I'm definitely in. I got lazy over the summer mainly because storing my steamer is a problem. I had it where it was not easily accessible. I could get to it but not without effort. And because I store it this way, my steamers usually end up breaking from being banged around. I'm on my second steamer now and the neck is cracking. I guess I need a heavy duty one. Can anyone recommend a sturdy model. I'm using the LCL Pro 150V model (or something like that).

I'm definitely going to buy another steamer because I love them. And during the winter months, I can't afford to be without one.

All that said,

1. How often you will steam? 1-2x weekly
2. What method are you using to steam? Standing steamer
3. What products will you steam with? homemade mix or something like Silk Elements Megasilk Moisture

 

[Nix08]

-I'll commit to steaming once a week (twice when I can)
-I'll be using my stand up steamer
-I usually use a protein conditioner ( AO or Millcreek) with my moisturizing tea DC blend, agave at times and my oil blend. Sometimes I'll add SAA and/or AVG.

IDareT'sHair and Rozlewis do you girl's steamers reach (steam) the back of head? I find that for 10 minutes I have to sit facing my steamer, in order for it to attempt to get the lower back and nape of hair

 

[IDareT'sHair]

cutenss Yes. What kind are you using Huetiful?

 

[NJoy]

My previous steamers came from LCL. They were different versions tho. The one you have sounds like what I'm looking for. Heavy duty. But, I gotta know about the sturdiness of the neck (is that plastic? Can it take a lickin and keep on tickin?) and the piece that holds my drip bottle on is plastic and always breaks. How's that on yours?

I've never had any problems with the steamer other than the construction. I'm rough on most things. I go thru cellphones, laptops and cars like it's nobody's business. I need a unit that can keep up and won't punk out on me. Does yours sound like it will be able to hang? TIA

@NJoy, I have a hair steamer that I purchased from Sam's club online. It is a professional steamer and it is very sturdy. It can steam at 250, 350, or 600 watts. I love, love, love it. Good luck!

Rozlewis

Now THAT neck looks very sturdy! But, I don't see that unit at Sam's online now. How much did you pay for it, btw? TIA

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@NJoy Yep Girl. Sturdy on Steroids. And I'm hard on stuff too.
