loreal steampod - any good for a leftie?

Does anyone have a loreal steampod that could answer my question? I see the straightener has to be used a particular way so the steam and keratin works properly but I can't work out if this is going to be difficult to do left handed. I have looked at some of the tutorials that are all by right handed people and am still baffled.

I didn't think this would ever be an issue until I tried a friends babyliss pro curl and couldn't use it very well as it is designed for right handed people. Thanks

  • I have a L'Oreal steam pod and absolutely love it. It is better than my GHD's. I am right handed however.
    It has a comb running down the outside edge of the plates which would be on the inside for a left handed person. Not sure that that would make any difference in my opinion.
    I asked my left handed son what he thought, and bearing in mind he's a man, he thought it was ok. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I did some trawling and one amazon review said no use and a YouTube comment asked if a left handed version was available. Surely the rest of people who have used them can't all be right handed lol. Thanks for your feedback, its now back on the Xmas wishlist
