Does the steam really work?

Yes. The steam surrounding your hair does two jobs: it shields the hair from direct contact with the hot plates, and it gives the hair moisture to absorb as it cools.

It's a different idea, not just a different name. A regular straightener can give great results but easily scorches hair, which is why many people avoid them. Steam Magic™ is built around caring for your hair while you style it: excellent straightening and curling, while replenishing moisture instead of stripping it.

The iron converts the water on the surface of damp hair into steam that wraps around the hair throughout the straightening pass, protecting it from the heat. Because the steam surrounds the hair for longer, the hair can absorb it as vapour — leaving it straight, soft, smooth, glossy and cool to the touch.

Three things work together:

• Fast, constant heat. Our patented, low-heat-loss module keeps the plates at a steady temperature, so it can keep turning water into steam through the entire pass. Most straighteners can't transfer heat quickly enough.
• Water-holding plates. A special surface treatment lets the plates hold an even film of water until it has all become steam.
• Ribbed plates. A raised structure keeps hair taut with minimal contact with the hot surface, so water fully evaporates around the strands.

Many steam concepts struggle to produce enough steam to matter: heating is too slow, the plates can't hold water evenly, and the hair is still heated mainly by plate contact. Steam Magic™ was engineered specifically to generate a large, continuous volume of steam right at the hair, so the steam does the protecting.

The working plates use an aerospace-grade material with a proprietary surface treatment. It's harder and more resistant to wear and corrosion than common painted or titanium plates, and it has a micro-porous structure that helps water evaporate evenly from the surface.

Yes. In third-party lab testing, hair treated with the Steam Magic™ process went from 6.4% to 18% moisture content. For reference, healthy hair typically holds around 10%.

Yes — damp hair is where it shines. You can go straight from towel-drying to styling, which saves time and spares your hair a round of blow-drying.

Wet enough that strands stick together in bundles, but not dripping onto your clothes.

Glide slowly from roots to ends — slower when hair is very wet, faster when it's drier. You'll know it's right when the first pass turns one large bundle into many small ones, and the second pass separates those into individual strands. See the step-by-step guide.

Yes. Whatever your hair type, you can style and moisturize at the same time. Use the temperature guide to pick a setting for your hair and section size.

Yes. Moisturize first with the steam method, then curl as you would with a regular flat iron. Hair stays hydrated through the curl instead of drying out.

Every day — after a shower, to rescue a style you slept on, to soften dry bangs and ends, or to restyle several times on a big day without adding damage.
