hair steamers - who has one?

I'm steaming tomorrow. It's been a week since I last did it, I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. :lol:

First, I oil my hair with the Vatika oil. I then mix about 50% moisturizing conditioner, 30% henna, 10% Amla, and 10% indigo (make sure that you mix in the indigo right before you put it in your hair).

I then apply the mix and put my hair into three twists and pin them on top of my head. I sit under the steamer with my hair uncovered for about an hour. I have yet to have any of the mix fall out of my hair or drip.

I then rinse and follow my usual moisturizing ritual with Joico products.

I have the SalonsRUs steamer. As soon as my husband finishes converting one of our bedrooms into my salon, I will post a pic. (Loves me some DH! :grin:)

HTH.

Oh YEAH! I've got the hookup now!:grin: Thank you! Thank you!
 
I cannot wait to get one of these things...I'm sure it will work great with my staple deep conditioner (Ultra Black Hair Conditioner). Stimulating conditioner + steam = intense treatment for my hair/scalp.
 
I am sitting under mine as we speak. I am DC with AOHSR! I love this thing! It makes my conditioners much more effective. I can use less product in general and the product that I do use is supercharged!
 
I just finished steaming for about 40 minutes. I am sooooo in love.

My hair a breeze to detangle too. Grant it, I had two week old twists in my hair having been washed and conditioned. It took me about 30 minutes. It wasn't per se a shorter time to detangle, but just not so much pulling.

I'm curious to see how my puff is gonna turn out tomorrow.
 
I'm steaming again. I wet my hair in the shower this morning and put it in another puff today with no products. My hair was so soft. I know its the steamer.

Ladies, if you don't have one, get one:grin:
 
I've been tracking the shipment of my steamer. It's in Hagerstown, MD right now. I can't wait!
 
If I've said it Once, I've said it 1,000 Times -- I absolutely Love My Steamer! I know it takes up alot of room (Thank God for Walk-In Closets) but It was by far, one of the Best Investments in my Healthy Hair Journey that I've made.

It gives your Product that Extra Sumthin' and your Hair just feels wonderful while it's steaming and during the rinse and once you set/style. So, if you love Conditioning Products like I do, you want to Get the Most out of them the Steamer is the Way to Go. It does that Extra thing to your Deep Conditioning Treatments. And I love my Mastex Heat Cap too, but I end up putting it back in the Box Last night (temporarily).

I am telling you Ladies......................I just Love My Steamer.

I am in the process of taking my box braids out and then on Sat I am going to STEAM after I do my Henna Gloss. I am too excited. I have steamed before but it has only been in braids.
 
I am going to steam first thing tomorrow morning. I missed my Wednesday routine and I am having some steamin' withdrawal symptoms :spinning:.

I will be prepping my hair with Vatika oil tonight. In the morning I will apply either Kenra MC or AOHSR moisturizer. Then ....:brainfog::brainfog::brainfog:

I can't wait!
 
The steamer is in the bldg! I put it together with no help from the directions. WTH was that? Anyways it was really easy to do it from the pics. I will be steaming at some point tonight. I forgot to get distilled water from the store. Is bottled water okay?

Yayyy :yay: Be sure to post your results when you're done! :grin:

Bottle water will be fine, just this once, but you really do need the distilled water, to protect your steamer over the longer term! :)

I wish I could be a first time steamer all over again, the shock over the results is like no other feeling! :D

That's what I thought so that was actually my plan to use just this once. Will report back later.

What kind did you buy? I purchased the Mastex Heat Cap and it works Great. Like a Deep Baking Heat.

However...................Now Da' SteamA is the 'Bombdiggity.' And you and I are both Hooked. I think we are trying to see who can Out Steam each other.:lachen:

I just think it is taking the Performance of My Products to a Whole New Level. I Heart It !
 
I'm steaming right now. One thing I know already is I gotta let this thing warm up so it is ready when I'm ready. Also I am sitting at my desk using my laptop. That never happens. I'm generally on the floor or bed so at least 1 of my 2 desks are getting used. I forgot to put on my cotton coil so this stuff is dripping. That's okay I have on one of my many hair shirts. I will only have preliminary results tonight because I will leave the dc in overnight.
