Hair STREAMER!

I have had a dryer in my relaxed days for years, a really good brand too >>see here<< I used my dryer for dryer my roller-set and steam with a plastic cap for years. Then once I decide to transition and started doing more research I became more and more intrigued by a steamer.

The anchor of the Hercules Sägemann brand is the *vulcanized 100% natural rubber or Ebonite combs.

These Black Masterpieces are hand-sawn, hand-cut and hand-polished!  If the comb bears 'Hercules Sägemann' embossed in real gold, it is the best in the world, the best of its kind, and fulfills the highest professional demands.

Magic Star Rake Set...THE BLACK MASTERPIECES!

Magic Star Rake Set INCLUDES:

  • Magic Star Jumbo Rake

  • Magic mini Star Rake

Whether with lots of volume, curly or smooth, with or without texture, styling SSA50297combs make an individual look possible.  Particularly when smoothing the hair, it is important that the comb is absolutely burr-free.  Only in this way is it possible to guarantee that the hair cuticle is preserved. The width, length and shape of the tooth determines the type of texture and gives the individual look.  It is a friend to your hair and scalp.

The ideal styling comb for every look!

  • Made by hand from 100% Vulcanized Natural Hard Rubber
  • Tried and tested design with perfect ergonomics
  • Twist-resistant and yet flexible
  • The teeth are hand-sawn, hand-cut, and hand-polished to perfection!
  • Non-porous (will not support the growth of mold or mildew); guaranteeing hygiene
  • Chemical and heat resistant 
  • Antistatic (prevents fly-away hair)
  • Very smooth and gentle to the hair and scalp due to rounded tips and sides
  • Very good gliding ability when combing through the hair

 

The TRUTH:        When I return home from my trip abroad and I saw my package from Hercules Sagemann, I was over the moon. I have heard great things about these comb and their benefits to the hair in comparison to regular BSS store combs.

When I open the package and took the combs out of the protective packaging, fist thing I notice is how smooth they were, then the seamless teeth. The end of each teeth are kind-a round, semi triangular shaped ends.

When I use it to detangle on my conditioner saturated hair, it slide through nicely and easy, it took with it just shed hair. I did not see or experience any breakage or pieces of hair from using these combs so far.

I have nothing bad to say about the quality or use of these combs and or make of combs.

Aphrodite Super Standing Dryer

Aphrodite Super Standing Dryer


Aphrodite Super Standing Dryer is made for professionals by professionals. It is the most durable and trust worthy dryer ever created by Aphrodite. It's 20 year history within the industry speaks for itself. Long lasting and powerful is the pride of the Aphrodite range.


1. 1000 watts of pure power
2. Adjustable stand
3. Adjustable hood visor
4. Adjustable thermostat control
5. Automatic timer setting


The TRUTH: I am very pleased with this dryer, I use it to dry when I roller set my hair.
I use it to carry out my DC treat on my hair weekly, I will add my DC conditioner and put on a steam cap/shower cap and then sit under this dryer for say 30 - 40 mins. This baby can get hot as it has variable temperature which I have tried it on almost the setting, maximum heat setting is 70 degrees Celsius, I tend to stick with 50 degrees Celsius.


I believe it is a good option (in comparison to a steamer) as it can dry the hair as well as steaming well by using a steam cap/shower cap. I am not saying that a steamer is not a good option but if you want both benefit in 1 then this dryer is awesome; if you do not have a lot of space and or on a budget then this dryer will fits perfectly into both those criteria.


I am very pleased and chuffed (Brit for being very happy lol). I got it as a Gift **I was cheesing hard** when I unboxed it.
