The Comprehensive Guide to the Solaris Intensive LED Hair Brush

The Solaris Intensive LED Hair Brush combines advanced LED light therapy with scalp massage to support healthier, fuller-looking hair. This guide explores its usage, the science behind red and blue light therapy, and essential care tips to get the best results.

Using the Solaris LED Hair Brush

To achieve optimal results, use the brush for 20 minutes per session, 3-5 days a week. Begin by ensuring your hair and scalp are clean and dry, as serums or oils can interfere with the light’s effectiveness. Gently glide the bristles across your scalp, keeping the brush moving to target different areas. Avoid lingering in one spot to prevent overstimulation.

The upgraded version of the brush includes an optional vibration setting for enhanced scalp stimulation. If vibration feels uncomfortable, lift the brush slightly off your scalp while keeping the light close to the targeted area. This ensures effective treatment without direct contact.

Red and Blue Light Therapy: What It Does

Red and blue light therapy offer distinct benefits for hair and scalp health:

• Red Light Therapy penetrates deeply into the scalp to stimulate blood circulation and cellular energy production. This enhances follicle health, promoting thicker and denser hair growth. Red light is also known for its regenerative and anti-aging properties.

• Blue Light Therapy works on the surface of the scalp, reducing oiliness, calming irritation, and creating an environment conducive to healthy hair growth. It’s particularly effective for maintaining scalp balance and hygiene.

You can alternate or combine both lights during use, but always stay within the recommended 20-minute daily limit to avoid overstimulation.

Caring for Your LED Hair Brush

Regular maintenance is key to preserving the brush’s effectiveness. After each use, clean the bristles with a damp cloth and allow the device to air dry. For occasional sanitization, use a cloth dampened with alcohol, ensuring it dries fully before the next session. Charging the device after every 3-5 uses keeps it ready for consistent performance; allow several hours for a complete charge.

Can You Use the Brush With Hair Products?

The brush is designed for use on a clean, product-free scalp. Avoid applying serums or oils before using the brush, as these may block the light’s penetration. Reserve such products for pre or post shower treatments instead.

Special Considerations

While the Solaris LED Hair Brush is versatile, there are some precautions to keep in mind:

• With Hair Extensions: The brush is safe to use but proceed carefully to avoid tangling or damaging adhesive bonds.

• For Health Conditions: Avoid using the brush on irritated or infected scalps. Consult a healthcare provider if you have conditions such as photosensitivity, epilepsy, or migraines. For migraine-prone individuals, it’s recommended to avoid the vibration setting.

• During Breastfeeding: Generally safe, but consult your doctor before starting treatment.

• Safety: If the brush heats up during use, makes sounds that do not sound right like high pitched screeching, or feels off - stop using immediately. If you feel uncomfortable, stop using immediately. The experience is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable, and if you do not feel comfortable we advise you stop using the product and contact us at hi@solarislabny.com to inquire. 

The Role of Nutrition in Hair Growth

Hair health is influenced by both external treatments and internal factors like nutrition. Deficiencies in key nutrients can hinder progress. Consider the following:

• Vitamin D: Crucial for follicle health and growth regulation.

• Zinc: Reduces shedding and supports hair structure.

• Iron: Ensures oxygen delivery to hair follicles for proper growth.

• Biotin: Promotes keratin production, strengthening hair.

• Protein: As hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein-rich diet is essential.

Addressing these deficiencies through diet or supplementation can enhance the benefits of the LED Hair Brush. Always consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Consistency is key when using the Solaris Intensive LED Hair Brush. Most users begin noticing improvements in hair texture and reduced shedding within the first month of regular use. However, significant visible changes, such as increased hair density or new growth, typically take about three months. Hair growth cycles are naturally slow, and consistent use, combined with proper nutrition, maximizes the brush's benefits over time. For best results, commit to the recommended routine of 20 minutes per session, 3-5 days a week.
