Finally Got My Steamer!!

[Pepperanne3662]

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to share the great news! I finally broke down and purchased a hair steamer. Had to do a little research from past posts in regards to a supplier.

I purchased it in New York on Tuesday and its great. I couldn't wait to get home and set it up (which was really easy to do) and pull out all my condiitoners and wash my hair. I am hoping with continued and proper use I will definitely see a great improvement in the health and growth of my hair.

I have a question though for anyone who is familiar with steam conditioning: How often can it be used and what conditioners work best with it (protein?).

That's great! I have that on my wish list!

Hey yall...so far it seems to be working out great. Last night was my first time using and but being that I am having some plumbing issues at this time, I can't wash out the remainder of the conditioner.

I am with you DSD, I had that on my wish list for the longest while but being that I changed jobs and will be going to Midtown and will be missing out on the convenience of my beauty supply stores and the location of my beauticians after work so I decided to break down and buy one for myself (especially being that a lot of salons dont have it in their shops).

I really can't wait to use it on my daughters hair which is natural and very thick but dry. I am hoping that will alleviate some of her dry scalp issues.

I should be receiving mine today via UPS

. I've been wanting want one also. This should really get me thru the winter. For my steam conditioning, I'll be using a combination of olive oil, jojoba, and essential oils

Is a steamer different from a heat cap?

where did you get it? how much?

Congratulations on your purchase! I haven't purchased one myself yet but when I was getting my hair steamed my favorite was when I did a LUST and Moisturfuse (old formulation) treatment. I was getting it done weekly for at least a month but I think if I purchase one I will limit my use to maybe 1 time a month so not to over do it.
Long term usage.

Please let me know how that turns out. I read about doing it and sounds wonderful. Will you be doing that before or after you shampoo?

What are the benefits of steamers? I had one used on my hair once at a salon but I didn't know you could get one for home use. Are they expensive and where do you buy them from? What are the benefits, do they condition better?

I got it from BEAUTY BEAUTY INC. located on Canal Street in NY (2nd Floor - but my model had to be picked up from the warehouse in Brooklyn).

It was about 291 and its a nice size and has a setting of low medium and high and it really gets hot!

I belive that company also has a website as well. I purchased model SY307( or 304).
