Re: Since I couldn\'t get an answer...
According to the website whose URL I've pasted below the quote, a hot moist towel (no dryer) does give your hair a steam bath:
[ QUOTE ]
Massage the scalp with almond oil and steam bathe your hair. Steam bath is taken by dipping the towel in boiling water and wrapping it around the hair, like a turban. Do not let the corners of your towel be wet, so that you can hold them. When your towel gets cold, repeat it thrice or four times. Steaming opens the scalp pores and increases the capacity of the hair to absorb oil at its roots.

Not sure about the boiling water, though.
As for your idea of a moist towel under a dryer... seems to me it'd dry up before you had enough of the spa treatment (or worse catch fire, if your dryer is faulty); and depending on how thick your towel is, you might not even feel the steam before the towel is nice and toasty dry.
I think you'd get a better "steaming effect" if instead you wore a plastic cap over wet hair and then sat under a dryer. The heat would turn the water on your head into steam and the experience would be more or less the same as if you were under a steamer.
When I deep condition, since my hair is usually damp before I apply conditioner, my cap fills with condensation like you'd see on a steaming machine by the time I'm done.

Perhaps you can create your own steam room in your bathroom?????
A couple of thoughts come to mind:
Run your shower on hot only. With a closed bathroom door you may get the same affect. Of course, I would not advise this if you have to pay the water bill
Get a steam pot. Plug it up. Place a towel over your head (head should be wet with conditioner) and steam away.
Just some simple thoughts.......

@ the visual of a towel bursting into flames. That would one embarrasing trip to the hospital! I'd make up a story about an intruder or something. I wouldn't want the Drs to know I was too cheap to buy a hair steamer.
