Steam Baby Steam Through 2013

I thought you were using the Huetiful (Table top) Steamer?

I thought I someone post a while back they had problems with the Huetiful reaching the back of their head?

IDareT'sHair yes I do have the tabletop HHS(Duh, on me ). If I only had hair at the top of my head, it would be fine erplexed I think I want the one you have. It looks like the hood tilts, so that all hair can be reached. I think I will look into getting one after we moved into a house. That way it can be in my beauty room

@cutenss

I read several posts where some posters (not all) said the Huetiful (or Table Top versions) does not reach the back of their head.

I do like that Huetiful Deep Conditioner. It's pricey though, for such a small jar.

Yeah, smart move waiting, because that thing does take up space. Which has been one of the complaints about owning that model.

However, I don't hear as many space complaints on the Steamer to the right of that Page I posted: (the one that uses Tap Water).

Mine is Distilled Water only. I love mine and I'll make space for it!

ETA: Mine has a 60 minute timer and some of the others only have 30 minutes.

NJoy, I don't think you can go wrong with either. To answer your question the neck is metal. It cost $188.00. I purchased a 3 year warranty for another $24.00. Total price including tax was $237.00. It is only available on line for home delivery. I just checked the website and pasted the link today. It says they are out of stock right now.

@Phonix14, you can steam with whatever product you would DC with.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Rozlewis Very nice. I see it "Requires" Distilled water as well.

 

[Rozlewis]

IDareT'sHair, yes I forgot to mention that it does require distilled water. Also, it tilts to reach the back of the neck. I think someone asked that question and I forgot to answer. It is a dream. Downside is it takes up some space. I keep my on the stand since I use it 2 x per week. It is just convenient for me to leave it assembled instead of storing it but it can be stored as well.

I totally agree, since both are Professional Salon Steamers, you can't go wrong with either.

Oh wow! A metal neck sounds perfect. When I searched for it on Sam's site, it didn't even find a result. Thanks for sharing. Great info!


Regarding using distilled water, is it true that you can use tap that has been run through a Brita filter?

 

[Nichelle_jb]

1. How often you will steam? During the Winter, I will steam at least twice a week but will cut back to once a week when it warms up.

2. What method are you using to steam? LCL Beauty Hair Steamer.

3. What products will you steam with? I *always* steam with some kind of oil and sometimes I add a deep conditioner too.

My favorite deep conditioners are (in no particular order): Bee Mine Deep Conditioner, Karen Body Beauty Luscious Locks Mask, MyHoneychild Molasses Deep Conditioner and Brown Butter Beauty Deep Conditioner.
The oils that I use to steam with are (in no particular order): Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Grapeseed Oil.

NJoy, I'm not sure about the filtered water but my gut says to use the distilled water as instructed. I have had other appliances such as my Keurig that I used filtered water with and my Keurig broke within a matter of months. I think the filtered water versus the spring or distilled water (can't remember which one) had something to do with it. The lesson I learned from that experience is to use what they say.

IDareT'sHair, have you had any experience with the distilled versus filtered water in your steamer?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Rozlewis

I wouldn't chance it using Tap.

I heard other Steamers try it and the Mineral Deposits Rusted out their Units.

I always use Distilled. I try to pick up a Gallon whenever I go to the Grocery.

 

[Coffee]

1. How often you will steam? 2 x per week

2. What method are you using to steam? Stand up steamer

3. What products will you steam with? various conditioners


I only use distilled water. I clean my steamer every 2-3 months with white vinegar/distilled water

 

[Rozlewis]

I am steaming right now for 40 minutes using my Mizani Fulfyl conditioner with a little peppermint and rosemary oil. I have a Christmas party to go to tonight.

 

[Nix08]

Getting a second steam in, in as many days...prepping my hair for a relaxer tu next week.

 

[Nix08]

Getting a third steam in this weekend of DC tea and Aobc...I can't remember when last if ever I had time to steam Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

[Rozlewis]

Nix08, impressive!! Do you co-wash before you steam? If not, what is your regime?

Between the dry heat inside the house and the cold air outside our hair is depleted of moisture so steaming helps to re-moisturize hair. I have tried everything but I find that steaming at least once (but twice or more) a week is effective. Your hair is thanking you!!

Happy Steaming!!!

 

[Nix08]

Rozlewis once I get out of the shower I'm done so any and all dc's including steamed ones are done on 'dry/dirty' hair. I then cowash (which includes an oil/ coffee/tea mid wash rinse and a final leave in rinse of tea and avj).

 

[Rozlewis]

Nix08, thanks for sharing. I will have to try this.
