L’Oreal Steampod 2.0 Review Total Hair Control with Ease

December 11, 2015 | 23 Comments

For anyone who suffers from unruly hair like myself, then the professional L’Oreal Steampod 2.0 is the hairstyling tool that you must try! Take a look at what a fantastic job this Steampod 2.0 has done to my head of hair the results speak for themselves, we even have a video demonstrating the styling tool in action.

I have extremely unruly, thick, frizzy hair and it really is the bane of one’s life! I haven’t been blessed with the best hair in life, the texture is very dry and course and this hasn’t helped with colouring my hair over the years, but I don’t fancy turning grey just yet!

Why the Steampod 2.0 helps me with styling

I have one of those hair types that is a nightmare to style and keep under control. It is neither straight nor curly just somewhere in between in the nightmare zone!

I have tried various lotions and potions over the years to attempt to calm and condition my tresses, yet never found anything to make it resemble actual hair.

When I was asked to try the new L’Oreal Professionnel Steampod 2.0 I was excited but also a little apprehensive, after all, I had purchased and tried out practically every hairstyling tool on the market from straighteners, styling brushes to curlers and crimpers.

I didn’t want to get too excited that Steampod 2.0 would be the hairstyling tool to finally work and stop my search for the ‘Miracle hair tool’.

SteamPod 2.0 Review

 

Why The L’Oreal Professionnel Steampod 2.0 is so Unique

The Steampod 2.0 is a revolutionary hair styling tool from L’Oreal Professionnel that is suitable for all hair types. A combination of steam and pro-keratin technology helps to tame hair movement and leave it silky smooth, whilst protecting from heat damage.

The anodised floating plates are flexible and the continuous steam pressure opens the hair cuticle to retain natural moisture levels. The integrated comb spreads hair evenly along the hard ceramic plates.The new Steampod offers distinct advanced performance advantages with… A water demineralization filtration system for pure steam, Five temperature settings from 140 to 210 °C.

Features:

  • Steam and pro-keratin technology for silky smooth hair
  • Protects from heat damage
  • Anodized floating plates for flexibility
  • Continuous steam pressure opens hair cuticles
  • Retains natural moisture levels
  • Integrated comb spreads hair evenly along the plates
  • Reaches heat of 140-210°C
  • Adjustable temperature setting

Using the Steampod 2.0

Using the Steampod 2.0 couldn’t be easier, you simply fill the pod with water, switch on, choose your desired temperature and wait a few minutes for the steam to start.

Before I used the Steampod, I prepped my hair whilst wet with the Steampod Replenishing smoothing cream. A Pro-Keratin enriched smoothing cream that has been specifically designed and formulated to be activated by the Steampod for an anti-frizz effect that lasts for up to three days. I was then ready to create sleek, smooth hair in the same way as you would use a hair straighter.

L'oreal Steampod - Before hair

As you can see from the picture this is the before picture! I had already washed and blow-dried my hair and this the horrendous result.

I divided my hair into sections as I would before using any styling tool then got set to work running the Steampod plates down sections of my hair. Even on my first attempt, I found using the Steampod simple and stress-free, I even managed to straighten my hair in half the time I normally would when using a GHD hair straightener.

This picture shows one-half of my hair straightened with the L’oreal Steampod 2.0, I am sure you can clearly see the difference.

I completed the look using a small amount of Steampod Protective Smoothing Serum. The Steampod Serum works by helping to resurface and re-seal the cuticles of the hair fibre for a mirror-like shine. It is enriched with oils of Avocado and Apricot and smells gorgeous.

I could not hide how excited I was with the results, I had never had hair that felt so smooth and actually like hair and not a mass of frizz! The real test of time would be how long my hair stayed looking this good and I am pleased to report that after 3 days my hair still remained smooth and straight without the need of using any hair styling tool.

This is truly something I have never experienced before and I will not be switching back. It has given me a new confidence now my hair looks this good and I will never feel ashamed of my hair again.

I tried the Steampod 2.0 out on a family member with lovely thick, healthy, wavy hair that had never been coloured and here are the results.

Take a look at my video showing the Steampod 2.0 in action on extremely thick, healthy, wavy hair. See the results right before your eyes. This would make a perfect gift for all hair types.

Personally, I think the Steampod 2.0 would make a perfect gift for all hair types.

*I was sent the L’Oreal Professionnel Steampod 2.0 to try out on my hair and give my honest thoughts*

    this proDuct looks amazing. I love the shine it gives to your hair. You look stunning. And it is obviously really easy to use which is hugely important to me. I really can’t be bothered faffing around with tools that are complicated and normally give me second degree burns. What a fab styling tool. Hugs Mrs H xxxx

      I can never be bothered with my hair taking ages and tryng new styles. This styler just keeps me looking human and is so easy and takes far less time than GHD’s do and it lasts longer too.

      I had a before picture that was so bad I could not even bring myself to let people see it. I have always had wild, course hair and at last I have found a tool to tame it, it actually feels too good to be true!

      No not at first. I do have to wash it more often, I am very bad and tend to leave my hair unwashed and use dry shampoo as I just hate washing and drying my hair I just never get the time! I could not recommend anything more, saying that I don’t think It would be as good for people with thin, fine hair as it makes your hair look like so much weight has been removed from it.
