Product Review: RedPro Hair Therapy Steamer

I’ve been looking to step up my deep conditioning game with a hair steamer. My family gifted me the RedPro hair steamer last year for the holidays. Ever since then, I’ve incorporated it into my weekly wash day routine. This review is based on usage for six months.

  • Stronger cortex
  • Soft, shiny hair
  • Easy detangling

  • Removes product build-up safely
  • Hydrates scalp to prevent dandruff
• Spa facial at home:
  • Revitalizes skin elasticity
  • Replenishes luminosity
  • Restores moisture
  • Rejuvenates pores
  • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines

How to Incorporate the RedPro Hair Steamer into your:

Natural Hair Routine

I incorporate it on wash day when:

• Pre-shampooing: I apply a conditioner and oil mix to my hair, sit under the hooded attachment, and then detangle. I notice my hair is easier to detangle after using the hair steamer. I’ve also noticed that this step helps ensure my hair is moisturized throughout the wash day.
• Deep conditioning: After shampooing, I apply my favorite deep conditioner, sit under the hooded attachment, and then detangle.

Facial routine

My weekly, or bi-weekly facial routine with the Red Pro steamer looks like this:

• Cleanse
• Exfoliate
• Use RedPro steamer on my face for 5-7 minutes
• Mask
• Hydrate

Overall Review of the RedPro Hair Steamer

Pros:

• Moisturizes hair: The amount of moisture I get from using this steamer is amazing. I have high porosity hair, so my curls get dry fairly quickly. I’ve noticed that I’ve had better moisture retention since incorporating this steamer.
• Helps with detangling: My high porosity hair gets tangled quickly. I feel like this steamer has been amazing in helping me detangle my hair easily. It’s probably because my hair is incredibly moisturized when using this steamer.
• Helps with elasticity: Since using this steamer, the elasticity of my hair has been amazing. My curls bounce back and shrink with no issues.
• Provides shine: I’ve noticed that my hair has been a lot shinier since steaming my hair. For my high porosity folks, you know that’s almost hard to come by.
• Easy to assemble: Setting up the facial and hair steamer is very easy. I had no issues assembling when I first got my steamer.
• Easy to clean: I only clean the hooded attachment and cup to my hair steamer. However, cleaning both is fairly simple. I clean the cup when washing dishes, and I hand wash the hooded attachment with shampoo.
• Rejuvenates skin: I love the benefits the facial steamer provides. My skin can get really dry and dull. Since using this steamer, my skin has looked hydrated and luminous. It’s the perfect addition to your skincare routine. I’ve gotten so many compliments about my skin looking smooth and bright.

Cons:

• One size hooded dryer: The hooded dryer attachment can’t be resized. So if you have a lot of hair or a big head 😳, you’ll have to be strategic when sitting under the dryer. If you do run into issues, I’d suggest using the facial attachment instead.
• Hair steamer height: You can’t adjust the height of the steamer. So, you’ll have to be sure you place it somewhere that’s not too high, and not too low when using the hair steamer. If you do run into issues, I’d suggest using the facial attachment instead.
• Hooded attachment material: The hooded attachment is made out of fragile material, so I’d handle it with extreme care. I made the mistake of laying my hooded attachment under a wall decor that fell and cracked my attachment. You can’t get a replacement for the hooded attachment as RedPro doesn’t sell parts individually. So, if your attachment breaks/cracks, you’d have to get a whole new steamer. Thankfully, RedPro supplied me with another steamer so I could finish my review for y’all!
