Just steamed for 45 mins with Joico MRB with panthenol and castor oil. Hair felt great last week on this mixture, so need to restock the Joico for next time.
My mom just bought me a steamer for my birthday and had it sent to me. It should be at the post office by Monday or Tuesday , so I would like to join part II of this challenge please!
1. How often you will steam? 1X a week
2. What method are you using to steam? Huetiful Hair Steamer
3. What products will you steam with? Whatever I have on hand. I usually make a homemade DC.
I steamed yesterday. First steaming with Henna for about an hour followed by steaming for 30 minutes with a mixture of Aubrey's GPB + Molasses + Grapeseed Oil and MyHoneychild Molasses Deep Conditioner.
Excited! I dusted off my standup steamer yesterday and will return. To my routine for 2009 to grow my hair out - steam, linage Shea butter relaxer and a proper moisture/protein balance.
Steamed in my DC last night:
AOWC, tea and a little giovanni 50:50 on the roots
Giovanni 50:50 on the length of my hair with a shea butter blend over top.
Double steam today. First was a pre-poo steam with Ojon restorative treatment. Second is a post-poo with AE Energizing, castor oil and Tresemme conditioner.
Steamed tonight for about 40 mins with NaturelleGrow slippery elm, marshmallow root, & cinnamon DC. I've been wearing my hair out in a wash n go all week, so it was dryer than usual. This was my first ever steam treatment! It went well. Not sure if I noticed a difference tho, but only time will tell...
I forgot I steamed last week using the YAM nectar again. I'll be steaming tomorrow, most likely with NG Marshmallow Root & Slippery Elm.
Last night, I used EVOO & the Slippery Elm to steam on DD's dry hair. When it was done, her tangles just melted. I washed & styled as usual. Her hair is super soft.
1. How often you will steam? Once every 7-10 days
2. What method are you using to steam? My LCL Standup steamer
3. What products will you steam with? Various conditioners and oils.
So now that my hair is dry I came here to say that the steam did something great to the moisture balance of my hair, and I didn't even think I had a problem with that. My hair is so soft and supple. I'm really excited to see the outcome as time progresses.
