HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A SILK PRESS?
Silk press can last with proper care up to two to three weeks. But as with any straightened style, you need to factor in the weather.
Longevity is dependent on a person’s lifestyle and the climate. I don’t recommend getting a silk press when there’s over 25% humidity, it will be a waste of time and money.
Minimize your hair's exposure to water, suggested wrapping the hair at night, wearing a shower cap and definitely no swimming.
SILK PRESS HAIR TIPS
Keep in mind once you have a silk press, or before you even have one. If you want a silk press so glossy it could catch a satellite’s attention, you need to factor in how you’re taking care of your hair before you sit in a stylist’s chair.
