Wayyy children chill everythings done differently as long as the out come is the same, I do a 9 section perm by doing middle up then the sides - still its effective, maybe Miriam can try both any see what one she prefers - cap or not OR go to her local hairdressers and ask for a second opinion :)

The Salon I go to they put about four big holes in the plastic cap when using the steamer so that you can get all the benefits

The salon I attend they use plastic caps with about 4 big holes in them. So you can get all the benefits of being under the steamer

You don't use a shower cap. The hot steam has to touch your hair in order for it to penentrate so it can give moisture.
If you needed to use shower caps then you could just sit under a hooded dryer because that is what it is made for.

Hi all
I'd like to buy a hair steamer to use at home. Can anyone give me some helpful suggestions and brands.

Thanks Vered

I personally prefer the regular hair dryer, I use the Karmin Salon Pro Professional Hair Dryer which is the best one I've used , plus it keeps my hair smooth, shiny and with volume. :D
