HOME Grown Steam Treatment!
Hey Ladies!
Oh boy - I almost did not make it in the Steam room at the gym this morning. It certainley takes some getting used to.......
Anyhow - I wanted to share my home steam treat- I liked it and I don't have to have WOBBLY legs 
OK - So I took the advice from many LHCF Sistas... ( thanks Y'all)
But - made a couple of changes.......
here are the tools:
2 Turban towels - turbie twists ( found em at big lots )
Pink cleaning Gloves ( hee hee )
2 plastic bags or plastic Wrap.
Heating cap or Hooded Dryer (VERY Important -there needs to be a heat source......)
Bottled Water ( Let's stay as far away from the Chlorine as possible)
OK - dunk the turbies in cold water... put em in a Glass bowl and heat em in the microwave till they are hot.
use the cleaning Gloves - to Wring out one of the turbies. Put in on your head.... immediately put on cap.
Wring out the next turbie. Put it on top of the plastic.
Wrap the last turbie in plastic.
I wrapped this tight - so I could get the heat cap on.
sit for 30 mins.
When I took the heat cap off -  STEAM!!!!!!
Spray or rinse with COLD water - to seal the Cuticle!!! Also imporaant...........
It was great!
Hope that helps!

Re: HOME Grown Steam Treatment!
RESULTS!!!!
Ladies - I cannot tell you - I just cannot tell you how soft and detangled my hair was. I used my denman method of detangling - and I was going quick ( didnot want to miss Barack on the View ) and my hair was Buttery and THERE WERE ZERO TANGLES. Every product went on like a dream. I am under the pibbs - rollersetted..........Stay tuned!
