Steam Baby Steam Through 2013

I did my first steam this year (I know, I'm late :look:). I steamed in some Shea Moisture Purification Mask for twenty minutes after my henna/indigo treatment.
 
I steamed yesterday with the end of my HQS peppermint and SD vanilla silk. I added some hempseed oil.:lick:
 
I steamed with my usual Design Essentials Express condish last Saturday. Yesterday I decided to do a midweek steam. I sprayed my hair with water and applied Design Essentials Naturals Leave In Conditioner in quarter sized amounts to different sections of my hair and steamed for 45 minutes. Afterwards I put my hair in twists. The next morning, my hair was so soft and moisturized that I was slightly stunned. My twistout looked great! I am going to try it again to see if it produces the same results. I hated the Leave-In conditioner because it has such a tacky, sticky consistency. That's why I never throw my products away!
 
Steamed today with AE Energizing, castor oil, panthenol plus a random conditioner I want to use up. Planned to stay under for an hour but about 45m in steamer started dripping very hot droplets onto my scalp, so that was my cue to stop.
 
My water reservoir finally arrived today. :yay: I am steaming with Silk Elements Mega Moisture and a little Rice Bran oil. This thing is throwing off mad steam so I guess I can forgive the ebay seller.
 
I steamed my Henna treatment for approximately 1 hour followed by a deep moisturizing conditioning treatment using MyHoneyChild Molasses Deep Conditioner + Jojoba Oil for approximately 30 minutes.

After trying to justify buying the Pibbs steamer for $499.00 i decided...NOT! Went and ordered a steamer from LCLbeauty. I had a steamer but it conked out after 2 years but i think it was mainly my fault since i didnt always use distilled water nor empty out completely after each use. I have learned my lesson and will take better care of this one. I was so tempted to get the Pibbs 132 Steamer and that was the cheapest i could find it but in the end I just couldn't do it. I should have my steamer by next Friday so i can go back to steaming weekly. I do miss steaming so much. I will be steaming with Silk Dreams Vanilla Deep Condish.

I can't be bothered to steam in this prepoo tonight (even though my hair was like :gorgeous: last week when I did it, I'm just too lazy to get under there twice :lol:). Sitting under the heat cap until I feel like getting up and into the shower--likely 45 minutes or so--then steaming in cassia oil + SM Purification Masque after my wash.
 
Hopefully I can join the second phase of this challenge but I was just curious.... Does anyone steam with a mayonnaise concoction? Or just ORS hair mayonnaise ?

I steam with any/every Deep Conditioner, Deep Treatment, Penetrating Deep Treatment, Intensive Treatment I have in my Stash.

Any thick DC'er you have will work well. Instant's & R/O's meh...not so much.
 
IDareT'sHair - yea I don't do instant and rinse out condishes either. They don't have any purpose in my regimen. They are just meh to me.

A good DC nah :lick: That's something totally different!
 
Hey ya'll!

I just got my hair steamer today so hopefully I can still join this thread :grin:

I just applied Macadamia's Healing Oil treatment and sprayed with Macadamia's Healing Oil Spray all over my braids as a pre-poo.

I plan on using their Deep Conditioning Mask under the steamer later tonight. Since I ended up with heat damage, my hair has been a dry stringy mess. I hope this steamer helps put the moisture back into my hair....
 
Shorter steam than normal today: 30 mins. My hair is starting to feel a bit too stretchy for my liking so limiting my time under it.

Using AE garlic conditioner with a chaser of castor oil, panthenol, bargain Tresemme conditioner and agave syrup.
 
Steaming right now for 30 mins. with Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair DC and a few drops of Rosemary and Peppermint.
 
Dc'ing now with Giovanni 50:50, coffee and an oil protein treatment under the steamer for about 10 minutes ...
 
I steamed again midweek using the Design Essentials Natural Leave-In with great results. I will definitely try to incorporate the midweek steam for 30 minutes as often as possible.

Off topic, but I also have a product rave. For 3 weeks I have been using Design Essentials Hydrate Leave In Conditioner since I am not a fan of their natural hair leave-in (except for steaming purposes). I use it nightly or about 4xs per week when I twist my hair for bed. I spray a section of hair with African Royale Braid Spray and then apply the Hydrate Leave-In to each section and twist. My hair is so moisturized and defined in the morning that I don't have to do anything else but fluff. This, in addition to weekly steaming has helped my hair moisture tremendously. I will post pics tomorrow.
