One of the main elements that can break, dry out or break the hair fiber is the use –and abuse– of heat tools, such as the dryer, the iron or the curling iron. Yes, high temperatures do not like the health of our hair, but does this mean that we should completely eliminate them from our hair routine? On the contrary, the key is to use a styling accessory that damages the hair as little as possible. Luckily, more and more firms are taking this into account, and of all of them, perhaps the most innovative is Steampod 3.0 by L'Oréal Professionnel, the favorite hair straightener of the influencer Raquel Reitx, quite an expert in beauty, because She became popular for her beauty YouTube channel. As if this were not enough, it is also number one in France – and we already know that French women never fail on these issues – and one of the best valued on Amazon. In fact, we already included it at the time in our ranking of the best straightening irons.
With a score of 4.5 out of 5 on the online sales platform, the great innovation of this styling iron lies in the fact that it uses steam technology. Yes, you read that right, steam. Basically, it is a tool that contains a steam dispenser, which guarantees a constant and homogeneous flow. If we add to this intelligent heat control to adapt to thinner or thicker hair, this translates into straightening twice as fast as usual – that is, fewer passes, less heat, less damage – in a smoother finish. smooth, worthy of a hairdresser, and in hair that is 91% less damaged than with a normal iron, according to a recent study (through an instrumental test after 15 uses). With this system, it helps to protect the hair fiber, the color and the luminosity of the hair, although we can further intensify its care with its smoothing cream –there is a formula for fine hair, and another for thick hair– and its concentrated serum for protect the tips.

For all this, it is why Steampod 3.0 is Raquel Reitx's favorite hair straightener, because as she herself tells, as a beauty prescriber, she is always trying new looks, bleaching and dyeing her hair, and in the end her Hair suffers and dries out, so you need to be able to create different hairstyles without affecting your hair health. But of course, the most important thing is not only that she takes care of her hair, but that she is also comfortable and effective in achieving any look. In addition to straightening, it is perfect as a styling tool to achieve different types of wavy hairstyles. The influencer, for example, tends to bet on smoothing with very natural light waves on the frontal strands of the face. She herself explains how to get her look:
- With damp hair, prep your locks with Steampod's Coarse Hair Smoothing Cream, which is steam-activated for long-term care and heat protection. After applying it, the hair is brushed to better distribute the product.
- With the hair already dry, fill the Steampod 3.0 iron's water container, which will be where the steam with which it is straightened comes from and shapes the hair.
- Pass the iron slowly so that the steam works properly. Its integrated comb helps to shape and untangle the hair during styling, with which we will obtain a more perfect smooth. Also, since its effect is fast, it works on large sections to cover more hair in less time.
- When ironing your hair, always try to smooth the sections inwards so that the hair is more polished.
- Since she has a lot of hair, to give a bit of volume, instead of making waves throughout her hair, she only creates two natural waves in the frontal strands. To do this, work from the mid-lengths to the ends, using the iron downwards, always looking towards the floor. Waving both sides is even easier thanks to the 360º rotating cord of the Steampod 3.0 iron.
- To finish off the style, Raquel applies a few drops of jojoba oil to the ends of the hair to hydrate it and give it more shine. . Using very little product, rub the remaining oil through the two wavy sections in the front area, which will also help them last longer.
By following these simple steps, super long hair is guaranteed. And the hairstyle worthy of a hairstylist, too.
