I'm a Steam Girl!...My Steamer Regimen


"Love people, not things and use things not people"...I love that mantra and apply it to so many parts of my life...but my new hair steamer is the exception!

 I love this material thing and I'm going to use it until it starts blowing smoke instead of steam. Seriously, my research has not found anyone natural or relaxed who doesn't love steaming her hair. I'm sitting under the LCL Beauty Professional Hair Steamer as I type...seemed fitting. I purchased from LCL Beauty (formally Salons R Us) via EBay. I'm an avid EBay shopper who takes customer reviews seriously and LCL has received 100% reviews.

This is my second treatment in 2 weeks.  I just returned from a fabulous Bahamas get away with friends and my hair is dry beyond dry.  The Caribbean sun mixed with salt water, chlorine and sand just proved too much for my tresses and I had to take action on my last day off before returning to work.


My steamer regimen:

  • In the shower, washed with Hair One (Sally's version of Wen)
  • Applied Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose Conditioner (AOHSRC, ) exited shower,  then steamed for 40 minutes
  • Re-entered shower, applied more AOHSRC and  sectioned hair in 4 twists
  • Detangled each twist while under warm water then rinsed with cool water
  • Applied Giovanni  Leave-in , shea  butter  then bunned

Result:  
My hair is soft, feels very moisturized and detangling was easy-breezy.  I plan to steam weekly and then tweak my regimen if needed- I'll keep you posted.

Are you a steam girl? Let us know....
