How to Use the L’Oréal Professionnel Steampod for Breakage-Free Styling

How to Use the L’Oréal Professionnel Steampod

To get the Steampod started, I filled the built-in water tank using the provided bottle and adjusted the heat to my preferred setting. The heating options go as high as 410 degrees, but I decided to keep it on the lowest setting (350 degrees) to minimize any potential damage. Then, once the Steampod started to produce steam, I knew it was time to begin. I opted to straighten my hair — old habits die hard — so, I separated my dry hair into small sections and starting at the roots, passed the Steampod slowly down the lengths. If you were to create waves, though, you’d follow the same steps but you would wrap a section of hair around the tool and slowly rotate it.

My Experience With the L’Oréal Professionnel Steampod

If I’m being honest, I rarely ever straighten my hair anymore out of fear that I’m damaging it, but with the unique steam technology, I was hopeful that the Steampod would be able to style my hair without causing a ton of breakage. I was right. After I used it for the first time, I didn’t feel like my hair was breaking off in pieces all over the bathroom floor and my hair felt silky and smooth rather than dry and brittle. Plus, the use of steam to style dry hair without getting it wet felt like a cool science experiment. While I won’t be using it every day, I’ll be keeping the Steampod handy so I can style my hair with peace of mind next time I have a special event.
