The Budget Beauty - Episode 15

The Hair Steamer

I went natural January 1, 2012.  My biggest issue with my hair was the fact that it was dry.  It was so dry that it made crunchy sounds.  That led me on a journey to find products that would solve this and would be healthy for my hair.  I had heard about hair steamers from a colleague of mine several years ago.  I asked how did her clients like it.  She stated that they loved it.  I went on a search for a hair steamer but it got put on the back burner. 

A year or so ago, my cousin, Vasha, told us that she had gotten a hair steamer and was raving about it.  Again, I went on the hunt for one and yet again it got put on the back burner.  So after watching many youtube videos and reading such great reviews about hair steamers, I decided to buy myself one as a Christmas present. 

I purchased it...use it..LOVE IT!!!  I think the hair steamer was the turning point in my healthy hair care regimen.  I started back using conditioners that worked for me in the past.  The first was Nexxus Humectress and Humecta-Sil by Nairobi.  Two great products that I love dearly.  Also, I try to use natural shampoos that are sulfate, paraben and mineral oil free.

Benefits of the Hair Steamer:

  • Increased scalp circulation, which aids hair growth,

  • Deep conditioners penetrate hair faster and 5 times better,

  • Reduces dryness and breakage,

  • Reduces Tangles,

  • Makes the hair softer and reduces tangling.

      Many think natural styles don't require upkeep and as you know that couldn't be further from the truth. You are a beautiful woman and I'm so proud of you for being proactive in being the best you. The hair steamer sounds like a great tool for keeping your natural do healhy and vibrant. Any suggestions on steaming air for indiviuals that lack the space to store a hair steamer or just don't don't want to shell out the dollars for purchasing one (not that its not worth every penny but some like me are on a budget, not to mention I don't wear my hair natural ofen enough to make the investment).

        If a hair steamer is not in your budget, you can use the processing caps that can be found at your local BSS. A hot towel wrapped around your head in conjunction with the plastic bag will add a little extra heat.

      I don't have the money to buy a steamer right now but I need to condition my hair today so it will be a plastic cap and a dryer. Thanks for the reminder and I'm a new follower.
