Price: $116.95
Product Description:
Restores moisture to your dry hair up to 5x better than the leading deep conditioner
Retains length and strengthens hair by replenishing moisture lost to relaxers or heat straightening.
Significantly reduces breakage and split ends
Includes a complimentary Spa Facial Steamer
Steaming naturally infuses hydration deep into each hair strand to strengthen, prevent breakage, and retain length.
How it works:
Typically, conditioners set on top of your hair strands and are washed away before penetrating deep into each hair strand.
However, steam lifts the hair cuticle layers (shingle like protective layers) to allow for the conditioner to deeply penetrate.
While the cuticle layers are lifted, the steam provides need hydration along with the conditioner in each hair strand.
REVIEW
This review was made by: Naturally Nicky
"You can use whatever deep conditioner you like on freshly clean hair and then sit up under the steamer for about 20 minutes. Most ladies either are texting or reading a magazine while under the steamer. You will need a towel because the mist will cause droplets of water to run down your face. The steamer will let you know when you are finished. It is as simple as 123. My hair is so much easier to manage and since using this steamer my hair has a nice shine to it! My friends are always telling me how soft my hair is and I attribute it to the Huetiful.
The Huetiful is worth every penny of my money spent. Since using this steamer during my one year natural hair journey, I have had no moisture issues. I am now going into my three year natural hair journey and still no issues. This is a great investment for happy hair!!!"

REVIEW
A blogger  has made the following observation/review of this product:
"This was definitely a treat indeed when I received it in the mail. Assembly only took 5 minutes and another 3 minutes for the water to heat up for the steam. My hair did feel moisturized after use, not necessarily more than normal, but with continued use I did see changes. There are a couple of things I did not like though. One, the nape of my hair is not affected by the steam at all (hair was pulled up in bun). The steam was directed mostly toward the front. Also the steam only last 15 minutes, which is not completely a bad thing but the time goes by so fast. Ironically, this unit is nearly identical to the Huetiful Hair Steamer. Come to find out, these products are the exact same thing. Trademark rights come from China so with the Huetiful Steamer, you're basically paying for the "brand name". I purchased my steamer for $71.99 with a discount code: 10MOREBF from Amazon. So go ahead and check it out. This is a great alternative if you are looking to save a few bucks on a hair steamer."
Gold N' Hot Professional Conditioning Heat Cap

* Gentle heat helps activate conditioners
* Assists in restoring damaged hair

This option is very popular. However, it does not produce as much steam but leaves your hair soft, moisturized, and detangled. The added attraction to this model is that it is portable and easily and readily stored.
My Opinion!
I will not be jumping on the bandwagon to purchase a steamer! Why, you ask? It's been a good two years since the initial trend, by naturals to steam. My reasoning for the price of steamers to still be highly priced. My second reason is because I've been facilitating my need for moisture the old fashioned way! LOL!
My Routine:
I am primarily a wash n' go natural. My hair is 3c/4a and is coily, coily, and curly. Styling twists are a waste of time because my hair reverts back to its natural state as the day wears on.
I moisturize my hair with a leave-in and water, loosely twist hair or band with a loose elastic tie. Cover hair with a plastic cap and off to sleep I go. This allows me the benefit of steaming my hair throughout the night without having soaking wet hair in the morning! When I wake up, I take off the plastic cap, shake, and allow hair to dry before leaving the house.
If hair my scalp feels too wet, I'll sit under my hooded dryer for 10 - 15 minutes and I'm out the door! A fresh wash n' go every morning!
If you want the benefits of steaming and can tolerate spending a little more time and a lot less money, I have the following alternatives for you!
Mist your hair and cover your tresses with a plastic cap and sit under a dryer for 15 - 20 minutes!
Microwave a soaking wet Tee Shirt or Towel for approximately 2 minutes. Then wrap your hair with it and cover with a plastic bag.
My favorite - Go Sauna! After a good workout at the gym, condition your tresses, cover with a plastic cap and towel and enjoy the benefit of generated steam!
There you have it my naturalista friends! Ready, set, full steam ahead! Use your favorite method or Steamer to steer your way into a world of softer, luxurious, and moisturized curls!
Leave me your comments, favorite steaming method, question, and/or review below!
Until next time,
Happy Curls to You!
