Review (4/5): Great for putting moisture back into your hair.
Like a previous reviewer, I also received steamer in a box labeled "O'Hair Steamer," but that didn't bother me because all 3 of the models I researched appear to have the exact same design. There must not be an active patent for this device. It was delivered via USPS and arrived in perfect condition. The instructions read like they were translated from another language. I didn't bother with the diagramed instruction booklet, I found a YouTube video from one of my favorite natural hair vloggers, Nikkimae. She provided step by step video instructions on to assemble a steamer that looks exactly like this model. Make sure you have the tube that connects the bonnet to the base connected, as well a as the tiny plug that is located at the base of the bonnet, or you might get leaks. It took less them five minutes to assemble. It took about 3 minutes to start producing loads of stream.
Because the stem that connects the bonnet to the base is not adjustable, you can't adjust the height of the bonnet. Fortunately, the counter I placed mine on and the chair in which I sat provided the perfect height to allow my head to fit under the bonnet so the steam came in contact with all of my hair. I still had to wear a narrow elastic headband so the back of my hair could come in contact with the steam.
I used my favorite deep conditioner and after 20 minutes under the steamer, my hair felt soft and was much easier to comb and style. I like the results much better than using a heat cap for deep conditioning.
The unit doesn't fold down for storage like a bonnet style hair dryer, but fortunately, I have the space to store it fully assembled.
So far, I am very pleased with this. The jury is still out regarding durability, so my opinion may change over time.
