Now, I’ve heard of a hooded dryer and I’ve heard of a hair steamer. You know what I have not heard of? A hooded hair steamer! Pardon my ignorance as I think I know a tad bit about hair, but I was blown away when I saw Chriistiina’s question on the Curly Q&A board.
Question
Does anyone know a good hooded hair steamer?
Answer
Hair steaming is a true game-changer that many curlies, coilies, and wavies are beginning to swear by. You hear pro-steamers claiming hair is more elastic, less prone to breakage, shedding, and dryness. Hair steaming is exactly as it sounds. You are adding moisture to the hair in the form of moist heat. From hand-held steamers to hooded steamers to standing in a steamy shower, there are a few ways to add the benefit of heat and moisture to stave off dryness and breakage. Many curlies already know and love the Q-Redew hand-held steamer (me included”>, but if that is not the option you prefer then we have three hooded steamers that may peak your moisture-obsessed interest.
