10-Second Hacks Using L'Oréal Professionnel Steampod
Hair.com partnered with celebrity hairstylist Bradley Leake to show us quick ways to use the L'Oréal Steampod to make styling your hair easier.
Hack 1: Lock-In Flyaways
Ensure a smooth finish every time, even in the hardest to reach places like the nape of your neck while sporting a cute half-up half-down style. With your Steampod clamped shut and holding it horizontally, swipe the edges of the metal plates in the direction you want hairs to lay flat. Apply any smoothing products prior to lock any flyaways in places.
Hack 2: Perfectly Plaited Braid
Sleek braided styles are trending right now. To make sure you nail the trend run your Steampod over your finished braid for the sleekest plait you’ve ever laid eyes on.
Bonus: Leake also showed us how to remove the plastic elastic holding your braid together by clamping down on the elastic for 10 seconds with your Steampod. Viola! Your braid is instantly unraveled.
Hack 3: Undone Waves
The ever-so-popular three-prong wavers can feel intimidating for anyone who isn’t a hair novice. Enter: The versatility of the Steampod. Depending on the size of the wave you want and wave pattern, grab a section of hair and use your hands to craft a wave. Take your Steampod and clamp down on your wave for 10 seconds. Repeat this process down the section, making sure to alternate the direction of your makeshift waves. Continue throughout your entire head until you have the undone waves of your dreams.
