Those of you who steam, how often do you do it? Do you put any product in it before or after the session.?
Did you notice increased health and/or faster growth? Any cons? Thanks!

It speeds up the deep conditioning process for me. I steam my hair almost every time I deep condition. It makes my hair noticeably softer.

I have it. The water seeps thru your hair and burns the scalp, I didn't see any benefits. It's designed very poorly, all my hair couldn't fit smh

I steam every two weeks. And like someone above said its like an added process to my deep condition treatment. I notice my hair is softer. And for me when i finish steaming whatever product I used its like my hair soaks it up while under a steamer. And personally for me when I went a month or so without using my steamer I Noticed a big difference in my hair. So now I make sure to stick to my every two weeks routine. I love it.

I have a steamer. I fund myself using my heated conditioning cap more often for dc'ing because I'm lazy.

I don't honestly know if I notice a huge difference. I try to do it like once a month though.

I've wanted a hair steamer for the longest, i'm just afraid of any long term damage. steam on my hair sounds like split ends. a lot of products the natural community has hyped ended up destroying my hair or being highly overrated Has anyone every notice any damage?

I'm sure it's much like the steaming portion of a facial. It's supposed to "open" your pores to help whatever treatment you're putting on your face (or scalp) penetrate easily.

I had my hair steamed at an Egyptian hair salon. I loved the results in general but I just don't know if it was because of the steam itself because my hair looked and felt the same way it always does when I get it done "professionally". The guy that blow dried my hair sucked though. He did a good job but he was rough as hell and I wanted to punch the crap out of him. To be fair, I guess I understood his frustration. It was extremely early, cold, and I have a lot of hair. He was scrunching his face up and mumbling in his native tongue...deep heavy sighs lol

Silly question but, is a hot shower as effective? My water gets REALLY hot.

i no longer do it but i had purchased that overpriced steamer from amazon i forgot the name of. it wasn't the heutiful, some other brand. in the beginning, like, the first couple of uses, it seemed to hydrate my hair. i would sit under it with nothing but conditioner for like thirty minutes or 45 or so. but after those initial times it started drying out my hair, especially in the center, so that was when the thing had to go. i'm not sure what happened. to be fair, it wasn't like my hair was prone to dryness in the first place, at that time. so i guess i didn't need it, but i was hoping it would do a little "extra" to treat my hair. so much for that

I use the 'hair therapy wrap' steaming cap whenever I do a DC (I use Bekura DC's only) and I love how my hair feels after. There is definitely a big difference I noticed between doing the DC without my steaming cap and with it. I love that steaming cap.

I steam my hair twice a week and love it. It took my moisture levels from good to great. The more moisturized my hair is, the less it breaks and more it grows. I use a hooded steamer I purchased from lclbeauty.com. the handheld models don't seem very effective IMO.

[MENTION=169419]thatyorubagirl[/MENTION] This is what I use to steam my hair. I usually steam with coconut oil as a pre-poo then shampoo and deep condition with heat bonnet. The Q-Redew is very different from the huetiful in that it's handheld so you target certain sections of your hair and that it only lasts for around 5 minutes. I see some folks steaming for thirty minutes and you can do that with the q redew but you'd have to keep filling the tank. For me, 5 minutes is pretty good.

You can also use it to refresh curly styles, which is nice. And if you want you could hold it near your face and do a facial. THe steam is very hot if you are touching where the steam comes out but it's not burning hot on your head or face.
