Review (5/5): My Favorite Beauty Helper
OMG !!!!!!! I have been cruising Amazon for this exact item for quite some time and was thrilled to see it for an excellent price. I had been to retail and beauty supply stores everywhere I went, only to be told I could not order just the unit. I had already purchased extra rollers with my original unit. My Caruso Steam Unit gave up the after some major miles, through many hair styles.
I have very thick, straight American Indian hair that was prematurely gray hair before I could graduate high school. I purchased the Caruso Steam set and many extra curlers years ago when it first came on the market. I had tried various kinds of steam roller sets that were difficult to wrap my straight hair around. They were pokey and heavy with painful steel pins to hold rollers in my hair; only for the curls to fall out almost immediately. I tried ceramic, adjustable heat settings, and many different curling irons and dryers that was new on the market. I combined hair gels or mousse with them only to have curls and waves fall out within minutes. I went to beauty school (lol) after high school. Really not my thing
The new unit I received is not round like this picture. It is kidney shaped.
The old version I had to add a small amount of salt to the water.
The newer version has a slider switch for OFF, STEAM and IONIC STEAM.
I love, love, love the Caruso Steam for my hair.
I used 6-8 curlers for my whole head.
Literally seconds to put each in and about the time I get them all in it is time to take them out. Just like my old Caruso Steam unit (without the salt).
My curls last three days minimum.
I DO NOT use hair products on my hair ever.
Curls are soft and natural feeling.
Caruso Steamer does not damage hair. Stopped perms many years ago after finding this steamer. This amazing steamer adds shine to my curls. I can run my fingers through my hair as much as I want.
There is never those bent ends of hair, curls just fall, I shake my head, move a curl or two with my fingers and I am out the door.
I have missed this little time saver and am continually complimented on my hair and how much younger I look.
I hope this helps someone, lets me know how you use your Caruso Steamer
