Straight, waved or curled, powered by steam. The L'Oréal Professionnel SteamPod 4.0 is an all-in-one professional steam styler that straightens, waves and curls using patented steam technology. A continuous flow of dry steam smooths the hair fibre as you style, so you get sleek, shiny results with less damage than a standard flat iron. It's L'Oréal Professionnel's most ergonomic SteamPod yet.
Key Features, Explained
-
Patented steam technology: A continuous flow of dry steam (0.8 g per minute) smooths the hair surface for visibly sleeker hair. L'Oréal Professionnel reports up to 95% less damage than a standard styler.
-
Wider floating ceramic plates: About 11% wider than SteamPod 3. You can get roughly 30% closer to the roots, and the floating upper plate grips every hair type evenly.
-
Curl-locking guide: Warms gently to about 100°C to help set defined, longer-lasting curls and waves.
-
3 heat settings (180°C, 200°C, 210°C): 180°C for fine hair, up to 210°C for thick or frizzy hair. Smart heat control monitors plate temperature constantly.
-
3 steam-optimizing combs: Fine, intermediate and wide-tooth combs spread steam evenly for your hair type.
Why We Love It

One tool: straighten, wave and curl.

How to Use

Pro Stylist Tip
Never use tap water, especially in Calgary, where the water is hard. Mineral build-up can damage the steam system. Keep a jug of distilled water next to your styling station.
