There have always been women who are not satisfied with their hair at times including me. It might be to straight, to curly, to oily, to dry, to thin, or to thick, but thank goodness for the beauty market and the products they furnish us ladies with.
For those of us who always wished we had straight hair, the market has always had some sort of product to help us out whether it was a chemical solution called a relaxer or a tool called a flat iron. Some folks will tell you to just brush it until it dries or put the hair up in giant rollers the size of a soda can!
Today we will be helping the ladies out that want to have a straight hair style and hopefully find the right tool to accomplish this task. One of the best tools on the market today is the Steam Hair Straightener so let’s look at this product.
Who Can Use a Steam Hair Straightener?
The Steam Hair Straightener products that I have reviewed all say that it can be used on all types of hair. This would include, fine, thin, color-treated, naturally curly, thick hair and even on permanently waved hair.
The key to using this product on all types of hair is to shampoo, condition and dry the hair. Next, use a heat protectant; some of the Steam straighteners come with or will recommend products that you need to use for the best results.
If you have dry hair and usually put a serum or oil in your hair before styling, it’s okay to do so with this tool. Never put the oil in with the water in the steam straightener, this will cause the product to mal-function.
How Will the Steam Straightener Leave My Hair?
I know it sounds sort of scary, having steam comes out of this tool and now you’re going to pull it through your hair! Relax, it’s simple to do. You fill the reservoir with water, turn it on and wait until the tool reaches the proper temperature. Take a section of hair and starting at the scalp, pull the tool through the hair until you reach the ends. It takes a constant motion, but you will catch on easily.
The steam moisturizes and adds gloss and shine as you draw it along the section of hair. You are adding negative ions that will get rid of the dreaded frizzes. End results, smooth, slick, and straight hair that isn’t all dried out.
Why Should I Use a Steam Hair Straightener?
Unlike plain flat irons that just produce heat, the steam straightener adds moisture to your hair instead of taking the moisture out. Most steam straightener use a ceramic heating plate which is famous for producing even and steady heat, so you never have to deal with hot spots from the flat iron.
All this adds up to leaving you will a healthy head of hair after the straightening process. The straightening procedure can take you from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
Although the Stream Hair Straightener filled with water is heavier than a plain flat iron, the end results will have you jumping for joy. Finally, you have that thick, curly, frizzy mess under control with a shine and softness that you have always wanted. Give it a try, definitely it is worth the minimal cost of the product and the time you spend getting that much wanted head of straight hair.
