The $40 scalp steamer I laughed at is now my favorite tool

I used to think those little handheld scalp steamers were a gimmick for spa clients who wanted pampering. Last month I bought one from a supply shop in Sacramento for $40 just to see what the fuss was about, and now I use it on every color treatment. It opened up the cuticle way faster than my old plastic cap method, and my clients notice the gloss difference. Has anyone else tried one for their processing times, or am I just late to this party?

And honestly the heat distribution is the real game changer here. With the plastic cap method I always had hot spots where the steam pooled, but the steamer is way more even so the color takes more consistently from root to ends. I've also noticed it cuts my processing time by maybe five or six minutes, which adds up when you're doing three or four retouches in a row. One thing I'll say though, you gotta watch the temperature on finer hair, I had a client with baby fine strands and it processed a touch faster than I expected. Your mileage may vary on that front, but for thicker or coarse hair it's been a total win for me. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was skeptical and then got converted.
