Just put mine together, well..all of it except the base. I cannot figure out the metal piece at the bottom of the two rods..I wonder if that piece is the correct piece? Photo added.

I can't tell from your pic, but what I did was put the feet on the bottome then I unscrewed the metal piece from the pole and put it at the bottom of the feet pole; then put the pole on top; place screw in from bottom in metal while holding top still. It sandwiches the foot stand!
I wish they had directions, the blonde that I am I had to use my head.
and I wasn't sure until I tightened everything. But it seems just right!

you might have to do more protective styling and low manip. I only wash and dc 2x weekly and that's the only time I touch my hair besides moisturizing and sealing. That's the only time I comb also. Other than that it's wrapped or under a wig

I always wear protective styles like twists (no ext.) or something else and I only wash every 2-3 weeks. I dc when I wash and I baggy every night. I use coconut oil. I seal the ends and I'm still losing the ends . I only comb my hair when it's wet with conditioner on it and that's it. This Winter I have been doing the half-wigs and wigs also.
This is why I'm so frustrated with my hair. I'm thinking now that it may be a med. I'm taking now. I'm gonna order the steamer now. I've tried everything else , why not!! You ladies make it sound so good too.

Ok i just got my steamer and it had no instructions any who I called and they instructed me. He also told me at least once a mnth use quart cup of vin fill rest with water and let it run. then fill it with reg water and let it run to get vin smell out. This should clean the steamer. I am sitting under it now. ;-)

Do you have to do that even if you use distilled water?
Finding that distilled water was a MOTHER, I went to several walmarts and targets and shop rites and nada, I went to the local Walmart and they had a few so I got 2, I might need to stock up on a dozen for my Steam sessions LOL!

He told me to use tap water. He also said it won't hurt to use distilled but they notice it caused build up on prior machines. I have the pro 150 which is a "new" machine from what he said and it should be used with tap water. I found distilled water in 1 stop at Publix. I always see distilled water in the super market.
eta: I am sitting under her now 1st time and it GETS REALLY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like that.

I've received my steamer from salonsRus a few months back and I have a question:
How are you ladies cleaning your steamer?
I ask b/c in the section where the water tank is positioned (upside down) it seems like a little bit of water stays trapped when I remove the water tank after each use.....and there seems to be a little white gunk down there in the machine...ewwww
So am I the only one experiencing this or am I not doing something right?
I've been using distilled water all along!!.....I don't understand why I get the white gunk trapped in the machine
now I'm upset b/c they were not selling the ultra light steamer back when I got mine (and the price was higher--I paid $129 even with the exoticmommies discount) .. it seems like the new one is better since the tank is not upside down
I feel like I should have waited..buyer's remorse

I just opened the vent.
From what I read here every one uses distilled and I purchased it but i couldn't put the thing together so i called and during the conversation I asked about cleaning and what kind of water to use.

I got mine yesterday!! I need to put it together over the weekend. I can't use it until later...I'm an a personal challenge to make my current style last at least another 5 days.

But you are oh so right about not wanting it sitting on the porch. FedEx called me 5 hours ago to ask for directions. Where the heck are they? We did get 2ft of snow, but that can't stop them.

That sounds like an emergency in my mind.
I know better than to let mine sit on my steps all day so I would have been exiting the building as well, lol.

The Pro 150 has a higher wattage than the other model so it does get very hot - I noticed that too.
I'll robably fire mine up tomorrow for round 2

I was convincing myself not to, I will fire mine up again on Friday next week. LOL!I am planning another trip to Florida and was like how am I going to position my steamer in the back, then I figured I'd steam before I go, but I know myself, I will go in the water and keep touching my hair being upset I didn't bring my steamer.

Is the head of the steamer suppose to be sitting on the pole?
I put it together, but I have a feeling I did something wrong. One of my wheels came broken, but I can't be bothered. This thing is cheeeaap. I have two deep cuts down my wrist, I don't even know how they happened
Once used, i'll post my review.

TBS, I'm not sure which steamer you purchased but I had to reposition my steamer twice because it was leaning to the side. I realized that the pole needed to be in a little tighter. If the wheel came broken I would call or email salonsrus and I am sure they will send you another wheel. They have good customer service so I can't imagine they would charge you anything for shipping since it was their fault.
I'm under my steamer right now. I first steamed for one hour, but its so relaxing I'm in for round 2 right now. For my second steam I added avocado oil all over my hair. It feels really soft. Two hours is enough (overload? LOL) so I won't go in for another hour. I think.
