Why You May Want To Start Using A Hair Steamer On Your Curls And Coils
By DINNIAH BARTHOLOMEW
Since moisture is the key to healthy curls and coils, it’s important to have a trusty implement that can help your hair stay moisturized all year round. One solution to chronically dry hair could be a hair steamer—a hairstylist's best-kept secret.
According to “curl guru” Haiya Eliza, “[Steam] helps open the cuticle of the hair so that the conditioner penetrates deeper.” Use the steamer for five minutes after washing your hair, then apply a good deep conditioner and steam for another 15 minutes before rinsing it out.
For people with conditions like dandruff or psoriasis, the extra hydration hair steamers give to the scalp can be very beneficial. In fact, you may not only benefit from a cleaner and healthier scalp but also from an increase in collagen and blood flow, which will lay the groundwork for moisturized, bouncy, and healthy curls and coils.
