It’s time to move full-steam ahead. L’Oréal Professionnel’s SteamPod 3.0 is presenting three hairstyles for summer, including three complimentary accessories with every purchase.

Hair straighteners have come a long way in the past decade. New technology ensures locks are not only sleek and free from frizz, but also healthy and protected. From poker-straight hair to bouncy curls, the SteamPod 3.0 — as the name suggests — uses steam instead of traditional hotplate irons. The result? A hair-safe treatment with 78% less damage, styling twice as fast with a glossy finish that you could only dream of.

A flat iron and styler, the SteamPod 3.0 is suitable for all hair types: featuring a water reservoir that you can fill with demineralised water. With three temperature settings, you can adjust the tool depending on your hair type. Its wide plates work wonders for those with curly and frizzy locks. Working with some of L'Oréal Professionnel’s best-selling styling products, the label’s Regional Education Manager, Charbel Khoury walks us through three easy looks that ensure you never have a bad hair day in the midst of humidity. The three looks feature the complimentary accessories with SteamPod 3.0 purchases, available until stocks last.

Look #1: Glass Hair

Modern and chic, straight hair may seem simple — but keeping it sleek throughout the day can be a challenge. Working with L'Oréal Professionnel’s SteamPod Steam-Activated Cream for Thick Hair, Michele massages it into the locks before parting into sections then brushing it and running the SteamPod through the hair. A quick and easy style, it complements the brand’s SteamPod Ends Protecting Concentrated Smoothing Serum that brings a natural shine and ensures frizz stays at bay. Head out with a headband to finish it off with a chic statement.

Look #2: Loose Waves 

Curls and wavy hair are made simple with the SteamPod. Follow Charbel as he brushes the hair into sections before prepping with the Tecni Art Pli Thermo-Modelling Spray, which adds body and discipline to your locks. Running the SteamPod from the roots until eye-level, Michele then turns the tool anticlockwise away from the head — allowing the hair to feed through the straighter. The result is soft curls that can be brushed into even softer waves with a comb or using your fingers. Add some embellished slides to complete the look. 

Look #3: The Ponytail

Looking to achieve an updo? It’s all about the details. Sweep the hair into a high ponytail for a modern feel, following it with the SteamPod serum to neaten up any bumps and stray hairs on the crown of the head. Next, use L'Oréal Professionnel’s Tecni Art Beach Waves Texturizing Salt Spray to add some texture before running the SteamPod through, defining curls and waves. Team it up with a ribbon for an added touch of femininity.
