding guys will do anything to keep the hair on their head from falling, but does anything include throwing $400 down on a laser comb? Albeit, an FDA-approved laser comb? Cause that's the starting price for the HairMax Laser Comb, which claims to stimulate and maintain your mane before it withers down to a few strands. We hit up the HairMax launch party last night and not only did we snag a comb, but we also got some impressions of it for you guys... More »

HairMax Laser Comb Gets FDA Approval
Wow. And I always thought the FDA were pretty stubborn regarding shooting lasers into your brain-area. If you remember, almost two years ago we first told you about the HairMax laser comb. This $700 comb was able to improve hair quality and thickness by shooting freaking laser beams into your head. Back then it was just a concept and a pretty farfetched one at that, but the FDA actually approved the HairMax Laser Comb. Apparently, after tri-weekly usage people reported 19-time thicker hair per square centimeter. Luckily I have a head full of thick, luxurious hair, but I've heard stories of my balding friends willing to try anything. More »
