HairMaxActonis 18 Dual Action LaserComb

No Reddit thread names the Actonis 18, so the nearest owner evidence is on older HairMax LaserCombs. In a November 2020 r/FemaleHairLoss thread (14 comments), the owner of an 11-minute HairMax comb said covering her whole scalp took about an hour a session, three days a week, and that she wished she had bought the LaserBand because the comb takes so long. A November 2022 r/tressless thread (1 comment) about a HairMax 13 Pro comb bought at a QVC discount drew one reply saying the comb routine gets tiring and that he had stopped using it. A March 2026 r/tressless post weighing a HairMax LaserComb purchase drew no owner account.

The pages naming the Actonis 18 are retailer copy and a spec-sheet write-up that states it did not test the device. Taste of Calm's HairMax LaserComb SE review (updated September 2026, on a site that earns Amazon commission on its links) comes from an owner who bought the comb for $395 in 2007 and reports it still running on the original unit. She moves it along her part in front of a mirror for about 10 minutes a session, says that with washing and styling the routine runs to an hour, and finds it compact enough to travel with regularly.

Actonis 18 videos so far are HairMax's, QVC's sales segments or a HairMax endorser's, so the pool rests on owners of the 12- and 9-laser Ultima combs. Tina Tomato's July 2020 and October 2020 videos (94,791 and 172,228 views) on an Ultima 12 that HairMax sent free in exchange for a review, with an affiliate link in the description, call the two-button start and the move-on beep easy, report charging only two or three times in three months, and say remembering when to move the comb still takes effort next to a hands-free band. Nurse Moey's September 2021 video (20,884 views) on an Ultima 12 bought on Amazon for about $300 and used three times a week for two years praises its travel size and reports no irritation. Let's Try Everything's February 2018 unboxing of an Ultima 9 bought on Amazon (9,823 views, a channel that links to buy it on Amazon) shows the cradle and direct-plug charging options and the 2 to 3 hour first charge.

The Actonis 18's own Amazon US listing (ASIN B0D7D625JM in Rose Gold, one variation file with B0D7D6PVJP, sold by Hairmax Official and shipped by Amazon at $349) holds a single 5-star rating, below the ten-review floor. The Ultima 12 LaserComb (B015PXY0LG, sold by Hairmax Official, $340) holds 4.0 from 194 ratings, 60 percent five-star against 14 percent one-star, with quality tagged 14 times, 11 positive, ease of use 7 times, 6 positive, and battery life 5 times, 4 negative, including a charge lasting two sessions, a unit that stopped charging just under a year in and one report of overheating. The Ultima 9 Classic (B07HGHL5TW, $199) holds 3.9 from 1,489 ratings, 54 percent five-star against 12 percent one-star, where ease of use is tagged 39 times, 37 positive, but battery life (10 mentions, 8 negative) and durability (10, 8 negative) cite combs that stopped holding a charge within 3 to 12 months, one that died after 14 months and buttons that stuck after two months, and value for money is tagged 52 times, 35 negative.

QVC's own listing for the Actonis 18 (item A623535, $362 against a $449 retail value, in Dark Pewter, Orange and Rose Gold, sold since August 2023) holds 3.10 from 239 reviews; its star split and how many were written on QVC are not shown on the listing, so the score rests on the average. Walmart's Actonis file credits every review to Hairmax International, LLC, and Nordstrom's is written mostly about the Actonis supplement capsules rather than the comb.
