Do you add water to this model to produce steam while straightening?

No, I just straightened without product, I did however add product such as some kind of heat protectant (about quarter size portion) in palm of hand and massage through hair after straightening. For me and my granddaughter this works.

No, you do not need to add water. If you hair is wet, the plates get plenty warm to produce steam.

Yes. There are holes on 2 sides of the lid, one side has smaller holes the the other. Turning the lid will keep most of the steam from escaping.

Hi Dorothy, the unit will produce steam when the steam trigger on the back is pressed.

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

While ironing, my iron stops producing steam, then I know I need to add water. I really dislike the fact that it is very difficult to see the water level. If I had realized this before I purchased the iron I would NOT HAVE bought it!

There is no steaming function, you have to use it with dry hair, and personally for me worked better that curling iron;)

Yes, you can. I've straightened, curled and washed mine. Just make sure you take care of it like normal hair and use conditioner on it and I use flat iron spray to protect it before I straighten and curl it.

i dont, but Im sure you could. this thing pumps out steam. The attachments fall apart quickly.(brushes etc)

No, but there are other ways to do this, usually involving a steam iron - you can find some ideas on DIY websites.

I would suggest warm set rollers and steamer with styling brush to straighten. If you have a cheap jumbo curling iron, the low setting will not melt it. You should be able to touch the barrel with your hand. I would strand test. So far I have only used the electric set of rollers and comb using my fingers not a brush. You can shake it and go.

There is a little steam icon above the cotton setting. Only above that setting will it steam. Below that setting you should not put water in the iron as it will leak.

No. This is the worst steamer of all time and is a waste of money. It doesn't steam anything.

Hi Susie, No, and that is the problem with this one that I bought. After about 6 weeks, I did have to hold on to the button that is 3/4 down to keep the steam going. Prior to that, the steam came out on its' own. Very comfortable on my back, and the triangular shape gets into corners nicely.

No the steam is only warm. The way the steam is created is with the heating element inside the water. Water must be heated to a certain temperature to create steam, so really unsure if cold steam is even a possibility. If you use the ozone option, it adds a third oxygen molecule to the compound, thus producing fuller steam and having an antiseptic effect. Ozone is really great for acne prone skin.

In the directions, it says you can use it as a vertical steamer if you pull down on the item being steamed. I have not tried it myself but this is a great iron and steams well on a flat surface.

You could do that, but it irons really well, so I would suggest that with some steam.

Yes, it can be used on damp hair without a problem. This straightener also has the option to produce steam if your hair dries out too much while straightening. This feature also minimizes damage to your hair if you straighten your hair on a regular basis...
