I just loosely pin my hair up with a hair pin.

Not sure why your steamer is so hot, can you turn it down to the lower setting?

I cant adjust my settings. I think I might have had the hood down too low.

Are people steaming with plastic caps? I thought the point of the steamer was to do it with no plastic between the hair and the steam?

I know there was another thread about whether to use or not to use a plastic cap.....But I don't use a cap. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm natural, my hair is about 4" long and I steam 2 or 3 times a week. My scalp or hair doesn't suffer. I get great, moisturizing results.

Steam without the cap.....You'll get better results from direct steam.

I will start steaming sometime this month as I just pre-ordered a table top steamer at http://www.behuetiful.com/store/index.php?ccUser=8ab407d0d3512fc7b200e6ae12b77b50. I wanted an upright steamer but I have a Pibbs and I have no place to store both. I can't wait!

I steam with a plastic cap, and I still feel the steam heat massaging and opening up my scalp...and my hair is much softer... if folks can use a plastic cap with dry heat and still receive good results, then they can use it with steam heat and receive good results as well....

Some people do, but most don't. I don't.

Hi!!!

I tried the steam towel wrap! My hair loved it!!!! Seriously the results was something I did not expect. After I rinsed out the condish...curls were flawless and shiny. Then added the Giovanni leave-in moisturizing condish and seal ends with raw butter. After air dried; I roller set with flex rod (purple).
All week I rcvd compliments that my hair looked healthy and shiny.
Im very proud.
Steam towel wrap DC will be added to my reggie.

People who are having TOO HOT PROBLEMS UNDER THE STEAMER:

Cut on the fan ( I have the long ones looks like a stick) sit it back about 4 feet, Let it rotate not directly on you because it doesn't allow a good Steam, if it rotates you get a great steam and the heat from the steamer for me isn't even noticed

Boy where do i start. First i have to say if it wasnt for this forum i would have never known about steaming so hats off to LCHF for that. I started steaming a few months ago and the difference is amazing. I sit for a minimum of 15 minutes with my conditioner and right away i noticed from root to tip my hair feeling more moisturized and soft. I used to have a problem with very dry ends not matter what i used to do, and now this is not a problem. I have a steamer at home and when i want to spoil myself i go to the salon where they have a steamer and all i can say is im hooked and will never stop.

Do you all think the steamer contributes to bubble hair?

you guys are so sweet!!

 

[faithVA]

afrofaithful, You may get some answers here but there are quite a few steamer challenges and steamer threads where people have posted that you may not get as many responses as you like.

You may just want to search for steaming or check the first 10 pages and of the hair forum and you will find something about steaming and what people are already doing.
