Steam treatments are beneficial for all hair types, especially dry or damaged hair. A deep conditioning steam treatment can be done at home, with just a few items around the house.Things Youll Need:Moisturizing shampoo Moisturizing deep conditioner Turban towel Large microwavable bowl Rubber gloves Water Hooded or bonnet dryer Wide-tooth comb Detangling brush Elastic hairbands Plastic shower cap Hair towel Leave in conditioner Step 1:Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo. Gently remove excess water from your hair with a towel. Step 2:Saturate your hair with conditioner, starting from the ends. Lightly run your fingers through your hair as youre applying the conditioner. Step 3:Part your hair down the middle, making two sections. Secure one section with an elastic band. Take the free section, and gently detangle with a comb or brush, starting from the ends. Avoid ripping through the hair, causing damage. Do both sections. Step 4:Fill a bowl with water, and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes, or until simmering. Step 5:Remove the bowl from the microwave. Cover your hands with gloves for protection, and dunk the turban towel into the bowl, drenching it. Step 6:Squeeze the excess water out of the turban towel, and put it on your head. Immediately place the shower cap over the turban towel. Step 7:Remove the gloves, and drape a towel over your shoulders and neck, to absorb any water leakage. Sit under the dryer for 15 to 45 minutes. Step 8:Rinse the conditioner out of your hair with cool water, to close the cuticles. Step 9:Dry your hair with a towel, until slightly damp. Apply a leave in conditioner, and style as usual. Tips:- Allow your hair to air-dry for maximum conditioning benefits. – Do a deep conditioning steam treatment twice a month for shiny, healthy hair.
