Additional Info

USE OF STEAMERS FOR CLOTHING
  • Note on HAIR
    • Heat and steam/moisture can loosen/straighten curls created with hot tools and cause loss of curl definition or expansion of hair shape for naturally curly/textured hair
  • Note on LASHES
    • Heat and steam/moisture can straighten lashes after curling and mascara application (especially for lashes that are naturally straight and/or downturned)
  • WHAT TO DO
    • Assign someone to steam clothing who has not yet had hair and makeup completed
