Humidifiers and Hair Growth??

I'm thinking about getting a humifier to keep at home and in the office to keep my skin supple and my hair from drying out this winter.

Are there any ladies out there that have any results from using humidifiers?? I read 2 threads from a while back about people considering getting humidifiers so I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who has been using them for a while now and has positive/negative results.

Let me know...thanks:)
 
I know winter is dry. I must be ghetto, because I have decorative vases with water and marbles in them all over the place.

I have a air meter in my apartment it tells how moist the air is or how dry. It is very seldom in the comfort Zone. In the summer it is usually all the way over to the right for moist and in the winter a quarter on the left for Dry air.

I think having a humidifier is a good idea to keep your skin and hair supple.

Instaed of buying a humidifier, you can buy one of those foutains with the rocks that has water flowing. I also have on of those. I plan on putting one on my desk at work.:yay:

Good idea on the fountain with the rocks I have always found those pretty. But I still think i'm going to get a humdifier, my throat is soooooo dry and itchy when I'm in the office no matter how much water I drink.


Anybody else w/ results???
 
On Motions website, under their hair tips section they mention keeping a pot of water warming on the stove. I suppose this is to give the same effect as a humidifier without spending additional money. This might work if you live in an apartment. Probably wouldn't work as well for anyone with a large house, multiple levels, etc.
 
I had to buy a humidifier for my sinuses. I had 2. I had a warm mist which I really did not like and gave it to my neice. I love my cool mist. It works really well. The brand is Vicks and I got it from Walmart. I bought it for my sinuses but it keeps my hair from drying out. I like it for my hair more than for my sinuses. :grin:
 
I have a humidifier for the dryness in cold wheather and a the table top hair steamer which I do deep cond tretments with-I'm not playing around with getting moisture this year and I've gotten good results so far.
For hair steamer info check my journal.
 
Lucia, I'm really interested in the hair steamer!!! I tried to check out the info in your journal but the link isn't working (the site is having technical problems), would you please list the info here. Thanks :)
 
I bought one for my dry skin and have been using it for about a month. I did not know when I purchased it that there were benefits to hair as well, so I haven't tracked results.

I do know that it is a Godsend and I sleep better now than I ever did! I got a really cute desktop one that sits on my night stand from Bed Bath & Beyond that has a neat little night light on it. Makes for nice atmosphere in the bedroom at night (although I generally don't sleep with the light on), and it's a cool mist humidifier.

SG
 
I'm trying to decide between a cool mist and a warm, I keep hearing and reading conflicting things. My coworker says she prefers the warm mist. She says she can't sleep without a humidifier. BTW her skin is flawless and she just cut her hair from waist length to brastrap (she's Filipino though).

You just gave me an idea :grin:
 
When I questioned my kids' pediatrician why he asked me to use cool instead of warm he said that as a rule warm is better - because our homes and bodies are "warm" - but he had originally told me cool only because it is considered "safer" around curious little kiddies. He mentioned that as a possible reason why the cool ones are sold anyway - for use around kids.
 
I purchased a Vicks brand Warm Mist Humidifier for my godson (6 mos old). It worked great, it disperesed a nice war mist all night long and not mention helped clear up his congestion. No complaints here :)
 
go to
www.beautybeautyusa.com
it's the LR-08 I think, but the pic didn't come up.
for the table top hair steamer, they have the big ones pictured, you call their number and ask for the small table top one to make sure. hth

Same here. I have been trying to decide between cool and warm mist and I have been reading conflicting info.
 
You know when I was in college, my roomate put one in our dorm room, I swear my hair and skin were super healthy. I think I may get one as well.

What is the conflicting info? Would the warm mist make the room feel warmer?

This would be a plus during winter, but could a pain in summer. :perplexed

Well I have read that there can be mold/bacteria issues with the warm mist version

I've heard this too, but my coworker prefers the warm mist one it helps her breathe better at night, it seems to be the best one to use if you have a cold too. As for hair it kind of makes sense to use the warm mist one as warm temperatures open up the cuticle which could make it absorb the moisture better, but i'm not sure about this:perplexed . I might be making this more technical than need be :ohwell: .

I realized I actually have a cold air humidifier at home that my mother bought a long time ago but that still works so I'm going to start using that one tonight. And then maybe buy a warm mist one for work and see which one I like better.

I don't have a hair steamer, but I don't think so. Your hair would never dry. I've been put under the steamer at dominican salons but only to deep condition, never to dry.

This is just my opinion, if anyone has actually tried this they would be better equipped to answer than me.
 
I just recently bought a humidifier(cool mist) for my bedroom...and let me just say it's a must have...I bought it mainly for my sinus congestion...but it works wonders for my hair...last night I tried it...I moisturized my hair as usual, rolled up my ends, and placed on my satin bonnet...this morning when I woke up, my hair was so moist and soft:eek: ...I couldn't believe it...usually my hair would be dry in the morning...I didn't even have to apply any moisturizer to my hair all day...a huimidifier is an excellent choice.:)
 
So how do humidifiers affect relaxed hair? Does it revert at all because of all the humidity?

I live in Houston which is pretty humid. Do you think one would still be beneficial for me? What is a good humidity level (meaning not too dry)?
