I received the EvaSalons hair steamer for Christmas from my brothers (yes, they thought I was crazy for requesting this, but the things we do for hair ).
I promised I would post a review since so many ladies have been talking about steamers lately.
Here's a link to the steamer, though I think it may be out of stock now: http://www.evasalons.com/store/inde..._id=37&zenid=59613f43c96cede8afe205a238f427b3
It was $139.99 and shipping was free.
It arrived in one big box and took all of 10 minutes to "assemble." I didn't need tools or anything, it was simple to put together.
The pole it sits on is adjustable and gets pretty tall. I sat in my tall barstools and I'm 6'2" and I had room to adjust it even more if I wanted too. It also can adjust to be pretty low for a short chair (excuse the pile of laundry).
The hood is very roomie. Here's is me with my head under it to give you an idea of size. Excuse the ashy face.
I cowashed with Nexxus Humectress first, then DC'd with a mix of Hairveda SitriNillah, Humectress and honey under the steamer for 30 minutes with no cap. The steamer worked great and I had very few drips.
Hair before with conditioner:
Hair after no product:
Not sure if the pics show the difference, but this was the most curl definition I have ever seen with my 4b (??) transitioning hair. I also noticed that my curls were more "stretched." My hair was soft and moisturized after the steam treatment and when dry. This is only my first time using it, but I plan to steam every two weeks and see how it affects the long term health of my hair.
I am very happy with this steamer and think it's a very good value for the price. It does not fold up or anything so you would need to have someplace to put it, but I just wheeled it into the closet of my second room.
Thanks to samanthajones for posting the original home steam treatment, which got me thinking about getting one for myself.
