MIN line on the water bottle. Once the bottle has water inside, tip the water
bottle upside down and insert the silver nipple into the top of the steamer.
NOTE: Make sure the rubber gasket is inside the silver cap or the unit will not
function properly.
NOTE: There is a thermal protection circuit inside the unit that automatically
shuts off the steamer if the water level gets too low in the water bottle.
Frequent cleaning
of the hood (inside
& outside) will keep
it looking new for
years. Use only
mild soap & water
– NEVER use
abrasives or harsh
chemical cleaners.
Make sure the residue collection bottle is screwed onto the front of
the unit so condensation will be collected during operation – the
residue collection bottle should be removed and emptied after each
operation and cleaned with mild soap and water.
Remove the rubber stopper from the drain at the end of each day to
empty the water reservoir (do not lose the stopper – remember to
reinstall the stopper before the next use). Always start the day with
fresh distilled water.

Hair Steamer - Hair Treatment:
Hair Steamers are more widely used for deep hair treatments such
as scalp cleansing, protein moisturizing, color treatments and many
other treatments for healthier hair and scalp.
Hair steamers improve circulation, the steam and the heat open up
the follicles and hair shaft cuticles, allowing moisture as well as
hair treatment products to enter the hair shaft.
The steamer is then set on a cooler setting towards the end of the
hair treatment and this closes the hair shaft cuticles and locks in all
the deep hair treatment product, bringing moisture to your hair
and scalp.
Use a natural oil such as coconut or soybean oil to bring moisture
to the scalp. The oil is a very good way to lift up dead skin and
leave the scalp and hair cleansed.
Protein Conditioner:
Wet the hair using a conditioner, then sit under the steamer for 10
to 15 minutes.
Hair Steamer for Dandruff Relief:
Helps to remove dead skin and fungus build up which leads to a
cleaner and itch free scalp. Weekly hair treatments may reduce or
eliminate dandruff.
Hair Steamer – General Information:
Hair steamers bring out the natural curl and substance of your
hair and help to moisturize it, especially if hair is dry or frizzy.
Hair steamers can change the consistency of the hair, as in
changing a hairstyle from naturally straight or wavy hair to curly,
or as in a permanent, offering a deep heat conditioning that can’t
be obtained from a hot air hairstyling product such as a hair dryer
or curling iron, as those will work against hair, drying it out.
Hair steamers are good for coloring treatments, as the steamer
helps to stimulate the scalp, improve blood circulation and prevent
the breakage and loss of hair.
Hair steamers work by the using steam vapor and heat, which
opens up the cuticle and allows the color molecules to penetrate
deeply and quickly while still maintaining the integrity of the hair.
Compared to conventional over-head dryers, hair steamers allow
for shorter processing times because the color does not take as long
to penetrate the cuticle.
Hair steamers are good for stubborn colors like red, that have a
hard time getting into the hair due to their larger color molecule
makeup.
Hair steamers can also be used with conditioning and other hair
treatments. The steam will drive the product deep into the hair,
leaving it smooth and shiny.
Hair steamers are good for dandruff and itchy scalp. The steam
will infuse moisture into the scalp and the heat will kill any fungus
or bacteria that may be causing the itching.
Hair steamers can be used with all types of hair color, no need to
adjust what is already being used. The steam needs to reach the
hair in order to work.
General Tips:
• Steam hair no more than 2 times in a week for about 20 to 30
minutes to get the full benefit. Some sessions can go over and
hour for more damaged hair.
• Hair will feel a little heavier and full of moisture after a steam
treatment, during this time, handle hair with care, wait until
hair and scalp have cooled down until styling.
• Damaged Hair - Increase Temperature Decrease Steam if
possible
• Chemicals or Color Treatment - Skip cooling step
• Conditioning Thick Hair - Extend Steam Time
