Unmanageable hair can be a real struggle, particularly when every day seems to be a bad hair day, and no styling technique can tame your mane.
Frizzy, unruly, thick, knotty and course hair types make styling a challenge, until now.
Two members of our team with self-proclaimed ‘unmanageable hair’ volunteered to try out the
L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Hair Treatment Styler to see if they were able to turn their unmanageable manes into sleek, silky locks…
Before & After: Long Hair

Model: Alexina
Hair Type: “I have very long, very curly, thick hair. I’ve previously only had my hair straightened professionally in-salon with a traditional straightener which took 1.5 hours.”
Steampod Styling time: 50 minutes
The Verdict:
“My hair has never been this straight, silky or frizz-free. The
L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Hair Treatment Styler was so simple to use, and I was surprised by how quickly I could get dead straight hair considering how thick and long my hair is! And it actually stayed straight even despite warm humid conditions.”
Before & After: Short Hair

Model: Alexandra
Hair type: “I have shoulder-length naturally very thick hair, with an inconsistent curl pattern (mixture of tight curls and waves). My hair is also very dry and coarse so I often find heat styling leaves my hair feeling unhealthy.”
Steampod Styling time: Less than 30 minutes
The Verdict:
“The Steampod for me was very easy to use, and the wide plates allowed me to cut down the amount of time I had to spend straightening. I got compliments on how much shinier my hair looked after using this straightener, compared to my usual iron. Most importantly, I found that my hair stayed straighter for longer and my hair was much less frizzy on the second or third day than it would have been otherwise. For someone who straightens their hair religiously, I’d definitely consider it an essential tool.”
How Steampod Works:
The Steampod is different to your average straightener. Why? The plates of the Steampod are designed to seal the hair cuticle to straighten the hair, while the built-in comb spreads hair evenly along the plates for easy and effective styling (and less hair breakage!)
After trialling the
L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Hair Treatment Styler, Alexina and Alexandra found the styler not only straightened their hair, but improved the manageability of their hair, giving it a softer, silkier and smoother texture, with the bonus of less frizz!
Still confused by how it actually works? Continuous steam pressure opens the hair cuticle to retain natural moisture levels, while also protecting the hair from heat damage. Adjustable heat settings range from 140-210°C to suit all hair types and textures.
