Is Your Natural Hair Extremely Dry? Try A Steam Treatment
By · Updated January 8, 2015

steam treatment for dry hair

Natural kinky, coily, and curly hair have the tendency of becoming extremely parched in specific circumstances–a few days after wash day (if you haven’t been regularly moisturizing”>, after a swim in the summertime, or a trip atop the mountains in the wintertime–and it can leave your hair texture feeling dull, brittle, fragile, and unhealthy. Have you ever sat in a sauna or jacuzzi immediately after an excruciating workout, in order to pour life back into your achy joints and body? Well, think of a steam treatment as a way of giving your natural hair a relaxing sauna break from all that you have put it through.

Many curlies opt for a steaming treatment at the salon by a professional, but there are plenty of home steamer options as well. The bottom line is that they all use moist heat to enhance and promote your hair’s health. Here’s what it does:

  • Detangles your hair more easily. With the help of water and gentle heat, steam helps loosen tight knots and matted hair from root to tip, making it easy to help your comb or fingers pass through with no difficulty.
  • Allow hair product to be more effective. Using a steamer allows your cuticle to lift enough to let water, oils, and moisturizers, all of the necessary ingredients from your conditioning product enter the scalp and provide an abundance of hydration to parched hair.
  • Elongates while keeping definition. You will still have full, voluminous curls and coils after using a steamer. In addition, your hair will be much softer and bouncier than it was pre-treatment.

The tools you’ll need

The Huetiful Hair Steamer is a popular at-home hair steaming tool for do-it-yourself naturalistas. It’s a splurge at over a hundred dollars, but the smaller, handheld Q-Redew is another option at a lower price point.

Curly Hairstyles To Try In 2025

By Larry Stansbury · Updated December 24, 2024

Can you believe it’s almost 2025? While we’re looking back at all the beauty moments of this year at all this year’s beauty moments, we’re also looking forward to the trends coming in the new year, specifically for the curls. “The focus is all about embracing natural textures,” says IGK NYC hairstylist Olya Iudina. “People are moving away from over-styled looks and leaning into the beauty of their own curls.” 

Remember how people were diffusing their curls? Yep, it’s still on the horizon. “Embracing your natural curls has been making a big comeback in 2024 and for 2025,” says RPZL Master Stylist Stephanie Angelone. “Instead of blowing your hair out, a round brush using the diffusing nozzle with curling products and letting natural curls dry without frizz is on the upswing.”

This year, we’re seeing a surge in styles that celebrate the beauty of all curls, from bold Jheri Curls to curly pixie. For specific hairstyles, layered bobs, heavy fringes, and voluminous shapes offer versatility and showcase curls in their best spotlight. Regarding curly hair, we’re focusing on low-maintenance yet high-impact hairstyles (especially if we’re trying to look good when running late to work). Let’s remember beauty products to maintain the volume of the curls. “The main focus here is moisture,” says Iudina. “Something that will enhance hair texture and won’t bring it down.”

2025 is the year for the curls to shine. We’re here to express ourselves with the power of hair while keeping it chic and healthy. 

Below for some inspiring curly hair looks to consider rocking in the new year.
