hair steamers - who has one?

It looks like I am going to have to break down and buy myself a steamer:rolleyes:. I just have to figure out a way to justify it with DH. Do you ladies have any good ideas?
 
The cap issue is an individual thing. I wear a cap, but I still get all the benefits of the steam. When I tried to steam without the cap I ended up over conditioning, but this doesn't mean it'll be the same for those who choose not to wear a cap though.

Try it without the cap, and see if you like it, but listen to your hair.

AD!!!! Hi there!

Well, just share that you have made sooo much progress - you would love to make even more.... That is what I said....:giggle:

Try the homegrown treat - and then let him feel the softness :giggle:
 
I just did my steam treatment. I was so excited. It was very easy to put together. I used Poland Spring Water and went to steaming after a quick wash.

My hair's twists pretty much broke apart under the pressure of the water in the shower. I guess I should have used pantyhose as suggested from another member here. Anyway, it's in a pony and I'm gonna airdry. The apply some shea butter to see how my hair feels.


I am in love. Thank you LHCF:grin:

My steam conditioning experience felt great. The HAIR GIFT counter top model turned out to work very, very well once I got it together and figured out why it wasn't working. Thanks to the fantastic and helpful review posted by Finding Me. Thanks girl! :yep:

The steam came out strong and lasted for 20-30 minutes.
I did swivel my chair around so that the back of my hair would get conditioned as well and that's based on another review (I can't remember who though) that said that the steam wasn't as strong on the nape/neck area.

I was rushing to get out of the house, so after the steam, I rinsed and threw 4 or 5 curlers in my hair, got under the hair dryer for 20 minutes. My hair was still damp/wet in some spots, but overall, the curls were bouncy and shiney. Last night, I pin curled and I'm wearing my hair out today which is not often for me; my hair looks pretty. :yep:

The counter top model by HAIR GIFT is a keeper. I will store and use that one over my SO's house.

I also purchased the Hair Conditioning Steamer, Model HO-5, from JTE System site.
http://www.jte-system.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_6

They have a little video you can watch that shows the features in action.

I can't wait to see, what, if any, difference between the professional steamer and the counter top one for home use. The professional steamer I will keep at my house. I will post about that one later.

I'm going to be a steaming fool! :yep:

Is there a specific reason why you got this steamer instead of the one from Eva's? TIA.

Who's Eva?
No particular reason other than I went to Amazon.com after getting tired of going back and forth through the thread and seeing many links for practically the same type of steamer, similar prices, etc.

Well all the steamers on Amazon.com were out of stock and at the bottom of the page were links to salon equipment stores and JTE was one of them.

Oops I meant Salon Outfitters. Here is the link:

I was just wondering if you had done some comparison shopping and figured the one you chose was a better deal. Thanks. How much was your total including shipping?

ETA: Nevermind on the shipping I just clicked on the link.

Another fully paid up member of the steam club! :D

Sorry about your twists though - I didn't think about that!

I put a small roller on the ends of my hair when I wash in twists....They don't come undone in the Shower!
HTH.
 
I finally bought my steamer. I believe I have been talking about it for 6 months. I got the one from Salonsrus/Salon Outfitters. I can't wait to use it :)!

I got an e-mail saying it has shipped already and I should receive it by next Friday or the following Monday. I love that type of customer service!
 
I just Steamed Again ! It is actually quite Addictive. I used the Germen D' Trigo Wheat Germ Hair Conditioner for an hour. My, my,my !:grin:
 
This is on my list to buy but I'm not sure which one to get now. I thought I would get the one from that SalonRUs website but now I'm interested in the one JanuaryNoir posted...it costs more. BUT it has different steam settings and the stand is adjustable. I didn't see any description on the SalonRUs website. I can't be so sure if it's adjustable or not...if there are more than one setting or not. Didn't someone post that they didn't get a cup with theirs? :look:

Update: I've found a few vendors on Ebay with descriptions of their steamer...so now I have more options....

If you can afford the adjustable one, as that is more expensive, I would go for that one. The difference between these type of steamers and the table top ones is very noticeable. :yep: I don't think the table top steamers offers variable steam settings, which is quite key imo.

I :love: steaming!!!! I won't be steaming again until Tuesday morning though, so I'll have to wait a while for my next fix. :grin:

^^ I had the same issue. The SalonRus one is adjustable:

I must have overlooked that on the site, my bad. Now, on ebay there is one that I seem to like....I think it's a light purple or lilac in color--costs a little more too. I'm debating on getting one of those waterstick things that sareca posted about...I'm thinking I should invest in that first (since it filters hard water minerals and chlorine from your shower water).

I am about to steam in a min. I just took out the last 2 rows of box braids in the back and I am loving the waves of my 7 1/2 month post hair. Now that I have the steamer and its is helping manage the new growth I am seriously thinking of going all natural.
 
I'm steaming my kinky twists right now. I love this thing. I steamed my hair (on high) and my face (on low) this morning. Before I got the steamer I was using the towel method. The towel method was better than nothing but there's really no comparison. :nono:
