Just like with any "or your money back" scams, the devil is in the details. Specifically the details of the promotion.
Usually there will be a lengthy contract to confuse and overload the victim, a perfectly legal and binding one, just so verbose that you look at it and mentally already signed it. Like ToS today.
Hidden within that contract is that you only get your money back if you do precisely what they say to prove the thing didn't work. For this hair growth hat I guess it would be something like "shave your head before first usage, then take daily photos with the date clearly visible on e.g. newspaper, do this for 30/60/90 days, mail us the images, let our experts verify no growth has taken place, and then you'll get your money back".
Basically enforcing a ridiculous, but perfectly legal requirement framework where they can fail you if you miss a step and claim that as per the contract you can't get your money back. Even with perfect following, their "expert opinion" verifying your claims that it didn't work (by e.g. pointing out that there was like two strands of hair that did grow).
Point is that the "or your money back" clause is essentially impossible to reach because of the requirements set in a contact that most won't read.
