At Silkpress Express we highly recommend these steps below especially if you have recently received a Silk press.
Avoid Humidity & Excess Moisture
During the duration of having a silk press, you want to avoid unnecessary moisture and humidity by all means. If you don’t want your silk press to look like a hot
mess, it is best to avoid getting any moisture in your hair. Ensure that your hair is properly wrapped up in a satin scarf before bed and before any activity that may require perspiration. It is also important to use products that fight against humidity during the styling process. This will help to reduce reverting and swelling.
Use Minimal Product
When we say avoid, AVOID using too much product on your silk press because it weighs the hair down. All you need is to ensure that your hair is properly moisturized and you are good to go. If you want to apply any product to your silk press, ensure that you are using the right products.
Reapplying heat to the hair
Your silk press was already achieved through the use of heat tools, so you might be tempted to extend the life of the silk press by applying more heat tools yourself. It is best not to go this route because if you are constantly using heat on your hair will create a frazzled and fried look over time. If in the event you must use a heat tool, use it sparingly and only on low heat.
Avoid leaving hair out before bed and wrapping it up
Wrapping your hair protects your hair from environmental factors such as humidity, harsh weather, and wind, all of which take away from the shine and body of the silk press. Keep your hair wrapped up so it can prolong the life of your silk press.
Avoid split ends, trim regularly
It's a good idea to get a trim before doing a silk press. Straggly split ends can inhibit the effortless movement of silky smooth hair—which is a major perk to this hairstyle!
A silk press is the least of all heat styling processes to cause damage to natural hair. It avoids harsh chemicals, using heat-protecting and nourishing products to hydrate and protects your hair. This is why it is a very popular hair-styling method!
