I had to do some research on "hair steaming" and aside from professional apparatus used in hair salons, at home this means wrapping your hair with a warm, damp towel, a towel which you have soaked in hot water or simply putting on a shower cap after you have applied any of the dry hair recipes.
What hair steaming does is that it opens up the pores and allows the scalp to absorb all the good nutrients.
