Cream Tee: You are absoultely right. I did the exact same thing ! I kepy trying to think about how/where I was going to 'store' it with my hooded dryer etc... But Chile'.......After I used it..........I went to re-arranging closets, coats, shoes and found a place for it with The Quickness !
Oh yes. The storage issue will be the least of your problems after you run those hands through your soft silky hair!!
It was delivered by US Postal Service, signature required.
I got it today!!! Here's my:
I really like it!!! :woohoo2: At first I was nervous bc the box was kinda small and looked a little worn inside the brown cardboard box they shipped it in...I also kind freaking out bc at first I couldn't find the hood, but as it turns out, you have to piece it together...
PROS:
CONS:
- It is small and light, and comes apart, so storage is easy
- It wasn't too bad to put together, but I was kinda tripping that I had to put it together at all (con
- It fits on the counter and has nice rubber grips so the baby doesn't move (see pics, click for larger)
- Heats well (not too hot, but plenty of steam) and steam flows up and out of hood, so no steam down all around in your face
- Comes with a little facial steamer attachment that you can use for facial steaming as well instead of the hood (pleasant surprise
) (see pics)
- Even with the cheaper materials, it worked well...made for a nice lightweight product
- Hood detaches easily, so I could wash out the conditioner residue that was at the top and on the sides. I just rinsed mine right in the tub (see pics)
- Has enough steam from the MAX line for about a 25 minute steam. Steam came pretty quickly as easily
- There is an ion switch you can flip on/off independently of the power for ionic steam
I did my protein DC and my hair came out SO soft but felt STRONG, not on the hard side like usual when I do protein treatments. I didn't do the stuff to it today that usually makes my hair on the silky side, so I'll have to test that later. Also I had no alarms going off, but I only used it once.
- I had to put it together
- I was expecting something a little more solid, but the hood was made up of these little flexible clear blue plastic pieces that you snapped together, once snapped together though it was OK. If you drop the hood, though, you'll prolly be snapping them things back together and fixin the hood
- There is no height adjustment, so you have to get old school and pull out the telephone books (or a shorter stool) if you're taller like me
- Since the steam flowed up and out, the nape of my neck didn't really get any steam, I had to keep tilting my head at odd angles to try and get the steam there.
All in all, FM gives it!
IT! It makes you want to pull out every single conditioner in your stash and steam, steam, steam. I have one like a hooded dryer (stand up w/wheels). So no bodily adjustments needed. Only space adjustments

Sure, I bought mine from here: http://www.beautyhairproducts.net/i...ment/aphrodite-professional-steamer/p_53.html Try not to baulk too much at the price! Just think it's for your hair!
They also sell it at pak cosmetics in Finsbury Park, so if you drive you can just pop in and pick it up. Phone first and check that they have one in stock though.
Well you know - it was the money that I was spending at the stylist that weighed it up for me. Let's see, the steamer cost me £300, previously I was spending £15 a week for one treatment. I bought the steamer in September, so it paid for itself a long time ago, particularly because I steam twice a week now.
A steamer isn't essential, but if you suffer from chronically dry hair like I did then the steam really will sort the problem out - and quickly too. However, it's by no means essential of course, and you can still get healthy hair without purchasing one.

I can't wait to get home and rev him up. I'm in twists right now, can I still use him?
I have a silly question. If you are using the steamer to condition your hair, do you put on a plastic cap when your under it or it doesn't matter
MY BABY HAS ARRIVED. HIS NAME IS RICO
Someone let me know!
Congratulations and welcome to the club!
I don't see why you can't use it while you've got twists. You'll obviously need to slap the conditioner on evenly to ensure you get good coverage, and away you go.
Let us know what you think!
