I've never used a steamer before. Could I wrap dry hair in curlers and use the steamer to activate and set curls as they dry?

You possibly can, as long as you steam the section and immediately place it in the roller to dry.When I use this steamer my hair get very moist. I have natural kinky hair... Once my hair felt a bit dry and brittle, so I used the Q. Redew and steamed my hair in sections. After each section, I added a conditioner/ whipped Shea butter and 2 strand twist. Once the dried, my hair was soft, moisturized and defined.

i use it to loosen my hair (tightly curled) to give me bigger hair. I have since abandon using this instead now I use a floor stand steamer

You could but hair on a roller is layered. It may be better to steam the hair section, then roll so you can be sure the entire length gets steamed.

I wouldn't suggest doing so with this product. Maybe you should look into the Huetiful Hair Steamer...something you can sit under.

Hey Julieann! Honestly,I don't know. But, nothing beats a failure like a try. I use the steamer to untangle my hair ( the steamer releases my curls and tangles) and help it open up so it can accept the product( my hair is stubborn). Steam on my curls made them looser and gave them moisture. But that's how my hair reacts. Try this. Put a roller in your (dry) hair overnight. In the morning, turn on the shower and let the steam fill the room. Dont let it get wet. After you shower, let your hair dry air dry and take out the roller and that will tell you how your hair reacts to steam. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I ve been using about once a week with my Deep conditioning treatments. It still works wonderfully. I have not had to use the back up that I purchased yet. A steamer is device that provides heat in the form of steam to help with better penetration of the treatment into the hair cortex. My hair properties like the hair therapy wrap better. If you are familiar with hair properties: I have high porosity hair ( which means my hair cuticles are slightly raised making my hair very vulnerable to tears and damage), coarse, natural African hair. Because I take excellent care of my hair, it is healthy and growing nicely. Hope it works for you.

YES! I like to put it in my wet hair, then curl some strands around a finger for some defined ringlets. One reason I love this product is how well it performs 2nd day with very little frizz! I sometimes wet the outside of the hair a bit with my fingertips, then put a tiny amount on the damp area. Presto- easy second day!

you might be able to. The hair is heat resistant. Some of the curls came out and I re-curled them and it worked fine. The hair is so heavy that eventually they kinda of straighten out into waves

Hi there, I got a request to answer your question from Amazon.com. It's important to not leave the roller on the steam setter base for longer than 20 seconds otherwise, the rollers get too saturated with moisture. If that happens, get another roller and start over. And before you start to roll your hair with a roller, shake the roller with a couple of long swipes downward to release an overabundance of water from the roller. If you leave the roller on the steam setter less than 15 seconds, swiping the roller is usually Not necessary.

Hi, the curlers give off only heat, no water or steam is emitted. Hope this helps.

yes that is enough because the steam rollers curl your hair quickly. I have fine hair and as fast as I put them all in I remove them. It depends on your hair thickness and how much time you have. Carole

Yes you can get waves, experiment by twirling the hair before rolling onto the curler loosely.

Just saw this, did you try it? I use steam rollers and usually put hairspray or shine spray on afterwards. I will use a styling product sometimes, like a mouse or gel...stuff you put on wet hair, but not anything that goes on dry hair before rolling. It just seemed to me that the dry application stuff would sort of reactivate with the steam and end up on the rollers instead of my hair. just wondered if you tried it either way.

The set comes with some very large rollers which would work good for your length of hair. As far as drying time, I usually wait until they are cool to touch about 10 minutes for a good set. I also use mouse or a heat activated product on my hair before curling as my hair is super straight. Good Luck!

If you use a curling iron on wet hair, then I guess this could be used the same way. However, I think that it would take a LONG time to dry the hair. There is not a blower in this tool. I dry my hair, apply a little bit of mousse, and use the brush iron. This is very much like a curling iron.

Yes you can use under hair dryer. You can finger comb it out and separate the curls. It depends on your hair texture on whether you can brush it out. I have curly hair, so I finger comb mine to prevent frizz

I just put it on when my hair is damp, comb it through and go from there. I do not use a hair dryer or curling iron, so I'm can't tell you how it works with them.

I love these rollers. I have been using versions of them for years. Basically you have to let the roller steam until it is warm and slightly damp. You can only do one at a time. However, once you get into a rhythm it doesn't take longer than traditional heat roller. I steam, take of the roller and put another one on the steamer while I roll my hair with the first. My hair is midback so the roller doesn't get too damp by leaving it on while I roll. If you have shorter hair, you probably will just want to leave the rollers on for less time. The ionic steam is SO GENTLE on the hair. And the shine is sensational. Plus, the curl lasts longer than with traditional heat rollers. I love these rollers.

The package recommendations suggest you leave the product on for about an hour. That being said, depending upon your hair type, adding steam "may" increase the pentration of the product. Try the product with your steamer and see what happens. I use a regular bonnet hair dryer and have found this product works extremely well with or without the use of a hair dryer. Overall, it is an excellent conditioner.

I don't like the clips or the curlers. I bought Velcro curlers and place one on the steamer, and place a plastic lid on top of the curler. I leave it on the steamer for a minute and then it's ready to put in your hair. It works well. Too bad you can't just buy the steamer.

That's a valid question: However, whenever I am trying to maintain my curls overnight, I pull all my hair up into a bun and wrap the bottom with a silk wrap. Of course you will need to fluff it once you get into your daily routine, in the morning. Then you would use the Pillow Soft Curls to bring your curl pattern back. Assuming you have naturally curly hair. If not, this will not work for you without the help of flexirods or some other curling tool. Hope this helps.
