Steaming My Natural Hair

[@sadieguenther1948]

My gosh even a quarter of your hair would make me dance for happiness and joy nice long beautiful hair

[@NaturallyHigh]

I also use a clothing steamer on my hair! It's the ultimate hack because they're so much cheaper than hair steamers.

[@SimoneBrown]

Naturally High this is a game changer

[@bslorbust]

Great idea. Which brand clothes steamer do you use. The clothes steamer I have are not very consistent with the steam.

[@Its_Me_MKC]

Do you still steam your hair?

[@kristeva29]

What steamer do you use ?

[@NaturallyInspired11]

I can't get over how beautiful your hair is, we have the same texture.. I'm 5 years natural and working towards your length

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Awww, thank you so much!

[@chaniecekinglife14]

NaturallyInspired11 girl we can talk...I was so glad I found her,let's me know it's not an impossibility.

[@A.N.A_youtube]

I was looking for videos like this because I dont want a Q Redew steamer and dont see other handheld hair steamers on market. I was thinking to myself, black women know how to make it work, gotta be someone that found a good handheld clothes steamer they're enjoying instead. They're pretty much the same design, just marketed different. You just need to find one that won't be too hot on your hair. Thanks so much for sharing yours and how you use it! 🤗

[@MichelleIjeoma]

Great idea!!! I would've never thought to use a fabric steamer in lieu of an actual hair steamer. Great video!!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thanks! Yea, thankfully it actually worked really well. I was surprised! Just had to be super cautious initially because I wasn't sure how hot it would get!

[@MsChicoro]

Being Shelly B, thank you for stating this explicitly. I loved her product and thought it was a handheld HAIR steamer and that is what I searched under in Amazon. Because of your comment the mystery for me was solved. I was so thankful to read it. I was AHA! So THAT'S what that is, a GARMENT Steamer. I was able to go on Amazon and find a cute one that I wanted. Thank you so much!

[@MsChicoro]

Great, great, great idea!!!!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+MsChicoro, thanks!

[@RikaStinka]

Wait! Girl.... I have this exact steamer oh hells yeah

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+RikaStinka lol!!! Yes! It's become my staple

[@MsChicoro]

This is Genius to use a Fabric Steamer! I bought one because of you and this video and of course because I love your incredible hair! I get matted hair and tangles, too. This is another fabulous option you've presented. Thank you so much for this!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+MsChicoro, wow! That's awesome. So glad you found my video helpful! You are so welcome!

[@angelan.5053]

Thank you so much for this video. I began steaming my hair more regularly because of your inspiration. It's nice to see from your example that caring for Type 4 hair can be simple and straightforward, efficient and pleasurable. I love my Type 4 hair, which is now about armpit length. By the way, I play relaxing videos daily to unwind before going to sleep, and this one is on that playlist. I truly benefit from your calming voice and peaceful demeanour. Your video is so impactful! :-) God bless you.

[@Ghanaianemprezz]

Thanks for the demo with the fabric steamer

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Emprezz Abena you're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@JaiProdz]

So happy I stumbled onto this channel! I'm watching a bunch of your videos :) your hair is so long!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+JaiProdz, thanks so much for checking out my channel!!!

[@aleciablaylock9671]

Your hair is beautiful and I can only wish for your length! I had never thought about a fabric steamer, had only read reviews and considered the QRedew...this is a game changer for me!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Alecia Blaylock, thank you! Hahahhaha! Glad I could introduce something new. I still plan on trying out one of the dedicated hair streamers to see if it works better.

[@giselevandervelde9755]

I am pretty late joining the natural enthousiast KZbin community. I have just discovered your channel and this clip of yours. Wow wow and wow. You are breaking stereotype saying Black hair can not grow Beyond collar bones. Your hair is my goal. Thanks for sharing your steaming technique. Wow, I am stalking you as from now gorgeous sis.😍😍😍

[@pregnantlesbian]

I bought this exact steamer. I got it from Kohl's 49.00 , 30% off and I had $15. Kohl's cash. I paid about $23. I love it. Makes my hair feel good

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Glad to hear you like it!

[@samgaitor7273]

Do you use spring water in the steamer of distilled?

[@msv3630]

@@samgaitor7273 You have to use distilled.

[@empress3335]

had shorts styles for some time but i have decided to grow back my natural hair and keep it natural you have inspired me ! my hair is fast growing so am super excited! !!thanks so much #queen.😘😘

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Sharmila Moore, yay! Best of luck on your journey! 😊

[@sequnacollins6861]

the fabric steamer is cheaper than the real hand held Q-Redew steamer. from what I see

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+sequna collins, awesome! Another plus! I like the finger attachment things on the qredew though. That's what makes me want to get it!

[@annettemint]

Your hair!!! 😍😍

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+annettemint thanks!

[@sadieguenther1948]

Did you just put water in the steamer?

[@nythebest1]

Such beautiful hair! Would love to achieve this length one day. Btw, hope you don't find this weird or anything, but I love how full your lips are!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+nythebest1 awww, thank you so much! Hahaha, it's so funny you say that about my lips because as I kid that was always what I was most self conscious about. In any case, I don't find it weird at all and thank you so much! ☺️

[@davidabraxton6286]

nana adjoa yu know what, i was also just admiring her beauty and her lips are just full and gorgeous. ill give anyone their comments and she dserves it to the max. amazing. ..many white women often pay big bucks for lip injection and still cant get it right. I hope she also doesn't think im weird but im just giving her an compliment.

[@introvertstravel9770]

First, you have incredibly beautiful hair! Second, I never would've thought of using a fabric steamer. I have a standing steamer and love it, but sometimes I need something quicker and less cumbersome. So glad you did this video. Do you mind putting the steamer you used in the description box?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Introverts Travel, thank you! My thoughts exactly - I love using something handheld. And yes, I'll try to put the steamer info in the description box later today. Thanks for watching!

[@t.kuykendall517]

And your pretty blouse is still in tact. Lol. Enjoyed this vid.

[@cat3375]

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!

[@jasmined513]

I really appreciate you sharing this video. I was looking for a hair steamer.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Jay Marie, you are so welcome!

[@caramelcocoa234]

Omg I have had this steamer for so long I never thought to use it!!!!! Subscribed!!!!!'

[@sameerasalah2006]

Beautiful hair 😘😘❤️❤️and thanks for the idea...

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thanks so much Sameera!

[@laquiarodriguez6117]

Wonderful idea and gorgeous hair!!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+La Quia Rodriguez, thank you!

[@bzleeh9042]

Great idea! Never thought about a fabric steamer. 😊😊😊

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+bzlee H thanks! It worked super well

[@herlucidsky]

This steamer seems more practical compared to the other steamers i've seen. Very clever idea to use a fabric steamer. How long have you been steaming your hair? I think I may consider this if it will help me save a significant amount of time during my detangling sessions.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+herlucidsky, I started steaming my hair more recently, like over the last several months. It has definitely helped me save time for sure as well as unnecessary breakage from dryness.

[@htrfdes]

Your hair is gorgeous! I bought 1 today!

[@herFLYness79]

I've never used one..maybe I should try it.

[@natashajefferson447]

I realize u use a fabric steamer to steam ur hair. it really isn't anything different from an ordinary hair steamer is it? bet it was cheaper too.

[@ceresida]

Thank you for your video! How is steaming different from spraying a curl-refresher product or plain water? My son got coily hair so I am trying to absorb all the good tricks and knowledge. Thanks!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+ceresida I like to think of it like a deep conditioning treatment since you are adding the heat component (i.e sort of like sitting under the dryer with a shower cap on after washing and applying conditioner for that extra bit of deep conditioning effect).

[@akeaw658]

The water droplets from steam are smaller and penetrate the hair shaft much more easily than regular-sized water droplets. Some hair types, specifically low-porosity, have difficulty receiving regular water and would therefore benefit GREATLY from steaming.

[@shaytaylormade5244]

Why u can't use regular steamer with a plastic bag over hair I'm going to try that I heard the hair steamer are expensive

[@shaytaylormade5244]

My bad u did use fabric steamer

[@Coilygirlzworld]

I'm subscribing so glad I found your channel!!:-). I love the way you take your time with your hair. I don't mind watching you do your hair. I know it must sound strange but, you just make me want to do my own hair. No lie! BTW thank you for the hair (clothes) steamer tip. I'm purchasing one tomorrow!

[@cat3375]

Thanks for the info! I will be using my fabric steamer.

[@Serenityblu23]

How much water does it hold?

[@livferocious3946]

Okay, so I'm not crazy for thinking this could work lol thanks for the video!

[@natalieviviaspence]

Hi, new subbie. I love your hair. I've been natural for 3.5 years. My hair is long but not as long as yours. I noticed I have really think roots along the hair shaft but when it gets closer to the ends it is a lot thinner than the rest of my hair. What do you recommend. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[@ah-ss7he]

That thing looks like something from Starwars Lmaoo ❤️

[@NaptuRo90]

Do you use usually keep twists or braids in you hair that long for 4 weeks? If so how often do you wash and detangle your hair?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+NaptuRo90 Yea, I definitely leave twists/braids in for that long or even longer sometimes. I don't have a regular wash routine but I'd say I typically wash and detangle every 2 weeks to 1 month. I'd love to do it more often but it can be so time consuming sometimes.

[@NaptuRo90]

Efficiently Natural okay great, thank you so much for your feedback

[@CherlanaCilantro]

great video. I bought that steamer for my hair and i like that one better than other fabric steamers. the temperature is definitely not too hot when on the lowest setting. i tried 2 other steamers and they would drip boiling water, would be super hot and would go in all different directions. Do you think you would try the steam flat irons in the future?

[@nancystanford427]

Hair so beautiful! Would you do wash day routine video?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Nancy Stanford, thank you! I certainly can!!! On my to do list.

[@kinderswat5337]

hello what your porosity please?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Kinder Swat, probably low porosity

[@kinderswat5337]

Efficiently Natural okk thanks

[@samgaitor7273]

Hi, loved the video. I have a question about the garment steamer. The instructions says to use distilled water, but I wanted to know if you used distilled water or spring water in for the garment steamer?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

I just used regular tap water

[@ForDollzzOnly]

where did you get that steamer from?

[@miss675]

I love your hair and I just subscribed to your channel; I can't wait to see the video that you post about "tips for growth"...!!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thanks so much Chalita! I will definitely be posting that video soon.

[@curli-lettey4319]

Have you used a scalp massager? your hair is healthy and already very long, just wanted to know if that was included in your hair regimen as well.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+curli-lettey, yes! I actually just recently started using one and I love it! It hasn't always been part of my regimen though.

[@cameronchristina22]

Have you ever used henna before

[@lovelyflower1130]

How often do u steam your hair today?

[@variennecloete9032]

Can i borrow you my scalp. i too want long hair...

[@eugeniasalmon8182]

I been using the clothing steamer for two years, only. 20 dollars

[@lovelyflower1130]

How often do u steam?

[@cw2409]

I may have to just make a hothead. I have too many back problems to hold my arms up.

[@mintadan6076]

This is lovely.

[@thebeastandthewest5191]

Do you wash your hair after steaming ?

[@kiarafiorino7364]

How long have u been growing your hair

[@MsCandyniki]

Hi.....I'm new to your channel....your hair is beautiful!!!.....have you been natural all your life? If not how long did it take for you to grow it out this long?.........February make it 2 years for me😊 when stretched I'm about armpit length..........goal for now is a little past bra strap length

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thank you so much! I actually started my natural hair journey in 2009. I was relaxed all my life until then. I slowly transitioned from a relaxer without big chopping. Congrats on 2 years being natural! That's quite a bit of growth in 2 years so you must be doing something right! Thanks so much for checking out my channel - I'll be doing a hair journey video soon, so hopefully that helps answer a few questions.

[@mariedeborahsmith711]

hi, your hair is sooo awesome. how did you retain your length?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+Marie Smith, thank you so much! Check out my video on growing long natural hair for tips on retaining length

[@Glad2BGolden]

What does this do for your hair? What are the benefits?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

+TruthFan, I go into a bit more detail about the benefits at the very beginning of the video.
