2.0 out of 5 stars Steamer is OK, but Probably Not Worth the Price Tag December 15, 2010

By Black.Diamond

I got this steamer as an early Christmas gift. Being excited to try it out, I set it up right away. Overall the steamer was OK. After using it a couple times, I cannot say that it was any better than sitting under my mom's old-fashioned heating cap. A couple details about me: I have natural african-american hair 4b/c sometimes classified as (cNapp). My hair responds to moisture and conditioners- which seems like the perfect equation for this product.

Some obvious flaws are:

1) The steam hood is designed slightly inadequately, as the steam does not reach the bottom 1/3 or back of your hair (about 3-4 inches above your nape). To remedy this, I steamed about 10 minutes regularly, and then turned backwards in my seat, straddling cowboy style, having the front of the hood steam the back of my hair. This worked OK, but not the ultimate solution. For $125+, a problem like that should be addressed. Additionally, another method I use to get the most steam exposure is to band my hair at the top of my head with a headband. At least with this method, my ends get wet. Oh, and a sweatband is almost essential if you don't want to continuously rid your face and neck of water.

2) The steam session is only estimated to last about 20 minutes, however, my steamer automatically shut off while there was an inch of water left in the basin (yes, I got out my ruler and measured). Don't get me wrong, as a forgetful person I embrace automatic shut off, however, I don't appreciate premature shut off. Anyway, with so much water left in the basin, and the coil being submersed in the water, one naturally worries about rust, right? Well taking off the basin is hard, and almost feels like you are going to break it. So I just loosened it and tilted the whole unit over the sink to pour out the excess water.

3) While not on the top of the list is the fact that the hood is not adjustable, meaning you have to find the perfect table and chair combination to be adequately positioned under the unit. I'm short, so I used my office chair that has height adjustment.

All in all, if steam works for you, then give it a go. But I honestly think their developers need to go back to the drawing board and redesign the hood to be more effective (and us early adapters should get a replacement part- but that's not going to happen, I'm sure). I wanted this to be a drop-dead amazing product because it garnered rave reviews(in hindsight I wonder how genuine this is since part of their marketing scheme was to send free units to popular hair bloggers) but it landed at "ehh" (but do I tell that to the person who bought it for me?? whomp whomp).

Oh, and I cannot comment on the facial attachment as I haven't received it yet.

Additional Note/Edit- I am really upset with Huetiful as I have found that the same machine design (features and all) minus the $3 "made in China" plastic hood is offered by another company at half the cost! I really feel that Huetiful is benefiting off of this machine at the expense of the African American community by repackaging the product and charging double! I posted on their Facebook page my concerns and they deleted my comment! That, to me, implied their guilt. I will not be supporting them.

Please see here for the product I am referencing- note that the only differences are 1) the colors (yes, seriously, the colors of the base and trim) and 2) the cheap hood. Id rather buy this machine and fabricate my own hood from supplies at my local hardware store. This product was introduced in 2008, which means it came first.
Paragon Petite Table-Top Facial Steamer

Thanks to Atlanta_Reader, in the comments section of this review, found this product Secura Hair and Facial Steamer with Ozone Technology which is identical- hood and all- to the huetiful for nearly half the price! If you're going to buy a steamer, go for one of these and don't support a company that is gouging and insulting its target audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving my steamer. December 14, 2010

By ~Allie

I am a black woman with natural hair. While watching the youtube videos I kept seeing ladies talk about this steamer. I ordered one. They shipped it out really fast. I have been using it for about 3 months consistently once a week. During that time I see less breakage and my hair is so much softer and shinier. I truly love my steamer. My mother who is relaxed uses it too and her hair is so much more shiny and healthy. We love it and are very happy with our purchase. Very easy to use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings about the Huetiful Steamer May 1, 2011

By silhouette_of_enchantment

I bought the Huetiful steamer based on reviews I saw from three of my favorite natural hair YouTubers. And yeah, I paid the steep the $127.00 price. Was the construction of the steamer worth $127? No, it is has a shoddy construction. The marketing campaign (using popular natural haired divas) to make the high price tag seem worthwhile is a brilliant strategy. The steamer should only cost less than a third of its markup.

When I opened the box I was disappointed. The steamer's detachable hood is constructed from a super cheap plastic. There are dollar store plastic soup bowls with a heavier construction than the Huetiful Steamer's hood. Also the main part of the steamer reminds me of a measuring cup with a heating appliance inside it. They need to invest more in the parts themselves, so people get the most bang for their buck. If I pay $127 for something, I want it to last awhile, and not be afraid it will be damaged or ruined. I have a hoodie dryer that I paid $60 for that is better constructed than the Huetiful Hair Steamer.

Those criticisms of the construction aside, I have to say the steamer itself was extremely beneficial. It actually worked for my hair! To test the steamer, I used a super cheap conditioner too (V05 conditioner), without my extras, to test the benefits of the Huetiful steamer. Although all of my hair didn't fit into the steamer, the top 3/4 did. That portion was extremely moisturized the next morning (even after sleeping without my satin cap). And it's very soft to the touch...and this was a surprise. Usually, even after putting in my leave ins, my hair feels moisturized..but not so soft to the touch.

So am I happy with the construction of the steamer? No. Did it work for my hair? Yes. Is it worth the $127 price tag? No.
