L'Oréal Professionnel Paris Steampod Hair Straightener & Styling Tool - Professional Steam Styler For All Hair Types & Textures, 24 Hour Frizz Control, Smooths & Adds Shine

I recently purchased L'Oreal's Steampod Pro 3.0 on Amazon Prime day. At $50 off, it was too good of a deal to pass up. After a few weeks of use, here's my initial feedback.The partnership between L'Oreal and Rowenta to create this product is a good one - they've made a great product. So far, this splurge purchase has been worth every penny.I’m not good at styling my hair, I’m a wash & go type of person. Since I turned 30, my hair gets more unruly, wavier (in the weirdest way) and frizzier every year. Now I have to use a styling tool to tame my hair into presentable style! This SteamPod doesn’t use heat to straighten or curl, it uses steam which is less damaging. It's easy to use despite the larger size. With my old GHD Platinum+ and T3 SinglePass flat irons, my hair got fried despite only using it 2x a week. Not with this baby, and I see similar results -- my wavy, unruly hair is straight, smooth, shiny, and less frizzy after one pass. It also doesn't feel as dry. I have tried two styles so far on my just below shoulder length hair — straight and loose curls. Both easy to do, and the style held up all day in the Bay Area temps. Bonus - it takes less time for me to achieve these looks than if I used a hair dryer and round brush.My only nit and it's a tiny one: Like all steam irons, you need to use distilled water so you avoid mineral build up and damaging your SteamPod.

It’s a great hair straightener. I seem to flat iron my hair in less time using this one,than when I used my Babyliss flat iron. I do think it’s overpriced. Heat level goes to 410. It has a built in comb to keep hair straight as you slide the iron from roots to ends.You NEED TO SLIDE THE BLADES IN THE DIRECTION OF THE ARROWS ON IT or you’ll feel that it’s tugging at your hair when sliding. It’s seems durable and heats up quickly. All in all I like it and even though I paid $250 , I still think it’s overpriced 😁

Bad product! After just a year and a half of use, the flat iron stopped working and suddenly doesn’t heat up. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again. Poor quality for how much I paid! A waste of money!

This thing is amazing. I've seen slight differences between other straighteners, but this one is really and truly much better than anything else I've tried. I had the first gen, which was also good, but heavier and the cable running to the "pod" part was unwieldy. Frankly the whole device was. This one is much easier to maneuver and feels more or less the same as any other straightener. I can use much lower heat on it and still get phenomenal results. I have fine 3b hair and use the lowest setting (350) and I can still do a single pass and get great shiny smooth results. If I use this with Color Wow Dream Coat it looks like I got a keratin treatment AND it can stand up to humidity. This is a product that was absolutely worth the money.A word of warning, ALWAYS use distilled water. I upgraded from the 1.0 to the 2.0 because I thought "I don't have hard water, I can use my sink just a few times it's no big deal!" It is a big deal and ended with my steampod in the trash because it was clogged. ONLY use distilled water, every time, 100% of the time, or it will clog and stop steaming. I've had my 2.0 for 2 years now with heavy use and the steam still works great.

Let me just say that this is the holy grail for people like me, no matter what I use I get some frizz, been coloring my hair for years, some curl, so just naturally dry. Process was use my Dyson hair dryer to remove about 85% of wetness, then dryer brush to finish off the drying/straighten process, then put hair in rollers to finish off smoothing process. Saw this, and thought why not, had about 59.00 bucks in pts. and Amazon was selling it $150. What I did today was again took majority of moisture out with my Dyson, put some of my Kerastase balm in and let it finish air dry, needless to say specially on the crown, there was frizz. So I thought, this is really going to surprise me if it works, sectioned off my hair and started the process, couldn’t believe it one pass and voila smooth hair, Thank you God, always was envious of women that had that moveable hair, and best part it didn’t leave it bone straight, when I got to ends, gave it a twist under, worked perfect. We’ll worth the money for me anyways!

After I accidentally left my loreal steamer, v2, in a hotel, I couldn't live without it so bought a new one. Love it! Easier to use than the v2 pod. I have irish hair, frizzy, curly, this steamer makes my hair smooth and silky. Less damage and I will forever be using this. Works for my hair and fast results! Great item Loreal!!!

I have struggled for years with poofy frizzy half wavy/curly hair. Hair washing days were always the worst. With the Steampod Pro my hair is silky smooth and shiny. NO frizz… NO waves.. and NOCurls… plus the shiny smooth finish lasts… I’m not big on leaving reviews but I had to leave one for this. Can’t go wrong with this purchase.

Great quality product, I always use it after washing my hair and I love it! My hair feels more hydrated.
