Handling:
In the beginning, it is unusual to use because it's a bit heavier than most other straighteners. In addition, it has a "working direction", indicated by three white arrows. Will it be pulled accidentally times the other way around, then I imagine that it is a bit "stiff".
Important tips on my part to use:
We already written, it should absolutely and exclusively be used with distilled water. This prevents it calcified or accumulate other contaminants. The water there in any hardware store 89ct / l, which comes out every loooong. Even though it is a gauge with the aid of which the suitability of the own water can be tested, but I would, "suitable" itself even when not in use.
Next, you want to use the straighteners: put it in, the water fills up to the "Max." - Line on, then hold down the "A" button until it lights up blue. Then it will take about 3-5 minutes until the steam has formed. However, he is not yet out of the openings. These includes, and pushes the iron together. Now you hear humming the little engine that makes her so long to her typical vapors such as hears the iron. You can see the steam then emerge.
I am with one fill for once smoothing always gotten along. It is advisable, auszukippen the water then.
There are the temperature settings 170 °, 180 °, 190 °, 200 °, 210 °. I use 170 ° in my long and the hair structure very thick and unruly hair. Anything above that I think too much and damaging hair.
Is it worth the straightener?
In my eyes only, if you do several times a week smoothens the hair. For from time to time, this investment does not pay. In addition brings the Steampod at Frequent use two benefits: The hair is processed more gently and beautiful and it lasts longer, even with slight moisture outside, such as light drizzle.
VERY IMPORTANT: The head of Steampods is very wide, about 10cm. Thus, you need a certain hair length, I would say 15cm or longer.
Do I need accessories or toiletries?
I recommend the serum and this is totally adequate. There are no further smoothing products needed.
As a tip on the edge yet, you buy a hair oil (eg MysticOil), which you on your hair after Smooths order (1x Press in the lengths to incorporate, use sparingly !!!).
I am satisfied and I recommend it?
Definitely yes! I am very happy with my Steampod and with whom above, there is nothing, which is therefore also have fun! The hair feels really great to see them and not "smoothed" out sonderm alive, of course, great UNF feel incredible. :)
The price is steep, yes - but I think it's worth it. Whether the Steampod as my last iron holds five years remains to be seen, but at the price I would also like to expect.
