These are great straighteners they work in my thick curly afro hair effortlessly, it leaves my hair soft and silky.
The only downside to these is that the size of them make it difficult to really get to the root of the hair as they are quite bulky so once I have put them all over I still need to go in with my other one I have which is slimmer to get the roots done properly. But these definitely save me time compared to my other straightener.
Honestly, it’s the best hair straightener i had so far. My hair is very wild, doesn’t style ever how i wish and its a texture more like dry and frizzy. This straightener had done wonders on my hair that i couldn’t tame with any other straightener before. It’s quite expesive but you get the valur for money from it.
It’s an expensive piece of kit and I can’t see where it differs from cheaper alternative brands but it’s a gift I was asked to get and I got it. I am told they’re very happy with it. I would suggest many YouTube videos to get the hang of using it.
Just amazing! I have a few straitened including the top brands but nothing comes close to this one! I have a freeze prone hair and my stile usually wouldn’t last a day but with steampod my hair are straight, shiny and soft until the next wash. Not even the office air conditioner can change that! Would highly recommend.
Only downfall for me would be price, I bought a warehouse damaged product and the price was significantly lower because of cosmetic damaging to the box and the box was repackaged. The product itself remains perfect so I highly recommend purchasing used condition of this item if it’s Sold By and Dispatch By Amazon.
It’s quite heavy and awkward and big (all not great qualities for travelling) but I’ll still be making room – let’s put it that way 🙂
4/5 from me
Overall I don’t feel the product itself is worth the money I paid for it, and I feel I’ve paid for the innovative technology rather than the actual quality of the plates and the product which is plasticky and it’s not as robust as a high end straightener. Also the amount of steam released is a LOT LESS than the professional version so the results are not as good as the salon one.
The problem is that my hair ends are damaged by highlights and while the roots and mid lenghts lasted all night and actually also resisted to a light rain without getting fizzy, the friction with the pillow completely affected my ends. Unfortunately Steampod could not do any miracles for my ends. If I have had my natural fizzy unbleached hair, it would have totally work.
In summary my two cents are:
– if you have fizzy hair, the steam will do the trick and you’ll have wonderful shiny hair
if your hair is damaged, I am afraid no miracle will be in sight.
I’ve been using hair straighteners since I was a teen and let me tell you, the Steampod is a game changer! My hair looks and feels so soft and healthy, I combined my routine with the Steampod thick hair product. As someone with extremely thick and unruly hair this’s changed my life. I received so many compliments after only just a few days of use! It’s extremely easy to use albeit I wouldn’t use it for “curling” your hair, because the plates are quite chunky. My hair lasted through steamy and humid weather conditions too, so that’s a bonus.
I have done so much research on what ones I wanted and I have read pretty much every review of the GHD platinum and Dyson but decided I wanted to try these as the reviews were amazing.
The Steampod claims to not damage your hair nearly as much as typical flat iron ones. I have the babyliss diamond and try to use a heat of 180 but end up having to go up to 200+ to get a sleek look which ends up bad for my hair.
Today I tried my new Steampod 3.0 and couldn’t believe how straight and sleek they made my hair with only one length. They are easy to use , smooth, solid and left my hair feeling so soft and sleek without even having to add any finishing products. I definitely won’t be going back to flat dry irons and am looking forward to my hair being in such better condition. Thank you L’Oral
I bought it and is perfect for straightening hair like the saloon without lot of Issues. Mine is already very straight but removes those fizzy things . I don’t really like for curls I prefer other one but If the goal is straight I really like it is perfect.
I am not sure if its working properly.I can see no steam at all coming through while using it.is it normal?unfortunately there is no choice to contact the seller.
If you are debating whether to get this machine don’t, I have very curly hair and have always used GHD straightener
My husband always complained about the burning smell while using them. I am 100% converted to these steam pod’s, people have commented on the shine of my hair, just like I had just came from a hairdresser. Buy them, you won’t regret i
My GHDs were years old and not doing as good of a job to straighten my hair as they used to. The steampod was recommended to me by a hairdresser friend but I didn’t really want to spend that much. I managed to bag a bargain on Amazon prime day and I have to say I am so impressed. My hair is very fluffy when blowdryed these take out all that fly away fluffyness and it stays straight for days with no need to touch up unless I’ve had it tied up or got sweaty in the gym and got slight waves around my neck. I would recommend them to anyway who’s on the fence, you won’t regret it!
Honestly my hair feels smoother once I’m done straightening than before I started. I have quite fine thin hair that gets damaged easily so wanted something that was a bit more gentle than normal straighteners and these work great and my hair feels amazing after use. They also work great for curling with a bit of practice to get the knack for i
So I was intrigued to see what this incarnation could do…especially as its dearer than it’s predecessors..
The first thing that’s been improved is the inbuilt water well..which is less cumbersome…
The lead seems to rotate with the Steampod now which makes it much easier to use.
Overall I would recommend a Steampod because it leaves your hair smoother and straighter is less time than straighteners..its less damaging and you don’t have to have your hair bone dry to use…
Only downside is that it is chunky to handle…but you get used to it..and its benefits far outweigh this…
I have long hair so can’t comment on use on short hair.
Having done a bit of research with online reviews of steam straighteners, I took the plunge and bought these even though they were more expensive than most, but got them from Amazon warehouse so that reduced the cost a bit. Love the results I get from them, my hair is lovely soft and smooth and it lasts longer than my previous straighteners. It also takes less time to achieve great results! Love them, love the results
