hair steamers - who has one?

january noir said:
I just ordered the table top model from Amazon.com.
I've always wanted one, especially the roll away, but I don't have room for it so I'll be happy with this one. It will actually work out better because it's portable which is a good thing since travel between 2 homes.

I ordered this one but am having trouble getting the steam to dissipate inside of the hood. I must have done something wrong when assembling. The steam puffs outside of the hood.
I get frustrated very easy and will put it away. But I am trying not to go that route, because i know it is so beneficial for my hair!

You are probably just nervous and excited. Put it away and wait until you have more time and more patience and a fresh outlook. I get like this when I'm anxious and want to hurry up and use a new purchase.
 
I used my for the 1st time today for about an hour w/ AE Garlic Conditioner. It felt very, very good. I purchased the one from SalonsRUS via e-bay for $129 (free shipping). I also read that you should use Distilled Water to fill the reservoir.

I will definitely add ithis step to my weekly DC rotation.
 
OMG!!!! I have the SAME Sofa!!! :giggle:
Cool!

Yessssss, I totally agree. I received a hair steamer for Christmas, and I tell ya, I don't remember life before it. I do the same procedures as you; apply DC, pile hair loosely, secure with plastic clip ... but I only steam for about 20-30 minutes. I don't use a plastic cap either.

I also think my conditioner absorbs better into my hair with my steamer than it did with a hooded dryer and plastic cap. I just did a steam treatment this evening with Aubrey Organics GPB mixed with Honeysuckle Rose. I even took some photos to show how well it was absorbed after the steam:

Now those of you who use AO GPB know how UBER thick it is, so you can see how well it absorbed into my hair (at least I HOPE you can see that in the photos). I haven't even rinsed it out yet. Here's a photo of my steamer:

Ironically January - I had the steamer for like 2-3 weeks b4 I put it together. Then I put it together and nver tried to work it for another 2 weeks!!!
But I am putting it own for another week nd then I will try again. But I need it bad because I am 9 weeks post! I need steaming on a weekly basis!

Now I see your secret, why your hair is blinging all over the place :bling:

Did you order your model from SalonRus? I'm about this close to ordering.

I know - I've been getting my hair steamed on an off from the early 90s, so I would think it would be the same in the States too in terms of popularity. :ohwell: Steaming is such a big big thing over here!

You gals will not regret it! I am sitting under my steamer now steamin' in some henna.

Ahhhhhhh, feels good :grin:!
 
I can't wait to get mine. I ordered the steam Monday. It should be here any minutes. I may have to wait til next Monday since I have it being delivered to my job. I don't want nothing so precious being left at my house while no one is home. I don't care if it's heavy bring it home:lachen:

Sure, I bought mine from here: http://www.beautyhairproducts.net/i...ment/aphrodite-professional-steamer/p_53.html Try not to baulk too much at the price! Just think it's for your hair! :grin:

They also sell it at pak cosmetics in Finsbury Park, so if you drive you can just pop in and pick it up. Phone first and check that they have one in stock though.

I decided to also order the adjustable one on the stand. I am nervous because I hope it's not too big for my living space. I will leave the tabletop one over my SO's and the stand-model at my place.

Hi Jerseyjill! Did you assemble your steamer yet?
If you still need help, let me know. I put mine together last night and I can help you want.

I am doing my Ovation treatment now and after I rinse that out, I'm going to use the last of my WEN Re-moist Hydrating Mask with my steamer. I can't wait to see how my hair turns out.

Trust me, after you have your steam you will FIND space for it! :D I've got the adjustable one too. I've had to take all my shoes and coats out of my hallway closet and find other homes for them, all so I can store my hood dryer and steamer neatly away! It's so worth it! :yep:

Do come back on and let us know how your treatment was! :grin:

I will, I will! :grin:

I was thinking of putting it in the corner of my other bedroom (which is my home office.)
Can you adjust the arm downward so it doesn't stick out so far when not being used?

I don't have one with an arm, it's obviously a different model. Perhaps check the instructions. :)
 
^^^hey cous...left a post in the Wen thread...

okay, back to steamer...

so just checking...with the Pibbs, you can pull it apart if you had room to store it away in a closet...

is this not the case with the steamer?

Once its up...it up...no taking down and can readily put back together like the pibbs?
 
I was planning to wait until the end of May but will most likely order this week. I will send it to my momma's house cause I ain't got time for it to be sitting outside like someone else said on here. I hope it's not sent by USPS cause I definitely can't trust them to get it right most times.

Cream Tee: You are absoultely right. I did the exact same thing ! I kept trying to think about how/where I was going to 'store' it with my hooded dryer etc... But Chile'.......After I used it..........I went to re-arranging closets, coats, shoes and found a place for it with The Quickness !:lachen:

Mona Lisa, with an adjustable steamer you will be able to dismantle and put it away, just like with your dryer. :)

The only thing is it is a hassle sometimes putting it all together again, but I'll take the inconvenience if it means hassle free new growth!
