L’Oreal Steampod Flat Iron - AMAZING!

The Steampod flat iron and styler has finally made its way to the states and I finally got my hands on this unique and really hyped flat iron. I decided to compare the L'Oreal Steampod to one of the best performing flat irons (* in my opinion.) on the market, Dyson Corrale hair straightener. The Steampod held its ground at a much lower price point which is a welcomed product into the hair world. If you've tried the Steampod, how did it work for your hair?

I live in Australia in a humid climate. Traditional straighteners strip all of the moisture out of the hair, so the second I step outside - poof! The moisture differential means my hair just goes frizzy. Plus my hair is naturally quite brittle I couldn't use a straightener regularly without my hair being incredibly damaged. LOVE my steam pod, I've been using it for 5 years

[@hybridtitanium3877]

I live in Australia tooo, and I totally agree with you. Just got my steampod, can’t wait to use it

[@rain3743]

Doesn't the steam = humidity?

[@MishLee]

You should also mention that the Steampod causes 78% less damage to hair than traditional straighteners and causes less colour fade. It's an awesome product. I've been using it for 3 years and my hair is in great condition. And you can get much closer to your roots if you put it at 90 degrees to your scalp when starting. I've got curly, frizzy hair and it leaves my hair soft, shiny and straight for days. My hair is also much less susceptible to humidity. I couldn't be without it.

[@maddiebeament425]

Is it better for your hair that the dyson?

[@MishLee]

@@maddiebeament425 I’ve not used the Dyson so can’t compare.

[@LochNessAnthony]

They say 78% less damage compared only to the steam pod without steam and comb so I don’t know how it actually compares to other irons.

[@Faith.M22]

What kind of water u use with it? Can I use it with tap water?

[@MishLee]

@@Faith.M22 use distilled water. You can usually buy it very cheaply from supermarkets or hardware stores. Tap water can clog up the steamer with calcium deposits.

[@priscilabee583]

In the beggining the Loreal looked better but the end result of the Dyson was more beautiful.

[@jg5760]

Just ordered a steampod after having my hair done with it at the salon. Obsessed!! What a huge difference in my hair!!

[@Afton32]

The first straightener I ever had in like 2004-2005 had a comb attachment. It was amazing. I don’t understand why that didn’t remain a feature on straighteners - makes a huge difference!

[@shannonabbott3113]

I bought it after Christmas on Sephora and I love it. My hair is naturally curly and it stays straight for days after using the steampod

[@debbiecs1964]

So impressed with the L’Oréal tool.

[@angelina2408]

I have thick, naturally wavy hair. Now medium length. Got my first L’Oréal steampod about 7 yrs ago. Through my L’Oréal stylist. Stopped working well as I used it probably daily x6 years. so I bought my 2nd one in the last year. I will never go without one. $400 Cdn.including serum and oil. Always use the serum heat protection before. Finish styling with oil. THE BEST APPLIANCE EVER!

[@c.n.8805]

I just bought one! I have curly hair, now using the steampod my hair is very sleek and soft! I don’t have that with other styling tools so I’m very happy

[@smelloweese]

I have this iron!! I love it!!! I get beautiful waves too (my hair is longer) BUT I learnt that you can’t use it upside down to do the curls like you do at 10:44 because the water in the chamber isn’t being sucked up the little pipe!! You have to curl with the bottom of the iron down!! That was a little learning curve for me, but it gives super beautiful “blow out” style waves on long hair

[@joanneshaw3071]

Was wondering if it curled well

[@MishLee]

Yes, you need to remove the comb to do it properly.

[@MH_297]

Yes that’s true, the arrow need to be facing south

[@thunganv3241]

I’m so impressed by the way you test a product and give your opinion.. really appreciate it.. lots of love from India ❤️

[@szidoniadaniel6939]

Omg so happy to see this video. I was waiting for this for ages!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@kerrycook5969]

I love my steampod, IV had it for a couple months $330au and it's Amazing, I' have bleach blonde wavey hair and this tool makes my hair feel so soft smooth and sleek and shiny it's great. I will say though you are meant to use demineralised water (distilled) and not tap water. As it's so expensive I'd deff use the correct water as it will last longer.

[@brandiboring6493]

Man that is straight & keep up the amazing work you do thank you

[@lisafawcett5384]

Nice! Very smooth. Out of my price range, but something to think about.

[@madokaor3611]

Thank you for not washing your hair for 4 days to give us the best review. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@adelaided393]

I m still on my version number 1 of the steampod... Still works great after 10 years almost... Only plus is the newest one 3.0 allows curls with the rotating cord... Xx

[@jossecret]

I have type 3A hair, tail bone length and I live in a city where the humidity is always at around 80%, so believe me when I tell you that the Steampod is the best flat iron ever! It takes me 15/20min to straighten my hair and it will last me perfectly for as many days as I want! Zero frizz, even if I go out in the rain, the worst that can happen are some waves without any frizz! You quickly forget about it not going close to the roots! I have the Steampod 2.0 and it was way less expensive back then, it costed me less then $150 brand new, still I would buy it again for $250, because it is That Good!

[@catalinarandle6420]

Thank you very much for reviewing the Steampod 🙌🏼 I think that for my fine wavy frizzy hair the steam might be helping with infusing some hydration in my hair.

[@dreamgirrrl9]

That was a seriously thorough review! Ty!

[@jennibee5943]

The first straightener I ever owned 20 years ago had a water tank and used steam...thought it was the biggest inconvenience at the time. Literally felt like I was using an iron on my hair. Was so excited when the waterless straighteners came out 😆 never thought I’d see these again! I’m sure the technology is way better with this one though! 😉

[@shannonbekkerus4313]

I have that straightener too! Never got rid of it because I couldn’t find a straightener with the water tank. Plus, I remember that straightener being super expensive at the time. I actually ended up buying a second one because the plates on the first broke when I dropped it. Ah, 00s memories!

[@haf-h8860]

Im just here to say I am loving the frequent uploads, I would love to see a comparison video on nude coloured boots, have not come across a good one yet, and yours are the best!

[@sharibc3597]

Wow! My hair is naturally very curly, in some areas. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But using a flat iron nearly ruined my hair trying to get it straight. But a steam iron just might be what I need! I’m going to check it out! Thanks!

[@Iris-qv9ux]

I have the old l'oreal steampod which is a bit unhandy because of the separate watertank. But it makes my hair so smooth. And the best is that your hair stays straight even in humidity

[@Annanaaseens]

At the moment i have Loreal from 2013. And it still works like a clock. Very good. Looking forward to buy a new one for Christmas for even better results. very reliable.

We need to have a video dedicated to something your husband enjoys doing. He is always so supportive and show so much interest in you while filming. I think that would be pretty cool. Or maybe a video of cool men’s products he likes if you wanted to keep with the theme of your channel. Kudos to your husband, he seems pretty great. I’ve got one of those too. They are a rare treasure.

[@FromTrishA]

I disagree. He seems very controlling and always hiding in the background.

[@roseaglow1371]

FromTrishA well...if you had done much research before you made a judgement, you would have known he helps with the filming aspect as that’s his background. Sooo...there is that. The channel is both their jobs. M seems like a very strong and capable woman. They are a great team together obviously respectful of each other. Grounded in their faith. Genuine. I have a relationship like this, it’s easy to spot. Is it so rare that it may be assumed otherwise? Maybe. So best not to assume. Some woman just have great spouses who support their dreams. She got herself a great one.

[@niamhbrennan6113]

I have the older version with the stand alone pod. Slightly cumbersome but the result is worth it. I do have to use my ghd to get my roots but the result from the steam pod overall is far better than any other straightener i've ever used

[@nikol.b2840]

I have the steam pod 2.0! Tip,When you wave it ,try without the comp. I used It so many times and really helps.

My very first flat iron in the 90s was a steam iron made by conair. It was good as a newbie so I didn't get my hair but I think the regular ones I have had since then work much better.

[@buddyholly4672]

I think you need a comb with the straighteners. My hair is wavy and doesn't stay straight for more than the morning. So curling it just lets me embrace my texture and still looks good

[@gettoknowalex]

I‘ve had the steampod 2.0 for almost five years now! Big love. Am looking to upgrade to this one, as it seems to be less clunky and more practical! I love doing blowout-esque waves with my one, but can‘t figure out if they‘re both the same width?

As far as flat irons go I just don't think the dyson is that great, I think the technology is great but in general I don't like the results . I thought the loreal was really nice because the steam keeps moisture in the hair but if I can't hit my curly roots then it's no good to me, lol. This was a really good video!!

[@Markofitch]

i tried it on very curly hair and this iron has a protective barrier that allows you to go to the root without burning you, the girl on the video isnt doing it tho but you totally can.

This is not a new concept. I had one in the mid to late 90's when I was in college. The water chamber attached to the top of the straightener instead of the bottom like this one. I don't know who made it or anything, but I loved it! I used it for years and it always straightened my hair perfectly! I'm glad to see they are coming back, but would be nice if it was a better price point.

[@linzzzanity]

Our excuses are actually complaints. I’d think about it could get closer to my roots. Also, straighteners are useless unless you’re using a thin tooth comb in front of the plates in order to put tension on your hair. This one ☝️ addition to ironing gives it a flat surface to glide over and heat into that shape. It’s like blowing your hair with and without a brush. Can be done well, bur it’s never going to blow your mind.

I have bought it myself but a perfect tip is use the the steampot conditioner and before using it use the cream. With the cream it will get much more shine. Also before using it wait for the steam to come out utherwise u're damaging u're hair. Also never use water from the sink! In the instruction Manuel should stand which water to use.

I would not be able to deal with the fact that you can't get close to the roots. To me there's no point in straightening my hair if I can't get all of it to be perfectly straight.

[@cfoster6804]

The cheap old school ones put out too much steam. Too much steam with hot plates will definitely damage the hair pretty bad. Loreal took that idea back to the drawing board and figured out exactly how much steam can be released with hot plates and not cause too much damage (all irons cause some level of damage). Their newer versions of Steampod put out even less steam than the 1st and 2nd editions but still very effective. So basically the difference is the AMOUNT of steam being emitted.
