Hi,
My name is Miriam, I’m a mixed race woman and I have a very dry hair.
I just bought a hair steamer for my personal use and I want to know:
1 – How many times a week should I use it?
2- When I use it, should I put intensive treatment mascara, hot oil or nothing in my hair?
3 – Should I wear a shower cap, or wrap my hair with foil or nothing?
Thank you very much for taking your time to read and answer my question.
All the best,
Miriam.

Hair steamers are used to add moisture into the hair. Shampoo your hair and then apply a deep conditioning treatment. After that, place a plastic cap over your head and sit under the steamer for 20 to 30 minutes. If your hair is dry or damaged, you can use the hair steamer twice a week to maintain a healthy moisture level in your hair.

Sweetheart:

You do not use a plastic cap with a hair steamer, how will the steam get to the hair. I have a steamer and have had my hair steamed professionally and no plastic cap is used. Just use a deep conditioner and sit w/o a cap for 15-30 min depending on the condition of your hair.

All the best

A plastic cap or plastic shower cap can be used when steaming the hair. This will help lock in additional moisture and replenish the hair. It's not nice to abuse the rating system.

Hi, I completly agree with you regarding steam treatments as I am a fully qualified hairstylist therefore I know that you must use plastic steam caps to lock in the moisture and benefit from the treatment. Thank you.
