I steam twice a week but recently I've been doing it three times, just because my hair is in need!
Can't really do it right now, but once I'm able to I think I'm going to sell my steamer and upgrade it to get a Micro Mist Steamer - it sounds fabulous!

Has your hair been damaged by sun, hair colouring, straightening or perming? As you probably already know most hair treatments don't solve this problem. Micro Mist hair is a treatment that uses the power of water to penetrate deep into the hair. It swells the hair and enhances any treatments that you have had.
The micro mist system comes to us from Japan and had been over a decade in the making. The treatment is locked into the hair. Convenient steamers boil water at 100 degrees to create steam. However the height of this temperature often causes more damage to the hair than it repairs. The micro mist system is different as it doesn't steam water; it uses ultra sound to generate mist and warms it in accordance to your hair type; keeping the temperature far below 100 degrees.
The micro mist treatment has six main functions:
• Hot wind - for warming up
• Hot fog - for helping hair absorb nutriments via utilizing the energy generated through cavitations effect.
• Cold fog - for helping the hair cortex absorb nutriments by adapting the quantum technique
• Ozone - for sterilizing and disinfecting
• Aromatic remedy - purifying the hair with water
A treatment using the micro mist system usually lasts just over six minutes, in which time you have several minutes of warmth then a shot of cold, which is used to close the hair cuticles. This is how the treatment is locked into the hair. You walk out of the salon with silky smooth hair that can last between 7 and 10 days and a few weeks.
Out of the six main functions of the micro mist system the three main ones that you need to know most about are the following:
Deep penetration of the hair
Heating activates the molecular movement of treatment agents and water in hair.
At the same time, heated micro mist swells the hair and enhances treatment agents permeate deep into each hair.
Setting in place
Cooled air sent from the fan draws vaporized heat and rapidly soothes the molecular movement that has been activated by heat energy. This action reinforces fixation of treatment agents to the inside of damaged hair.
All over effect
By circulating a large quantity of mist in the hood where the temperature is excellently controlled, the entire hair evenly receives heat energy. Each hair gets a treatment effect and retains moisture, resulting in healthy and youthful hair.
The Micro Mist system repairs and rejuvenates your hair, giving it strength, suppleness and a longer lasting shine.
If you are hoping to take advantage of the great benefits the micro mist system has to offer then get into with your salon today as this treatment is unique to salons and can't be done at home, unless you have over £2,000 spare that is! The micro mist system creates a smooth and relaxing sensation for the customer while the same time provides effective treatment for dry and damaged hair. The micro mist system is said to be the most effective treatment for damaged hair so book your appointment today.
Before I go and make the investment (it's a lot cheaper now fortunately) I'll try it at some salons as I notice several upmarket salons in London seem to be incorporating this treatment. It could well just be all hype though, we will see!

It's the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread!
, I’ve been doing this for about 2 - 3 weeks with no ill affects (Currently, I live in the UK which is not the warmest place and my hair needs all the moisture it can get 
). 
…… I returned it (I may have gotten a faulty one). . 
Thank you for your post!!
