HOME Grown Steam Treatment!

[BeautifulRoots]

towel first. no tangles.

Cool...I think im going to try this next wash day...

I did a steam treatment last night (not my first) and I was amazed - my hair soaked up ALL the conditioner. I didn't even rinse. I just put my hair back in a bun. This morning is it so moist and feels heavenly.

This makes me wonder. If my hair needed that treatment that bad should I do another one sooner than 2 weeks. Whatcha think?

I've been away from home for work lately and while I was away I found the answer to why my steaming wasn't working.

My turbie was too thin. I bought another turbie while I was away, and the new one was so much thicker and velour-like. So between having a thick enough head-wrap and using my portable soft-bonnet hair dryer, my hair was in heaven. I only used one turban and one plastic cap but the hair came out perfect!

Thanks Samantha!!

It's a Turbie Twist, I got it from Sally's.

 

[TexturedTresses]

I actually didn't have a turbie twist and couldn't find one so i just used 2 small towels.

Samjones67,

I've steaming for a couple of months now. It's one of the best things I've ever done for my hair. Thank you!

I also read your post about stearalkonium chloride and others and I decided to eliminate them as much as possible from my conditioners. My hair is thanking me for it. I could never understand why my hair was still bone-dry even though I was only CW. So even though my hair's not perfectly moisturized, it's still made a big difference.

Hi ladies! I just joined LHCF yesterday and it was mostly because of this thread. I tried my first steam treatment 3 weeks ago and it was FABULOUS!!! I mean, my hair has been trippin for about a month (I moved from Houston to Chicago) and that made such a big difference! I love em and now I'll be doing them every 2 weeks. So, thank you so much Samanthajones!!

I do them two or three times a week. One of those times is with the Nexxus Keraphix which is a light protein treatment. My hair is really back to the health it was in nearly 20 years ago.

I like it, I like it. So much cheaper than buying a steamer.

Thanks, can't wait to try.

Wow, that's an awesome idea. I'm surprised that's never crossed my mind as much plotting and scheming I do when it comes to my hair care routine .

I'm doing one now...did one on Monday night. I had MIchelle Obama hair afterwards. Got sooooooooooooo many compliments. This one dude kept staring at it, couldn't concentrate on his work...LOL

Tonight I'm doing it with my brand new conditioner mix after I co-washed my hair.
