Yes I wanted to DC my hair tonight with steam, No I did not want to be up this late doing it. I should have been in bed about 2 hours ago.
I was all excited about this idea I had to mix some things into the Shescentit Banana Brulee Condish(It is GREAT on its own but I felt like mixing up some stuff). I took out a generous scoop put it in my mixing bowl added 1/2 jar of banana baby food and 1 tablespoon of olive oil
. Sounds great right? Well its smelled sooo good. I put the kids to bed and then proceeded with my wash routine. Before all of this while we were watching heroes I prepooed with my hair oil and some brahmi oil.
So I washed with Keratin Shampoo, then I added the yummy conditioner mix to my hair like a relaxer. Then I parted my hair in half because I wanted my middle section to be more exposed to the steam. I then went to my "hair room" and put the water in my steamer (which I haven't used since I moved here) and then turned it on. I know it takes a minute for the steam to start coming out so I left only to come back to a steamer spurting water out on the carpet!!!!! I was like WTH
erplexed??? I only had one towel on me so I used that to try to catch the water and turned the steamer off. I was so frustrated. I said this can't be and tried it again, only for the same thing to happen AGAIN!! Only silly Chameleon would try again which I did, and again the water was coming out of the bottom of the unit! Luckily, I have a PIBBS also so I used that to DC instead. I tested the pibbs when we moved here but I did not test the steamer
.
After I was done DCing I thought to myself to try one more time. This time I was just trying because its in my nature to keep trying. I retightened everything again just to be sure. I put less water in it but you know what....it worked properly! I thought I was going to wake everyone up from how loud I screamed the scream of accomplishment. I did steam for 5 minutes just because by the way. I just had to tell someone about this right now
.
And my hair was soooooooffffftttt afterwards. Followed up with the Shescentit leave in and sealed with my hair butter, put my hair in four plaits and put my satin scarf on.

It's good you were able to fix the steamer!
well done for sorting it out, glad it worked and you were able to have a wonderful DC result.
