I would try steaming in the bathroom from a hot shower with the door closed first
that should give you a good idea .......right?
oh ok gotchaNo not really imo..that is not direct steam to the hair and I am looking for simplicity. Sitting under a steamer is less hassle and right to the point.
I have one of those facial steamer things. I wonder if that'll help with your hair? You can find them at Walmart or Walgreens and return if if you don't like the results.
oh ok, I think that was the other method they had around here too LOLI have read where some people have used them. I have done the towel thing too but that gets on my nerves sometimes hahahaha...
no not really. i think i'm the only one who isn't raving about it.
it seems really nice while i'm under the steamer, but once i rinse, it's about the same as a co-wash. not worth the money i spent, time under it, or space it's taking up.
i keep using it though cause i really want it to work to penetrate the moisture, plus i shouldn't have spent that 200-somethin when i did.
eta: i tried the towel thing before, and results were the same. so i got a steamer thinking a real machine would improve things.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my steamer! It has helped to turn my hair around.
Off to steam in some conditioner now ...
oh no...how long have you been using it?
My hair was dry and difficult to detangle. Now, I mix Joico Intense Hydrator, EVOO and Biolage Cera-Repair (the Cera-Repair took my hair to a whole new level) and steam this mix in. I no longer have dry hair.What issues were you having with your hair before you start using it?

HTH
Hey, babe!!
My steamer has made ALL the difference in my hair. It allows me to detangle my hair in less than 5 minutes. I use it to steam in my protein and moisturizing conditioners. In fact, I used my steamer just last night.
My hair was extremely dry and tangled before I started, but I decided not to detangle it prior to washing it. Instead, I clarified (I had a lot of build-up), then steamed in my Aphogee Keratin 2-Minute Reconstructor, rinsed, then steamed in my Kenra MC.
Once I rinsed the Kenra out, I made sure to do a final rinse with very cool water (not cold, but cool.). When I went to detangle my hair, it was a breeze. I mean, it took me all of 5 minutes total. I always think that I'm going to have problems detangling at the end if I start off with tangled hair. But the combo of the protein treatment coupled with the moisturizing treatment and the steam makes my tangles melt away. It's important to find the right combo of products for your hair.
So yeah ... the steamer has made a world of difference for me and my hair.
Hey sis!!!
Did you tell me about this before and I just forgot
You will have to let me know what kind you have exactly..
I'm not sure if we ever had the steamer conversation or not actually.
But anyhoo, this is the one I have. I bought it off ebay some time last year I think.
TaraDan & ADB: How much did ya'll pay for your steamers?

However I do think that using the right DC products is absolutely KEY. The lady whom I get my steam treatments from using a kinda liquidy gel protein and moisture treatment (she will not give up the name..???). I think you want to look for something that will give lots of moisture and slip but with a more liquid consistency so that it can absorb the steam and do its work rather than just sitting there on your head having no effect. As such really thick DC's might not give the same result.
