*raises hand*
UM, ME.
When I first got my steamer, my hair was actually feeling worse after DC treatments. It turned out that I was steaming for too long (2 hours
...don't look at me like that, it felt really good under there
) so I cut back to 30 min, and that improved the situation a ton.
But even with that, my hair isn't that much better when I steam. It feels moister and softer, but not $110 moister and softer. Maybe $50 moister and softer.
I still use it though because I paid for it + my new growth seems to enjoy it + it's very therapeutic. I carry tension in my scalp when I'm stressed, and the steamer followed by a scalp massage does wonders. But when it finally breaks down, I don't plan on buying another one. I may get a heat cap instead, and call it a day.
