The system seems to be similar to a high-tech brush. It plugs in by way of a USB cable and takes about 4 hours to completely cost, then lasts for 60 minutes on a single cost (about 12 five-minute periods). The comb has only one button to show it on and off, and with the button, you additionally toggle by means of the three modes: Light, Stability, and Increase. There is not a ton of details about the completely different settings, however each elevated the general depth of the vibrations, that are felt by means of the small, rounded steel nib bristles that vibrate the scalp briefly, buzzy intervals. These bristles are quick, exhausting, and do not transfer, so watch out, as a result of they’ll get caught in tangled hair (extra on that under). After the five-minute session, the system mechanically turns off.

Ensure that your hair is (principally) clear for greatest outcomes; you should use the system on dry or damp hair. Guarantee the comb enamel are all touching your scalp, you then’ll brush entrance to again and aspect to aspect, or in round motions, to cowl all the space of your scalp. The comb has a middle gap the place you insert the serum pod, which releases by means of the comb tricks to improve the specified outcomes. The Increase serum (which got here with my check unit) goals to fight thinning and shedding; Stability restores the scalp’s pure pH with rose, raspberry seed, argan, and castor oils; and Awaken presents soothing, cooling aid for irritation with a mix of peppermint, tea tree oil, and aloe extract.
Whichever system you select, every pod prices $30 for a two-pack and lasts for about 9 periods, that means you may want to purchase them about each two to 3 weeks should you use the pods each day. You possibly can solely purchase alternative pods by means of Laduora’s web site. The system is usable with out the pods, however the remedy will now not have the serum advantages. My hair regarded noticeably shinier with fewer flyaways when utilizing the serum, nevertheless it did make my hair somewhat greasier-looking afterward (regardless of Laduora’s claims that it will not).

Whereas on, the comb system heats as much as 108 levels Fahrenheit to extend blood move and permit the pod substances to soak up deeper into the scalp, follicle, and hair shaft. Nonetheless, the impact I felt most bodily was the vibration. The vibrating enamel are akin to a quasi-scalp therapeutic massage, which helps to cut back pressure and promote blood move. I felt the tingly sensation you get when somebody performs together with your hair or calmly scratches your scalp with their fingers. The microcurrents work with the heat to advertise hair progress by boosting blood circulation and stimulating follicles. It was exhausting for me to distinguish between the microcurrents and vibrations, because the microcurrents additionally produce a low vibration that felt comparable.
