faithVA Can I join even if I am just steaming the diy way? ...plastic bagsand hot towels? Lol. I tried it for the first time on sunday and I am doing it again tonight. It seems to help with my low porosity issue but I cant afford a steamer any time soon.

Ok guys so my steaming session was and cause I was craning my neck to see the tv, one side of my head got the full blast of the steam....while the other one didn't. So I was able to get a comparison....even if unintentionally. The side which got the full effects of the steaming.....was soft, smooth, silky. The other side not so much. My hair is still soft and fluffy 2 days later.

That's funny. You should go back under so the other half isn't jealous.

 

[bajandoc86]

@faithVA i know right! I am gonna steam tonight again....so I will have to force myself to keep quiet so the left side of my head doesn't decide to rebel against me. She was not happy last time.....like 'what?!? u don't think i wanna be as smooth as butta too?!?! I'm gon get u!' - cue SSKs.

 

[isawstars]

I just finished my second steam treatment for the week.

Tuesday: Steamed Hot Six Oil with a moist towel and my heating cap
Today: Sat under the steamer with Elasta QP DPR 11+ mixed with a small amount of ORS replenishing pak.

 

[bajandoc86]

Steamed again last night....did a protein treatment followed by a deep moisture treatment. My tangles melted away. I am a newbie to steaming, but I am loving it more and more.

 

[Nix08]

I'll be steaming tomorrow

 

[thecurlycamshow]

Steamed today after oiling my hair with coconut oil.

 

[hair4romheaven]

Just washed with lemon mud wash. Now steaming with AOWC w/ WGO and a glass of moscato. The glass isn't part of the challenge but is so fitting at the moment. ;-)

ETA: I just steamed for 30 min. and looked at my hair my hair literally absorded all of it. This has NEVER happened before. I had given up on AO as it just sat on my hair. I mean seriously its gone. I love to see that because it makes me feel as if my hair properly abosrbs the goodies. If my hair feels great after drying this is a STAPLE!!!!

Yesterday was my birthday and family members were very generous this year. I want to purchase a steamer ASAP! I really want the evasalon http://www.evasalons.com/store/inde..._id=37&zenid=59613f43c96cede8afe205a238f427b3 it's in my price range! But it says it's not available until NOVEMBER 21st! The challenge will almost be over by then. *sigh*

I know there are a alot of steamer threads (i've looked through them all) but I'd appreciate it if you share the exact model you are using. Or anything similar to the evasalon... or even somewhere that also sells the same product. TIA

 

[faithVA]

I almost forgot that I started this thread which means I really need it. I did not steam this weekend. I decided to henna instead. That made my wash day really long so I cut the steaming out so I could get to bed by 12. For some reason it didn't occur to me to steam after the henna with a DC.

But I did watch the BeHuetiful yt video which gave me some insight on the Huetiful Steamer. So I am definitely ready to get back on point this weekend.

I Forgot to Post in Here Saturday, but I Steamed with Marie Dean's Seaweed & Rice Deep Conditioner.

[NappyNelle]

Probably steaming tomorrow night after I finish taking out these twists.
