I really need to buy a steamer. I attempted to do the towel steam method and this did not work as well as i intended. It was ok but it felt like more of a deep conditioning treatment them a steam treatment. My hair was not saturated they way it is when I get the steam treatment at the salon. I put my deep conditioner on then a shower cap then towel. I wanted to put another shower cap on top of the towel but I had ran out of caps. I will try it with the second cap next time.... if I dont have a steamer by then......
Quick question ladies: Can one steam without washing the hair? I want to reduce manipulation of my hair and want to wash my hair only once a week, but I feel like the steaming is really good for my scalp. So I was wondering if I could put my hair in cornrows and stay under the dryer without necessarily washing and detangling.
Hi Ladies,
I have a question, how is the towel/baggy method different from deepconditioning with a plastic cap and a dryer?

I've been experiencing the same thing. My steams only feel like DC's and I use the shower cap, towel and dryer method.
I steamed with a shower cap on top of my towel this time (conditioner>shower cap>towel>shower cap). This worked a lot better for me this time. Not sure if you are putting a shower cap on top of the towel but you may want to try it. My hiar was more saturated and felt more moisturized. I was happy with the rusults unlike the last time... I still want a steamer though.
