What do you do if you don't have a steamer/drier/heating cap?

[Superfly Sister]

Is there an alternative method? I would love to own one but I don't really have a place to keep one unfortunately.

Is there another way I could deep condition?

Yep - wash and apply DC. Put a conditioning cap over hair (the plastic ones). Saturate an old medium sized towel in water. Microwave it for about 1 - 2 minutes. Put on house gloves and wrap around your head like a turban and then wrap with an old plastic bag to keep heat in. You can also double up the towels and keep them on while you soak in a warm bath.

ETA: If you have a hand held drier you can also get those inflatable hood drier things and use that to DC.

I DC on dry hair using the microwaved wet towel (wash cloth) method under a shower cap while I work out for about an hour or two. Works wonders for me.

I agree with the others about the wet towel method, but I use my SOs wifebeaters instead, just easier for me to manipulate and wrap on my head. and sometimes wrap around a saran covered conditioner saturated ponytail too.

How much space do you need for a heatingcap? you can keep that in a drawer, closet, or any small place.

I do the same method above but I use a dry, heated towel instead of a wet one.

I use the self heating caps at sally's they help boost my Deep conditioners. They are cheap but work great give it a try, I leave my DC on for about 1-3 hours for the full effect .
