Hi Hanibal and welcome,

I had not heard of the bx3.4 helmet. A search on the internet led me to a press release that mentioned it. If you plan on using it more, please keep us posted. Tell us about your experiences with it.

Best Regards,

I have recently received info' about the BX3.4 + am thinking about whether to buy one, I have had no hair for 6-7 years and despair of getting it back again but at the same time I'm not prepared to be ripped off as this device costs 750. I have a trichologist appointment tonight and wiil see what she has to say before I make a decision, she does have some clients who are using the device so I will let you know if there is anything positive to report.
Is there anyone out there who has had their hair grow back after so long ?
Lesley :(
i lost all of my hair 6 years ago, I believe that it was triggered by the use of venlafaxine (Efexor)antidepressant that I was on for a year, has anyone else had this experience and how long have you had no hair ?

hi

I started losing my hair 9 months ago due to a viral infection. I am 22 and this is upsetting me greatly. I've just started using the helmet but who knows what wil happen. I will have to give up if this doesn't work. Let me know if you buy one and i'll keep you posted on my progress.

Lesley,
I don't think that if you don't have any hair at all,that the helmet will work. It is meant to restore thinning hair. I've been considering getting the helmet. It says on the website that if you have a shiny patch with no hairs that it won't work because the cells are already dead. Sorry to be the one to tell you that, but would not like to see you waste 750.

My story:
I've been going bald since 1998 thats what....6 years. Well i tried regaine....waste of dosh, I tried the laser comb from Versachhi ireland.....lucky i got a refund with a 45 loss......i must say when the laser comb arrived........it looked like something that had been put together in someone's backyard the instructions seemed to be printed on a home computer the leather case was the pits. When i saw it ...i immediately went to see my GP to give me a letter that i was going bald and stuff. They guaranteed hair growth in 3 months (my ass) well as expected it did not work....when i called and asked for a refund (about 450 at the time) they were all unfriendly and arsy and said i could only get a refund if i had doctors letter from date of purchase and after 3 months saying there was no improvemnt (not stated on the website under the refund clause)....well lucky i had the letter i got about 400 back. The bx3.4 is a completely differnt story......i 1st read an article in the daily express few years back....then i saw it on tv ...on the richard and judy show.....thats actually what made me buy it.......well so far the packaging was without fault i must say. Well as i said earlier my g/f says there seems to be an improvement after 1 month....saying that i have always shaved my head completely......now i am letting it grow....so maybe thats what she's seeing.....but sometimes just sometimes i do think i see an improvement.......Is it wishful thinking? Me trying to justify my spending 750? Does it really work?....... Time will tell

Have decided not to waste my money, house is presently up for sale + hoping to move to live in Spain, the stress free ('ish ) lifestyle plus healthy diet + sunshine can only improve my health even if it doesnt encourage my hair to grow, BX3.4 may even be cheaper there ???
Hoping to have a property with a few rooms to let hol rental so watch this space ....might have specialist hols....maybe an alopecia week so you can relax with no-one staring or commenting.
For those women out there with little/no hair the Christie hospital will sell you a video for around a tenner with interesting ideas for tying headscarves in a dressy or informal way.....I found this to be great when abroad + too hot in my wig....only wore it at night + no-one noticed my lack of hair, e-mail sue.royle@christie-tr.nwest.nhs.uk or alexis.dinsmor@christie-tr.nwest.nhs.uk....they are VERY nice and friendly + will help even tho' they are essentially a cancer service.

Hi Morph..
Yes dude i'm taking pics happy to show u. Rate of growth at different spots variable but definetely growing and was looking ridiculous.

So got my clippers and cut everything off to a few mm and guess what...it looks so much better.....there has definetely been substantial growth. I had to shave with razor b4 but now low cut looks good and bald patch is gone!!!
Problem with letting hair grow is variable growth rate and variable length.
But i am really happy...this is the end of week 6.

The goodthing about this helmet is that there are 3 different programmes so 3 different people can use it...i've thought of getting people near me and charge them for use so i can get some of my cash back. 750 is a lot..but i am amazed. Happy to share pics. But i think it best results occur b4 head gets all shiny..i really wish i had the opportunity 3-4 years earlier

Hey its fantastic this is doing some good for you!

Do u reckon I would benefit from the BX3.4?

Hi Dio,
Getting bald usually starts with thinning so u may be heading there dude...i really beleive the helmet will help. You will be amazed..i still cant beleive it worked...i was already thinking how to go about getting refund (was always at back of my mind). I actually beleive you will see results after 4weeks.

But like i said earlier if cash is a problem and you know someone that lives near you with same problem everyone can chip in...up to 3 users can use this helmet.

Hi Hanibal,
I was just wondering .....if after 7 months the helmet hasnt worked it may not do so......how long have you been bald for?

Because while i have got amazing results i still have a high forehead so i have to accept some areas will not grow (The areas that have been bald the longest).

Diobaggio

Post by Diobaggio » Fri May 07, 2004 11:43 am

With regards getting your money back if it doesnt work....you can only do that IF you seen a trichologist before buying it.They would have had to send photos and a report to the BX3.4 offices in Liverpool.
Then after 6 months,if u feel "%&$!!this hasnt worked" you return to the trichologist and they compile another report and send it to the Liverpool offices.Only then will u get the 750 back.
Oh...the trichologist must be registered with the British institute of trichologists.
Sounds like you dont need to claim a refund B51!!Sounds like u r striking gold with it. :D
One thing about the trichologists...most of them are pouring cold water on the reports of this helmet.I get the impression they feel threatened by it.After all...if it works...wont they get less people going to them???Just a thought!
B51...keep us updated...you give us hope!! :)

Hi people,

I'm 22 years old and have been losing my hair slowly since 16. Recently it was getting real bad so i thought i'd give the bx3.4 a try. I've only used it 3 times so cant tell yet but will keep you all posted if i have any success.

B51 - i'm real pleased for you about your results and just hope that i have some success too! hopefully it shud work as my head is not yet shiney :)

Well I will be routing for you hoping it works!!
The thing which makes me pretty confident in it is the fact that the people who have designed and tested it are respected and highly qualified.
The kind of people who wouldnt want to risk their reputations for some piece of junk helmet.

Keep us posted Ollie

Post by B51 » Sat May 15, 2004 8:46 pm

Hi guys,
End of week 7....... i know the 2nd month will be up next week but i really think i may have reached my maximum result i.e. the best its gonna get(but will continue to update)

I wont let my hair grow long as some areas are thin (on top towards the forehead) but cutting my hair low (a few mm: which i've always done back in the good ole days) looks much better (as i mentioned b4) so i dont have to shave. I could send you pics.......

Morph give me the word on how/where to send pics and you'll get them.

Unfortunately i do not have pics of crown when i started....but i can definetely tell you ..it was completely bald......but looks so much better.

Those with helmets good luck!!!

hey B51.....good to hear u r happy with the results.
One thing puzzles me though....u seem to think u wont get any better now.Why?? Isnt it after 6 months that the thing has supposedly had its full effect??If you have only been on it 2 months then there should be scope for more improvement surely

Hey Dio,
I dont know its just a feeling dude........i suspect the hair growth i experienced in the first 6 weeks were the most thats going to happen i havent experienced any new growth recently and hair doesnt seem to be getting any thicker (one of the reasons i keep it low)........but i will continue to watch out maybe i am being pessimistic. ...but mind i still think the helmet is phenomenal.....If i had it 5-6 years earlier i do not doubt the results would be better.
On the bx3.4 website ,i beleive there is a mention of a 20-80% improvement not 100%.

well, I'm not sure what to expect. but my hair loss isn't that bad. I'm 23 I've receded slightly and the top is getting thinner but not overly noticable, unless ur looking for it.

By the sounds of it i may be catching it just in time?

I think i will definately be giving it a go. The thought of baldness really does scare me! I know why it is as well, because my dad went bald (he shaved his head due to it) and he was always ridiculed, which obviously wasn't very healthy for a kid growing up to see his father as the butt of everyones jokes.

Sorry rambled off there.

Will let ya know how i get on.

Sceptic's thoughts...

Post by Sceptic Lady » Wed May 26, 2004 9:28 am

I very nearly bought one of these helmets a couple of months ago I even had an appointment booked with a trichologist but then I decided to listen to my intuition, which was telling me that this is nothing but a big scam. A big, NASTY scam at that, because it is aimed at a vulnerable audience.

Id seen the helmet featured on This Morning and was drawn in. Sounded like the miracle cure Ive been searching for. It also sounded a bit too good to be true but I initially thought it was worth taking a chaopeful solutions, sso why not try one more?; (b) I didnt think that a reputable show like This Morning would promote anything they hadnt properly investigated and tested; (c) the distributors were offering a money back guarantee. I didnt think I had anything to lose and I didnt want to dismiss something that might just be the thing that worked for me.

Well, I researched and researched on the internet, reading every item I could find. Still it looked promising, but only in that there wasn't enough negative information to put me off! Then I spoke with the UK distributors and bombarded them with a barrage of questions not addressed on either the manufacturers, nor the distributors web sites. Rather than allay any doubts or concerns, it actually fuelled them.

The distributors claim that they have sold thousands of helmets in the UK alone (so I guess theyve made a lot of money!). so I find it very hard to understand why there isnt a ton of reviews (positive or negative) available either on the internet, or in the media in general. Could it be that they just dont exist? I would think that anyone who had had real success in regaining hair would be shouting about their discovery from the rooftops! I know I would!! So, isnt it strange that theres nothing out there? Not a peep from all the thousands of people that have spent hundreds of pounds on the new miracle gadget? Strange but telling!

I particularly quizzed the distributor about the money back guarantee. Consider this you'll need a consultation with a qualified trichologist prior to start of BX3 treatment. Then there'll be the cost of the trichologist's report and photographs of your scalp, which have to be submitted to the distributor. Then, after six months of using the helmet, if you're not happy with the results and want to claim your money back, you'll need a second consultation/report/set of photos from the trichologist. You could end up paying out 300+ on top of the cost of the BX3. Even after all that, the qualifying criteria for getting a refund are very vague - at least they are here in the UK. I asked the distributor if they could be more specific as to what is regarded as successful hair growth, but they couldnt (wouldnt?) give me a satisfactory answer. I strongly suspect that if you show even signs of minimum baby-hair growth (which is cosmetically useless), then BX3 would use that to negate any claim for a refund.

With regard to those people whove started using the helmet recently and think they can see an improvement I wonder how much of this improvement is real, versus wishful thinking? Even if friends/family are saying they can see an improvement are they just trying to give you hope that its working, or are they REALLY seeing hair growth? It doesnt help matters if youve always kept your hair really short and have now let it grow (albeit a tiny bit) longer. It gives a false illusion of hair thickening/new growth.

Oh and as for the web site one of the things that rang alarm bells in my head was the dodgy certificates that are posted on it. Apart from not actually being of much value (in my opinion), they are of such incredibly poor quality (like photocopies of photocopies of photocopies) that they are somewhat illegible! Im sorry but what reputable company would want to sully their otherwise slick-looking web site with such crap??!!

Much as I'd love for the BX3 to be a real cure, I'm just not convinced it's anything more than a horrible scam. If this thing does prove to work, then I'm sure the hair loss clinics and dermatologists will catch on, and add it to their repertoire. I dont believe that they would be dismissing it because it interferes with their business. Surely if something works, then it works. By offering it as a service, they would surely extend their client list?

At the end of the day, you can make up your own mind though..

Post by B51 » Wed May 26, 2004 11:32 pm

Skeptic lady just like sam i agree with you..if i had read your email b4 i bought the helmet i wouldnt have bought it.
But beleive me there has definetely been an improvement on my part. Saying that with hair loss i dont think everything works for everybody.

The 'This Morning' show gave me the final push to get the helmet. B4 that did anyone watch a channel 4 documentary 'Bald'? Documenting the lives of 4 bald/balding guys? Some wore wigs others were happy being bald There was a young guy who was undergoing laser therapy and his hair was growing.....That was was actually made me beleive there could be hope. The BX 3.4 people do not guarantee..some b4 and after pictures were impressive some were well..not impressive. They say 20-80% improvement....I guess the 'baby hair' would be in the 20% zone.
This is week 7.. actually again when i had hair i i kept it low...when i got bald i shaved it...even shaved u could still see i was bald....for me the helmet has worked...once again B51 says it has worked ......Again saying that i doubt it will work for everyone..the only critiscim i have of the BX3.4 helmet sellers is that they should assess the people they sell the helmet to and make some sort of judgement if they think hair growth is feasible. I respect your views sceptical lady.....but one mans meat is another mans poison....i rest my case

Unfortunately the BX3.4 does nothing for him despite the fact he still has a fair amount of hair.Going by what the manufacturers say....you would have thought that it would work for someone like that.

Very very interesting documentation. I can see where that dude is coming from ....... considering the side effects he experienced he had to stop Propecia and minox 5%.....very very effective for him considering how he looked (Pity about the side effects). The 'horrible effects' for him are actually the good effects for me.......bcoz he had lost hair and was not achieving the level of the propecia/minox treatment....i understand his dissappointment. Coming form where i started- shiny bald, extra high forehead i am now on the level to which he had regressed therefore my excitement. Once i complete the treatment ......like i said i suspect i may have reached my max. i may actually try the minox/propecia mix...if i do lose my libido.....that will not do though. Maybe i'll try viagra with that :roll: hm.
I wonder if the laser comb he used was the same as the one i bought once...from versacchi ireland the hair max laser comb...hm. If it was i am surprised he did not slag that piece of machinery even more. The red light that comb produced reminded me of barcode readers in supermarkets..strange.
Well guys i'll continue to see what this helmet does....i am coming to the end of week 9 (beginning of 3rd month)..in my last posting i said week 7 (that was an error on my part). I really want to let my hair grow as long as possible ....but lik ei said it does look a bit silly and i've got weddings and stuff to go to.....so i'll keep it on the low and see what happenz.

Post by Dio » Tue Jun 01, 2004 2:03 pm

I agree with the sceptical lady in one respect.
If this helmet was so great, previously baldy men WOULD be shouting from the roof tops...they wouldnt just be keeping it quiet.A BIG, BIG fuss would be made about it.And lets not forget...this helmet has been out for quite a while.
Where are all these people who's insecurities about hair are no longer there thanks to the helmet??? I wish they would show themselves. To hear success stories from 1 or 2 people isn't quite enough to convince me.
And yeah..the guarantee sucks! Having to visit a trichologist is a joke

PS:I would love to be proved totally and utterly wrong. Here's hoping

I just started using the helmet the other day. The oils smell pretty strong. I just hope I am putting the helmet on my head corrctly. It says that the helmet should just touch part of the head without downward pressure. My hair is receding mainly so I hope it works on those areas and not just the part the helmet is touching. Does anyone know?

Hey Guys,

OK I've been using the helmet every other day for about a month and a half now. Although i wasnt really expecting much at this stage I can see a definate improvement. I'm not the only one who says this. My whole family has too. Even my sister who used to tease me loads about my hairloss says it has worked.

I had taken some pictures of my head prior to treatment and got them developed recently. The hairs were so thin before treatment that they didnt even show up on camera! I looked totally bald. I will take another pic at the three month stage and post both pictures for you all to see.

There has been an overall thickening of the hair and where it had receeded at the front, it has started to move forward again! Hair on the crown is starting to thicken up to the level of the rest of my hair too.

As for the system itself. The oils really bothered me at first. I didnt like the smell at all, but have grown used to it now and its no bother at all if you shower straight after. I did stop treatment for one week cuz i was staying with my girlfriend and she doesnt know that i use it! However i tried to make up for it by using it more frequently in the following week. I dont think this will have had any negative impact on my hair though.

Good luck everyone

Dio

Post by Dio » Thu Jun 24, 2004 3:45 pm

Every time I hear one of you guys say something positive about the helmet it moves me so close to buying it!
I am just so damn scared to spend 750 pounds on something which could end up being an ornament!I trust that these posts are genuine 99%, but 1% of me says "what if these guys are BX3.4 salespeople?".I hope I dont offend anyone in saying that but the internet is quite vague.It's not like real life where u interact with people face to face and can base your opinions on more than words only.

Dio - You're as cynical as I am! :-D I, too, have wondered how genuine anyone claiming success is. It'd be oh so easy for someone at BX3 or their distributors to put in a few positive plugs for their product. Even if someone gets as far as posting before/after pics, with the fantastic software that's available to touch up photographs, I still would find it hard to believe. I think it would take a LOT of success stories start flooding in, before I start believing in the helmet.

No don't get me wrong sceptic lady...i'm not saying that Ollie and B51 are con men...far from it. I am just saying that because of the nature of the net you can never be 100% certain.I'm sure that they'll understand where I'm coming from.

I also happen to be someone who has already had my fingers burnt by 'snake oils'.I have been using that Procerin(saw palmetto based product) stuff for over 4 months now and it has done nothing....well and truly conned!!I feel like a fool for wasting my hard earned money on some dodgy product and don't want to go down that route again.I want to be sure before I spend my money on any other hair loss product again.

Regards

Hey Dio,

No probs about being suspect. I know you're not accusing me of working for bx3.4 but i totally see where you're coming from. I felt like a salesman in my last post. :)

I tried regaine for a few years and found it to be utter crap. It grew me some 1mm fluff and did nothing to stop the loss of what i already had. However it worked really well for my dad so i guess you never can tell. The same goes for the helmet - it wont work for everyone. All i can say is that the helmet seems to be working for me and I havent even used it for 2 months yet.

There's no doubt that it's definately a gamble.

I'm not accusing anyone... just sceptical.

If anyone is on the verge of buying a helmet, there's one going cheap on Ebay (UK) at the moment (item: 5503354831), but that auction ends tonight so you'll need to act quickly. Current price is 400, so you could save a few hundred pounds.

Although part of me is batting at the fact that I'm, in effect, promoting the BX3 by pointing you towards Ebay, the way I can justify it in my own mind is that at least I could be helping someone save some money, and not line the manufacturer's pockets even further.

Truth is, if I could find a second hand helmet for sale at under 100, I'd probably give it a go myself, which I realise is daft, as it's not the price of the thing that makes me think it's a scam. Just goes to show how desperate we all are in searching for that miracle cure. If the BX3 marketing people were any good at their jobs, they'd realise that by halving the price of their product, they'd probably quadruple their sales and make far more money, so I should thank them for not being that smart and sparing us the expense and disappointment.

OK... I'm obviously confused. It's too early on a Sunday morning to think straight and I need a caffeine fix!

it's all very frustrating sceptic lady...no doubt about it.i think i WILL probably give it a go sooner or later and put it down as last chance saloon.If I was to use it and it did nothing i'd just accept my balding fate and never,ever try anything again.
As for the price,I'd imagine it will come down in due course.I can't see it staying at 750 quid forever.

I just thought I would update you all on the interview that I talked about earlier. I have been in communications with a representative of the company that sells the helmet, and they had agreed to an interview with me. After several weeks, they decided that they thought it might be better if I talked with either the inventor, or the European branch of the company. I haven't heard back yet, but I am going to contact them to pick up where we left off. I'd like to ask them some important questions about their product. Will keep you posted.

Hi Admin -

It's all very well referring you to the inventor or European branch, as it will certainly be interesting to hear what either (or both) of those have to say about the product.... though it smacks of "passing the buck" to me!

Also, I suspect that neither of them are in a position to answer questions about the UK distributor's "money back guarantee", so maybe you could still press the latter for an interview, as I for one, would be really interested to see what they have to say about that issue in particular. I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
