I like using a hooded dryer because imo it's easier.

I do the hooded dryer too. The wet towel is too heavy for my head and it hurts my neck.

I use my hooded dryer too, but I'm dying to figure out a way to truly steam my hair at home. I just don't think the results are quite the same with dry heat of the hooded dryer versus the moist heat of the steam directly on my hair. Don't tell anyone, but I tried to do it using my room humidifier one evening. I'd put too much salt in it and it was really cranking out the steam. I'd just gotten out the shower, so I decided to kind of lean over and put my hair in the "flow" of the steam. It worked pretty well - the only drawbacks were that it was extremely awkward, and I didn't have a way to "contain" the steam around my head.

If I could figure out a way to use a bonnet and hose...or something...

Any ideas anyone???

Well I started out using a towel in the microwave but after making one catch fire that way, I invested in a gold n hot heating cap which I felt was too big for my head and wasnt giving me the deep treatment I was going for. So I finally broke down and purchased a hooded dryer, I like it so much better. Still wondering how I managed to catch that towel on fire in the microwave though

How would you guys compare a heating cap to a hood dryer?

Do you mean like the Avon microwaveable heat cap some have posted about? This is on my Christmas list but I can't find it anymore on avon.com.

My challenge is almost over too.

Personally I like the hooded dryer best. I feel that more heat is being applied, the heating cap barely gets warm. It could be because I have a small head or maybe not enough hair. The heating cap always felt too big and loose even when I would tighten it up.

i do both... i put inmy conditioner, then wrap a warm wet towel on my head, pur a shower cap over the towel, then sit in a warm hooded dryer for 20 -30 min. This method works exactly like using a hair steamer.

Curious if anyone else still uses this method as opposed to buying an actual steamer. If so, any tips you have are greatly appreciated
