You're so right. The hooded hair dryer has changed my low porosity hair for the better! I think I've finally achieved maximum hydration. I always say this but, you are one of the best educational sources for low porosity hair maintenance.👌❤

Thank you for the tips, been surfing the net to buy a hair steamer for deep conditioning. Let me keep watching.

I really appreciate your comprehensive reviews! As you said, everyone's hair is different. I noticed a great improvement in my hair using a hooded steamer vs a hooded dryer. I know that porosity exists on a spectrum and perhaps my hair really needs that steam to maximize the benefits of a deep conditioner. It really pays to know your own hair and what it needs.

I liked the steamer it but I only do 5 - 10 minutes once a week. & I add essential oils to the water. My hair texture has definitely improved due to steaming.

FYI: The finer/straighter your natural hair is, your experience using any tools is WILL BE DIFFERENT from AA hair. My 4C hair loves direct moisture because it needs it. Been using steamer for 10 yrs+.

Thank you young lady for the info about the hair steamer!

Thanks for this video!! I have both a q redew, as well as a regular clothes steamer that I use, and a hooded dryer. I can definitely say the hooded dryer is my fav!! Idk why I ever stopped using it for so long. I didn’t like the q redew much at all, because like you said, I felt like my hair wasn’t changing much. With the hooded dryer in combo with homemade hair masks like banana, honey, & oil, my hair is soo much more moisturized and it’s been great!

Wow, so glad I didn't waste my money. I'll use the hooded dryer I already have. Thank you

Love your channel. You look great. I use a soft bonnet hair dryer for 45 minutes. When I deep condition. Its so worth it. Once a week. I have noticed a big difference in my hair. So manageable. I love that you are so passionate about the health of the hair. Always excited to see your videos. 😁❤

I kid you not, I literally just added a steamer to my basket to purchase online and your video comes up 😲😂. Thank you so much for the thorough review. All the other reviews I saw just say it's great for low porosity hair 🤔. You've saved me some coins 🤗

This was soooooo helpful!! Thank you!

I use them all, but the steamer works best for my low porosity hair. I use henna which adds a layer of iron (Coating) and the steamer gets that moisture in quick. Hooded dryer I have to sit under for at least 45 minutes. As always every head of hair is different.

Thanks for the review. I have seen all of those products and was wondering about them. I have a heated steam cap and I think that I will just use that

Good to know because I was going to buy both of those and now I won’t. I’ll just stick to my heat cap. Thank you!!!!

This was really helpful, thank you

As far as using the “short” hair steamer, I sat backwards in order to get it to steam my hair 360*degrees. Just Face the back of the hair steamer, highly recommending a hair sweat band but with cotton (so the heat won’t pierce your forehead or ears too much lol). It’s the best position as far as comfort too, because I still get to multitask & be able to rest my arms on the counter. Hope this helps. 😏

I would love to see your hair's progression over time from steaming to not steaming and from deep conditioning with the hooded dryer from before using it to after.

Yes, I agree.I had a streamer with a stand,The bottom of my hair never got enough steam.I sold it on eBay.Then I bought a Q redew,not for me.I like the hooded dryer the best multi uses! Win,win!

Thank you so much. I was thinking about getting a hair steamer because it's dry. I have a hooded dryer.

Seems like it would be better for 4c hair that is always dry

Which hooded dryer do you use? Can you please recommend one

Thank you for the tips ! And you are so pretty!

THANK YOU for this video!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I purchased the hooded steamer based on your review of it from that video. I have only used it a few times for added moisture.

I have natural curly/wavy hair and when I deep condition I use a plastic shower cap then attach the hood to my blow dryer & there's never been an issue. If you put on low heat your hair won't get burnt.

Great review, thank you

I want to hear your thoughts on thermal cap and how it affects hair elasticity

Thank you for sharing your experiences. This was very helpful.

This was definitely helpful. Won’t waste my money

I use a steamer (Q-Redew) to kick off my prepoo. I prepoo with oil. I steam first (in sections) in order to open up the cuticles on my low porosity strands. I then apply olive oil (my favorite prepoo oil) to each section immediately after steaming. Next I put on a plastic cap and go on about my day until I actually shampoo my strands 8 to 9 hours later. My hair loves this and is thriving. I never use my steamer to deep condition my hair. I only use it with oils for prepoo.

I looove your arms 💖💖💖 so cute!

Is it better a hooded dryer or hooded steamer to do oil and hair treatment ? Thanks I am lost 🌈

Great video!! Keep them coming! BTW. You literally remind me of an even prettier black combination of Ginger & Mary Ann from an old show called Gilligan's Island. SO pretty!!😍😍😍😍😎👊🏽

Please 🙏 I need to save my curls and want to do oil treatment and mask using a hot hooded hair dryer like you suggest, I don't know what to choose ... You have a link which one to buy please ? Does it do steam or it is a dryer to dry your hair ? Sorry I am french 😉Thanks 😎

I agree with EVERY word you said!

Where can I buy a hooded dryer?

So glad i watched this before i went and spent a lot of money on a steamer

You just saved me money thank youuu

Thank you!!! You just saved me some money!!!❤

I love when My Mom friend who does my hair when I go to her steams my hair love how it opens up the scalp and help with moisture when I sit under the hooded dry when my hair was was conditon deep condition itcand it was the best for my highprosity hair that lacks moisture since 2015 I'm happy I was recommended to your channel 👍❤

Which hair steamer is best for hair

I love this channel.

I love my steamer it has worked wonders for my hair

Agree with u and Believe me a good hair treatment.no need to put hair steamer any more.

What do you think of Hot Heads? (Thermal heating cap) I got one because its supposedly good for deep conditioner plus it’s portable...

I love my steamer. I think it’s a once a month type of thing.

Do you leave the holes at the top of the steamer hood open or closed to keep the steam in?

Thank you sis

I've used conditioning caps but like hooded hair dryer it's dry heat s f put put in a plastic cap so your hair won't get a mic of tht be fits compared to a salon stand steamer which are the best ones. The alternatives she posts here are not the same. I'm looking to buy a salon stand steamer

Use an ironing board as a table and set it to the height you need. If your chair has a back, turn the chair sideways. You can set the ironing board against the wall if you want to lean back against the ironing board.

Notification gang gang💁💃🙌🤗👌😘

Hi lyde thank you so much 😘😍👍

You don't need to use the Q Redew for 30 mins! And you should have been sticking it under a plastic cap and trapping the steam in there .

Agreed. The Q redew was not helpful. I used it once and it was so inconvenient that I haven't touched it in years.

Do you ever roller set?

Thank you for this video! My hair/scalp has been dry ever since i stopped straightening (I.e. using heat). Gonna get a hooded dryer this week!

i just recently ordered a flat iron steamer from ali express. I hope it gives me good results

I love it however I only use it once a month for the reason you stated changing ones hair strands

Hair dryer is dry heat not moist heat. I used a kettle with lid off did years but you have to be careful if you do so. Buy a professional hooded steamer that is better

Well I was too broke for a steamer anyway lol...so I do the hot towel method (hot damp turbie twist & two plastic bags/caps) under my hooded dryer when deep conditioning. My hair practically *eats* the conditioner with this! 😂😂😂 I also think limited use of oils has helped my hair absorb moisture better (and for whatever reason my hair didn't like cold rinsing). Low porosity hair is so tricky.😥 Btw you & your hair are gorgeous!😍😘💕

Nice

People use this product for to long its that simple. If you don't have a permit setup then it will be a slight annoyance putting it away and taking it out but setup is simple enough.

Here’s a trick that will cost you nothing if you already own the following things: your favorite deep conditioning treatment, a hair clip, a plastic disposable or reusable deep containing or color cap, a stool, a small box (empty but sealed shut to strengthen it, maybe from an old delivery), a small space heater and a chair. Set your stool behind your chair, position the space heater to the height of your head using the small box (horizontally or vertically, depending on your height while sitting) on the stool. Put your deep conditioning treatment in your hair, set the bulk of your hair at the back of your head in a loose, low bun. Not tightly wound, but a very loose and wide bun, so that the heat can really get to all strands in that bun. Put your plastic cap on and sit in the chair with your back (and your low bun) facing directly at the space heater. Because the length is the driest most damaged part of our hair, that’s were we need the most help. Set the space heater on the absolute LOWEST HEAT SETTING so that it’s not too hot but only warming your tresses. And relax. Your head creates lots of heat already, you’re not gonna need a whole lot on top or on the sides when it’s all pulled back. But if you wanted to ensure all strands, on both sides and the top are getting some heat all you have to do is turn your body to position the heat direction to your targeted areas, you can even sit facing the heater with your head down so that the heat is directed at the top of your head. You can’t reposition a professional drying hood in the same way, this is by far more versatile than a traditional professional standing dryer. And with the cap holding the deep conditioner in, it’s steaming itself in there inside that cap when applying liquid with heat applied. No need for a professional steamer either with this DIY rigged system. This costs NOTHING and works just as well as a professional dryer, as there is no special heat coming out of those things but warm air, no different that what a space heater generates. Just please make sure it’s set on LOW. It might be tempting to turn it up, but we all know high heat damages hair. Please refrain from turning the heater up, that low air from the lowest heat setting after only a few minutes accumulates and warms up the hair inside your cap just perfectly. At the end, turn it on fan only , no heat, and sit for a few more minutes. That helps cool your hair down and locks in that moisture from the deep conditioning treatment, really helping you achieve the greatest benefits. I’ve been doing this for years to not only deep condition for the greatest benefits but to seal in my color when I dye it as well for maximum color pay off. Also use it when I do an Olaplex treatment. I really see and feel the benefits of that more than I do without applying heat. Good luck ladies! ♥️

I just shower with out a shower cap. The steam from the shower does the same thing

👍😊

Yea I'm about to give my hooded steamer away. I have MUCH BETTER results placing a plastic cap over my head and taking a steam shower or bath. My hair comes out stretched, soft & manageable.

I have the one on wheels and it burns my scalp!

I like you. So pretty and we'll spoken

I'm so sorry you dislike hair steamers. For me, i use mine 2 times a week the vicarko steamer hat has low and high settings which locks in moisture when the argan oil, fenugreek, blackseed oil mixed in Giovanni hair reconstructor silky conditioner. Gurl....my hair is growing like weeds...lol

Water is my hair enemy!

You have to watch you dont over water your hair. That will damage ur strands as well

30 min is too long. 15 to 20

I feel like the steamer may have damaged my daughters hair the first time I used it so never again

Use a face steamer. Its smaller and way easier. But im sure yall know that by now.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ ‭ Locs are biblical, spiritual, and lovely. I could say more, but be inspired…

No one should seat in a steamer for more than 10-15 mins

Nice
