told me that using a steamer is for white women and that I shouldn't use it because it does nothing for dry hair. i know my hair was kinda dry because I use a luminizer on friday and I didn't dc. But I'm not selling my steamer.:ohwell:
 
She said that my steamer is only good for coloring and women with relaxer. She told me to use a dryer for dc's:perplexed
 
I Don't See How anything that is Actually Adding Moisture to Your Hair i.e. Steam, Could possibly be bad for Natural Hair? :perplexed

Did you ask her why?:look:

:spank:
girl you've GOT to deep condition after you luminize! :lol:

and don't pay attention to the stylist. stylists will tell you whatever they want to tell you in order to keep you in their chair. listen to your hair; if your hair's been responding well to steam treatments, then that's your answer right there!
 
Regardless of whether your hair is relaxed or natural, steam is a much more effective way to DC than dry heat. My daughter is natural and her hair responds beautifully to the steam.
 
OK....Let me say this loud and clear *clears throat* I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AFTER HEARING THOSE WORDS!!!...Does this person know anything about hair?????....I have being using a steamer for the past 4 weeks and I could swear my hair is a holding a moisture far better than before when I just CD'ed without the steamer

Girl I was just telling yall what she said, there's no way I won't use my steamer. My hair is thriving with steam. Like I said I did a luminizer on friday and didn't dc afterwards.:lachen:
 
Ok. Well. That stylist doesn't know what she's talking about. All of my clients that get steam treatments love them and their hair is doing so well with them.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why she would say that helping your hair absorb and retain moisture would be bad for your hair. Has she ever done them on her hair? If she did she wouldn't be talkin' that yang.

Everybody should use steam. It is nothing but beneficial.

Because she doesn't want OP's hair to thrive without her being involved in the process. Doing steam treatment is what got me through the last two weeks of my 15 week stretch. It made my new growth feel like butter afterwards!
 
Your stylist is right, you shouldn't use a steamer. AT ALL. PERIOD!





Send it to my house! I'll PM you my address LOL
 
I have to ask.

I know I shouldn't, but I have to.

What does her hair look like?

Plenty of people have grown healthy long hair without steamers, but likely not w/o moisture. Did she suggest a moisture alternative or just oil sheen?
 
Even steam from a shower or sauna is great for hair especially natural hair why would....nevermind.

DSD I wish there was a way we could find a way to get to your bretheren and sisteren in the hair indstury and educate them.

Sorry I am venting a little, just had a serious talk with my niece who came back from being with her father this summer and her aunt who is a hairdresser came at her hard to get a relaxer and telling her not to cowash and that everything she was doing was wrong.

My neice (smart little cookie that she is at the age of 13) took a look at her cousins hair and saw that her aunt had put a relaxer in her hair and she has NO hair now it is really short, broken and a complete mess. :perplexed

My neice told me Nana I saw her daugther's head and told her no, because if I don't take care of it, it will come out and then I would have to start all over getting my hair healthy again. :nono:
