Steamers/Hair Hydration Steamers

How many of you have them, and how often do you use it?
Is it worth the money/investment? And do you see a NOTICEABLE difference in the softness, moisture, and specifically DETANGLING of your hair? thanks!

Hi !
I've just visited this forum. Happy to get acquainted with you. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this chynadoll....I'm thinking of investing in the Huetiful Steamer and want to know if anyone else has used it.....

I have the Huetiful steamer. I love it. I use it once a week. My hair is silky soft after rinsing out my DC. I have used it with at least five different DCs. I highly recommend it.

bump!

I also have a Huetiful that I use once a week for DC. I definitely think its worth the cost. My hair always feels soft and moisturized after using it. I'm transitioning and it does help with detangling.

Most salons in my area charge $25 for a steam/hydration treatment so the way I look at it the Huetiful paid for itself in 5 uses.

Thanks ladies! I may be investing in one soon

I may be investing in a Huetiful as well, it intrigues me and makes my PJism tingle! lol

I bought one today. I'll let you all know after I get a chance to try it!

maybe i can ask for one for my birthday. HEHE. i may have a problem

I tried the steamer for the first time today and I love it. My hair was very soft and easy to detangle. I wore twists for 4 1/2 weeks and a twistout for 5 days so my hair had not been detangled in all that time. I was expecting to have a hard time detangling but I believe the steamer made it easier.

When you all steam do you put a plastic cap on with whatever oils or conditioners that you choose to use at that time? Just got my steamer in and I would like to use it soon but have no clue as to what I'm doing! HELP PLEASE*

How do steamers compare to putting conditioner on your hair with a plastic cap and sitting under a dryer for 10-15 minutes?

I've had the hydration treatment for the first time and boy I tell you!!! The moisture it has locked in and the softness of my hair was unbelievable. I have yet to put any product in it to make my hair shiny and its still shining after 2 weeks. My hairstylist gave me the treatment before she pressed my hair and it allowed my pressed to stay longer. I haven't frizzed up yet and I stay in a state where HUMIDITY lives here and isn't going anywhere - even in the cooler months...I recommend it and will be asking Santa for this for Xmas! Lol!

I haven't tried the steamer but you ladies are making it hard for me not to get one. I also found another thread about steamers. steam treatments - Steamers, dryers?

@ChrsLvsBks I have been waiting for you to chime in on this topic since I first posted. Thanks a million!!!

CurlyDee I am wondering the same thing. I have an overhead dryer that I dc with. What are the benefits of steaming compared to sitting under an overhead dryer? If there are additional benefits then I might consider purchasing.

Bumping...I recently purchased a LCL Pro Beauty Steamer (formally Salons R Us) and I love it. I've been using it for deep conditioning, but I also use it when I put a leave-in on my hair. My hair came out very soft to the touch. Now, I can get almost the same softness using a plastic cap alone--almost. When I washed out the conditioner I kept washing it because I thought I left some of it in my hair, but it was that slick and soft.

Now I bought the LCL steamer because it has a rolling stand. I didnt have anywhere to prop a steamer on top of something in my house. I have children so it's convenient to roll this steamer wherever I
want in my home. Also, it has a huge oldschool dome that helps my hair get maximum exposure. I also made the big mistake of using tap water the first time and my hair felt like candle wax, (too much fluoride in the water out here). I used distilled water and it came out much better.

Final opinion: Not a waste of money, but you can steam in the shower or use a plastic cap without the dryer and get good steaming benefits, IMO. The steamer provided more softness, though.

I purchased the same steamer as fleur_nouvelle and I LOVE IT! I BC'd on September 22, 2010 so I'm still really new at this, but it really makes my hair super soft and moisturized!!! I do use tap water with no issues (I live in NC). I'm sitting under it right now with the Curls conditioner, no plastic cap. I will try using it with a leave in....what a great idea!

It is very portable, and my 13 yo daughter uses it as well. I used it while transitioning and it helped a lot!

I want one!... but law student= no money, and I'm not sure if anyone will be willing to fund this for me considering it's largely unrelated to learning the law, practicing the law or anything even remotely related to school. Soooo...DCing it is. Sigh.

thats what i do for now crys...i wet & microwave my towel turbie and put it on top of a plastic cap, put on another plastic cap, then sit under the dryer...i'll do this until i get a steamer...

I have been natural for 5 months so I am still in TWA mode so will it work as well for me
