L'Oréal Professionnel · Steampod

L'Oréal Professionnel SteamPod 4 is the brand's steam hair straightener, an all-in-one professional styler. With it, you can straighten your hair, create waves or curls, on any hair type. Dry steam makes the hair easier to style, so you work faster and with less heat on the hair.

What it does for you

• Visibly smoother hair, thanks to the continuous flow of dry steam, at 0.8 g/min, which does not wet the hair and does not frizz it.
• Smoothing from roots to ends: the ceramic plates are wider, and the top plate is floating and grips any hair type well.
• Better defined curls, with the guide that heats up easily, up to 100 °C, and the thinner and rounded top arm.
• A comb for every texture: in the box you receive 3 combs that distribute steam evenly over the strand.
• Stable temperature: the plate controls it 250 times per second, on one of the 3 levels.
• Safety: it turns off automatically after 30 minutes of not using it.

How to use it at home

1. Fill the reservoir with demineralized water and put it in place.
2. Choose the comb: with fine teeth for straight or wavy hair, medium for curly hair, with wide teeth for very curly or afro hair.
3. On washed hair, apply a protective product to the lengths and ends, then dry it completely with the dryer.
4. Turn on the plate and choose the temperature: 180 °C for fine, dyed or bleached hair, 200–210 °C for thick and natural hair.
5. For straightening, put the heat-protective covers on the curling guide.
6. Work on thin strands and pull the plate slowly, with the arrows always pointing down.

For what type of hair

For any hair type, from straight to very curly and afro, because you change the comb and the temperature. On fine, dyed or bleached hair, stay at 180 °C. If you just want a small plate for quick touch-ups, SteamPod 4 is larger and wider than a regular plate.
