I'm not "going bald." I do have thinning hair though. I bought this device in hopes that I could thicken my hair, if only just a bit. I have not been using the device long enough to be able to confirm that my hair is thickening, but I do know that this device is easy to use, so I am using it, regularly. If I am going to get thicker hair from using the device, the fact that it is easy to use makes my success more likely.
