hair steamers - who has one?

Hi sunshinebeautiful

Yes, I'd just got a perm and was enquiring about coming in for a steam. She told me not to have one for 2 weeks, even though she would have made more money telling me to come in sooner. I took it to mean the hair was so weak after a chemical it couldn't stand a heat treatment. It's funny what you remember and take as gospel! I realise now they don't know it all.

OK, so I am ready to purchase one. Anyone know where I can get a table top one? I have no more room in my closet for anymore caster roller hair hardware!:lachen:

Did anyone purchase the tabletop one from hair-only.com?

I sent them a letter and got a reply from the company website (see below), but the lack of proper English grammer is throwin' a sista...

Hmmm.... that's interesting. I definitely haven't heard of it before. Wonder if it's a good recommendation? :scratchch

I wonder too - Maybe this is due to stripping of the cuticle....

I would think that a steam with some protien could help. Who knows.....
I can't say I trust a stylist as far as I could throw one....

I agree, sometimes I think some stylists just make up stuff as they go along... My hair stylist has kept my hair in great shape & she always steams my hair. When I get a touch-up, she always sits me under the steamer for 15mins with Vitale Triple Blend Reconstructor & my hair always feels healthy & strong afterwards. That's one of the reasons I bought a steamer for at home.

Exactly how does one use a clothes steamer? I have a Rowenta sitting around collecting dust and would love to use it for something.

Has anyone posted clear instructions using the clothes steamer? Thanks!!!

Here ya go:

I clarified my hair and then steamed it for about 15 minutes. Then I moisturized my hair with aPhogee Balance Moisturizer and Fantasia IC gel, left it in and steamed it for about another 20 minutes. It came out really soft. I have a salon shampoo chair so I was able to lean back in it but I'm sure any chair would do. The Shark is adjustable and I made sure that it was about a foot from my hair so it wouldn't burn me. I slathered so much stuff in it just fooling around planning to wash it out but didn't need too:blush:.
I thought it would be too gunky with all of that product but I guess the steam made it absorb into my hair or something. It shrank less too. Besides, I got a great steam facial along with it:yep:. You can't beat that for 59 bucks!!!

I forgot to add that after I added the aPhogee and IC gel to my hair I had to do some stuff around the house so I put on a plastic cap and got back to the steamer about twenty minutes later:drunk:

The steamer was behind me and I could lean back because of the shampoo chair. You can just move it in front to do the front of your hair. The Shark is one of the ones with the telescopic poles you can move up and down with the hook to hang your clothes on not one of the compact ones that you have to set on the table.

Thanks a bunch!!!!
 
my regular dominicans steam my hair all the time when I do go to them and it was only on for 10 min and my hair would be pouring water down my face. I want one of those steamers so bad but my hubby would just diie if I buy another hair product . I would pefer a portable on because then he would not be able to tell the difference between the dryer and the steamer :grin:.. I swear if I show him everything that I got from reading the boards ... hmmm I think he knows because he always have his comments . oh well . I still want one .
 
Wouldn't a heating cap produce the same effect? It won't be blowing dry air like the hooded dryer and because you'll be wearing a plastic cap under the heating cap, moisture will be trapped in. Also wouldn't steam be produced from the heat combined with the enclosed environment? There's nowhere for the heat to escape so it'll just produce the steam. I could see why a hair dresser would have a hair steamer though because it fits the environment and it looks more professional.

I've been doing just this. It seems to work great!
 
It works great (the heat cap) for me too. I soak my stocking cap in steaming hot water, wring out, put a plastic cap over that and go under my heat cap for 30 minutes on high.
 
Yeah, I want to order that table top one from hair-only but that whole english as a third language situation has me worried. Thats just asking for some possible miscommunication. lol im waiting for one of you young ladies to place yalls order.
 
I know. the hair-only people...even their website has typos...
BUT they are putting their online shopping up soon and I would much rather do that so, I'm patiently waiting for when I can place my order!!!!!!
 
Got it...used it...LOVED IT! :grin:

I really need to start babying my hair again (soooo dry and crunchy! :perplexed) so for me, this was a good investment.
 
I found a table top steamer from http://www.bctcl.com/mini-hair-color-processor-steamer-conditioning-dryer-74-p.asp.
(I hope that came out right.) It is the one that some members bought a few years ago. The site is based in the UK. I emailed them, they replied quickly and said it takes 7-10 days to reach the US and that the US is their main market. The price is listed in US currency as $78.71, but when you add it to the cart the price changes to $66.99 + $39.36 delivery for a total of $106.34. I haven't ordered it--yet--but am heavily considering it. I want a steamer but it has to be a tabletop model (easier to hide from DH:sekret:).
 
Just wanted to mention that Tyte Curlz was able to get a deal on a standing steamer for 135 dollars. A few ladies have already poseted how great this steamer is on this thread. If your interested Tyte curlz does have a thread posted with all the info.

Hmm. That's even cheaper than the hair-only table top one. I wonder if there's an American vendor so you don't have to pay so much in delivery.




Monday I went against the steam room rules. I found some Brocato moisture treatment in my gym locker and put it on my hair before going in the steam room. After my steam I rinsed with cool water. 2 days later my hair is soft and moisturized. I haven't used Brocato is months, but I don't remember this kinda softness!

I have been checking out the hair-only.com. And I decided to give them a call since they are located in NY, which is where I am also located.

I spoke to one of their sales rep, his name is Joe. He told me they accept most major credit cards and money order. And the steamer will be shipped via UPS anywhere in the USA.

I want this steamer so bad :burning:. He also told me that it can be easliy stored away. Which is great for me because I have no room to put any more hair equipment.

I want to put in my order on Friday, so I will post my update as soon as I receive it.
