How To Main A Silk Press?

Do you know how to keep your frizzy hair neat? Many African American women are troubled by their frizzy hair. Many times, they don't know how to brush their hair. In addition to wear wigs and make dreadlocks, there is a comfortable way to make your hair smooth, which is silk press. If you're looking for chemical-free way to straighten your hair, this salon treatment is an ideal way to straighten curly and frizzy hair without any damage. But many people don't know how to care for silk press, and there are several ways to make your silk press last longer. 

I. How long does the silk press last?

The professional styling method known as silk press, which is a non-chemical process that transforms naturally textured hair into a super-softened state, allowed it to be easily straightened by thermal styling. 

Silk press can make natural hair look relaxed in a short time. It will make your natural hair looks very smooth, silky and straight.However, the benefit of this style is that if done properly, your hair should be restored after washing.

The lifetime of silk press depends on a lot of factors. If you live an active lifestyle, you'll sweat faster in your daily life than someone who sits all day. If you're the kind of person who rarely perspires, you are so lucky.Your silk press hair will probably last until your next shampoo, so it could be anywhere from a week to a month. It can sometimes last longer as long as the hair doesn't get wet. If your hair makes any contact with water, humidity, or the moisture of sweat, it will begin to transform into natural frizz. 

A silk press can usually last 2-3 weeks, just depending on how maintained it is, and if you make sure your hair is wrapped at night and avoid water and steam, it will last. Steam certainly includes showers, but even boiling noodles or steaming vegetables can cause problems, and any warm and moisture-filled condition will restore your hair to your natural texture. 

II. Tips to make your silk press last longer

However, as I mentioned before, your silk press hair usually only lasts about 2-3 weeks at most. So here are tips to make your silk press hair last longer. Don't let all your hard work go to waste and don't let your hair shrink before you can show it off. Check out these tips on how to maintain your silk pressure to help your style go further. 

1. Trim split ends regularly

It's easier to see those split ends when your hair is straightened, so make sure your hair is trimmed when you decide to make the silk press hairstyle. 

2. Use hair products wisely

In order to maintain this style, you must skip washing your hair. As soon as you wash your hair, it will return to its natural state. Don't wash it for a week or two, but no longer than that. To keep your hair elastic and silky, avoid using too many products, which can cause hair to look heavy. It is recommended to invest in a good dry shampoo to help maintain volume in the later stages of the hairstyle.

3. Choose the least amount of curls

Curls that have elasticity all over your hair are fun, but often only last a day or two. If you want your style to last longer, try curling only the very end of your hair and keeping the rest straight. 

All hot styling can do some damage to your hair. However, in terms of curls and natural straightening methods, the silk press process is the least likely to cause damage. This is because silk pressing is done only occasionally, it avoids harsh chemicals and uses nourishing. Silk press will protect your frizzy hair from heat damage as much as possible.

4. Avoid moisture

Try to avoid any moisture in your silk press hair. The smallest amount of moisture and/or humidity in the air can make your silk press hair look frizzy and puffy. Keep in mind that a steamy shower will also bring your hair back to normal. Wear a scarf covered with a shower cap to the shower if you need to. Keep the scarf to make it easier to wrap around the shower cap. Plus, it absorbs some of the moisture that would otherwise reach your hair.

5. Wrap your hair

Wrap it in a silk scarf at night. First of all, brush your hair. Then, wrap the scarf in a circular motion around your hair until it stops hanging down. A paddle comb is great for this technique. Tie your hair with a scarf every night before you go to bed. Encounter inclement weather, such as wind, humidity, which has the potential to damage your hair. Wrap it to protect your hair from environmental factors.
