Steam hair straightener L'Oreal

Straight well-groomed hair is one of the fashion trends. Steam hair straightener L'oreal - one of the best ways to give your hair flawless smoothness.

Many girls are afraid to use hair straighteners because of how they work. Alignment occurs due to metal plates heated to high temperatures. However, modern manufacturers offer alternative methods. Their main principle is a careful attitude to curls, minimizing the harmful effects, possible overdrying and damage to the structure of the hairs. One of these innovative devices is the steam styler from the world famous brand L'Oreal.

The device called steampod is the same iron, only with steam. Hair straightening takes place here using a fundamentally new technology. Hair is not exposed to temperature effects, and the result of styling is not inferior to the results of the usual methods of processing strands. Externally, Steampod resembles a conventional rectifier. The only difference is the presence of a removable comb on the top plate of the tool and holes that release steam. The kit also includes a water tank. The comb is designed to untangle strands. This allows you to minimize the number of runs of the device through the hair and reduce the time of the entire styling.

The result of the application is the impeccable smoothness of the hair, the neutralization of "fluffiness", giving the hair a well-groomed appearance and "gloss". The device is universal. With it, you can both straighten curly and unruly hair, and curl straight strands. Light waves, expressive curls, a fashionable effect of "light mess" on the head or the mirror smoothness of a straight sheet of hair - this electrical appliance can handle any task.

Steampod has 5 temperature settings. This allows each owner of the iron to choose the option for processing the strands that suits her.

The advantages of steam ironing are indisputable:

• Safety. The harmful effect on the hair structure during styling is minimized. The continuous flow of steam prepares the strands for straightening/curling and provides reliable protection against thermal shock.
• Efficiency. The impact of steam is much more effective than thermal. Even the most naughty strands are easily transformed into a beautiful hairstyle in a minimum of time.
• Long-term saving of the result. The effect of such styling lasts longer than the result of the use of conventional irons. The hairstyle remains in perfect condition until the next hair wash (up to 3 days).
• Ease of use. Perhaps for the first time the principle of operation of the device will seem unusual to you, however, it is quite simple. The direction in which to hold the device is indicated by arrows on it. Already from the second application, you will cope with styling easily and quickly.

Steam devices also have small disadvantages:

• Nuances of water use. Such models do not allow the use of too hard water. Filling the tank from the tap is not recommended. This can lead to the rapid appearance of scale and even to the failure of the device.
• The weight. Steam irons differ from conventional irons in more impressive dimensions and greater weight. They are not very convenient to take with you on a trip, however, the amazing result from the application allows you to forgive the devices for such a nuance.
• Price. The cost of steam appliances is slightly higher than the price of thermal devices.
• Not suitable for short hair. The Steampod plates are too wide to accommodate shorter hair lengths. So steam styling is still available only to long-haired beauties and owners of medium-length curls.

Using a steam device is easy:

• First you need fill the steam generator clean, not hard water.
• It is important to remember that only dry hair can be styled with a steam iron. Before processing, they should be washed and dried thoroughly. Moisture left inside the hair, under the influence of heat, can destroy it. Moisture coming from the outside, on the contrary, “grinds” the strands, giving them a well-groomed appearance and laying them in the desired shape. The condition of dry hair before styling, by the way, applies to conventional straighteners and curling irons..

• Correctly position the device (the direction is indicated by the arrows on the plates themselves). This condition is also not accidental. For the safety of hair, it is necessary to follow the processing algorithm. First, steam enters the strands, and then heat enters. If you hold the appliance incorrectly, this sequence will be broken and your hair may be damaged.
• For best results, use small strands. Spread the sheet of hair evenly over the working surface of the device.
• In addition to the straightener itself, you will need 2 more tools. It is a revitalizing cream and a protective serum. Both products are also developed by L'Oreal and are designed for complete hair care.

Cream consumption is economical. For one styling, you will need 1-2 drops, even if you are the owner of long curls. Serum should be applied only to the ends of the strands. Some stylists also add a couple of drops of serum to the water tank.

The principle of operation of funds is simple. Under the influence of steam, the hair structure becomes more susceptible to the penetration of beneficial substances. The ceramides contained in the cream and serum penetrate inside, strengthening each hair.

The brand presents a whole collection of Steampod home styling products. This is a cream and serum for normal and sensitive hair, as well as electrical appliances that differ in design, properties and functions:

• Professional steam hair styler SteamPod New. The new version of the steam styler for professional use has improved performance. The device is equipped with five individual heating modes. The new mode, in which the device heats up to only 140 °, is suitable for styling dry, brittle and damaged strands. Anodized plates guarantee optimum pressure.

The device gently acts on the hair without damaging its structure, while maintaining lightness and natural shine. A special system of water demineralization ensures the supply of crystal clear steam. The styler allows you to create various images.

• SteamPod New 2.0 steam styler for home use. This device is designed for self-installation. The device is easy to use, has a more compact size (compared to the previous version).

And in combination with keratin-containing brand products, you can even improve the condition of the hair.

The device is also versatile. It straightens, curls, adds volume. Any of the effects is created in a matter of minutes, and the result is stored for the whole day. The new version of the home styler is presented in white, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by beautiful ladies.

Limited collections of devices are also periodically released, featuring a unique design. Recently, a hot pink flat iron and a black styler with a delicate lace pattern have been discontinued. These products remained only in a few stores, but perhaps soon the brand will delight customers with another original novelty.

Most owners of the L'Oreal steam iron call it a real miracle. It is especially liked by girls with unruly curly hair, which other straighteners do not cope with very successfully. Customers note that the device perfectly smoothes even “stubborn” strands. At the same time, after laying there is no feeling of dryness. On the contrary, the hair seems slightly moisturized, looks alive, healthy and shiny.

Hair remains perfect until the next wash. Hair does not "fluff" regardless of the weather, and even when exposed to rain, it remains absolutely straight. The shape of the strands does not change even during sleep, there are also no “creases” left from the elastic bands. The curls created by ironing are beautiful and natural. Although more often the device is used for straightening.

According to the observations of the girls, even with daily styling, the hair structure does not deteriorate. And those who previously used a conventional straightener without thermoregulation even notice an improvement in the condition of their hair. The only drawback of the customer is the bulkiness of the device. However, the numerous advantages of ironing cover this minus.
