Steam Baby Steam Through 2013

Haven't washed my hair for 10 days, so desperate to get some moisture in and to have clean hair.

Steaming now with AE energizing, some AO honeysuckle rose, panthenol, jojoba oil and agave nectar.
 
Steaming for 30 mins with Mizani Moisturefuse (staple) with a few drops of Rosemary and a few drops or Peppermint. This stuff gives my hair life and moisture for days.
 
Does anybody with LCL steamer Pro-1037A still have a copy of the user manual? If so could you please please post or PM me a copy? I need to assemble my steamer.

I received my unit without a manual, I've email the company and I'm still waiting for a response. I'm confused as to why they'd ship their steamers without manuals :nono:. I understand they are trying to be eco-friendly but they could have sent an e-copy with the order confirmation or at least have it readily available on their website (perhaps I overlooked something).
 
@IDareT'sHair Thanks for the invite, count me in!:yay: My steamer will arrive on the 30th. I am so excited!! :drunk:

1. How often you will steam? Once or Twice per week
2. What method are you using to steam? Standing steamer
3. What products will you steam with? Various DC's (will specify within updates)


I have struggled with how to properly care for my type 4 hair since I decided to go natural and now almost 3 yrs later I finally understand my hair. :yep: I am so glad I didn't give up and go back to relaxers/texturizers because my edges couldn't survive that. Adding steam to my routine will help my hair maintain moisture and increase managibility. I can visualize the soft, swangy hair now.:lol:

BTW: I was planning to secretly participate in this challenge via lurk mode :look:
 
Steaming now for 30 minutes w/ my cassia oil mix & SM Purification Masque on top. (Is it reaaally hot under here, or is it just me...? :burning:)
 
So I figured out why my steamer was attacking me. :lol: More than once I jumped out from under it because it was spitting boiling water onto my scalp! It also ran out of water before the cycle was finished, which it's never done before. It seemed to be using--and wasting via scalding my scalp--a lot more water than usual.

When I finished I noticed that the reservoir was empty. When I lifted the hood, water gushed from it. Evidently it doesn't drain efficiently when the hood is all the way down at a 90 degree angle. :ohwell:

I'm learning, lol...tilting the hood and lowering the stand for next time!
 
A short hot steam today with AE Energizing, AO HSR (used up last serving), castor oil and agave nectar.

I've noticed my hair has had a lot more elasticity in the last few weeks, even when dry. So now wondering whether hair can be too elastic? Just not used to the feeling.
 
My steamer arrived today without the water reservoir.:angry2: I contacted the vendor to ask them to send it ASAP. I hope it gets here before the weekend.

nubiennze Some people have had to do a White Vinegar Rinse to clean their Steamer's insides.

I haven't had to do it, but plenty of people have done it. They've run White Vinegar and Water through a entire cycle and said theirs started to run properly. You should search some of the older Threads.
 
Doing an overnight DC'er (Saran Wrap) with: Marie Dean's Mango & Papaya DC'er,

Will Steam in the a.m. with something. Not sure with what yet?
 
Doing a 30-minute steam prepoo with castor/olive/avocado oil + SM Deep Treatment Masque...and having a much more pleasant experience this time. :lol: It turns out re-positioning the hood did the trick.

I'm coming back for a 30-minute DC with cassia oil + SM Purification Masque after I shampoo.
 
Steamed today for 30 mins with Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Smoothie and a few drops of Peppermint and Rosemary oil. Hair feels super moisturized right now.
 
Dc'ing under the steamer with Millcreek henna conditioner, Giovanni 50:50, shea/rice bran blend. I will put on a cap and hat and wash it out much later.
 
Steaming with green tea, honey, amla, brahim, rhausoul clay, mustard oil, tressemme natural nourishing conditioner.
