What is a silk press?
A silk press is a method of straightening and smoothing natural hair without using chemicals. Several silk press salon in Atlanta offer this professional treatment. After washing and conditioning, your natural hair is blow-dried using a heat protectant. If your ends need a trim, that is typically done here, after blow-drying. Then your stylist will use either a flat iron or straightening comb to get your hair silky straight.
While straightening, many stylists add curls to the hair also. The final method for a silk press is brushing the hair into a wrap (a technique of brushing the hair in one direction until it lays flat against the head) and sealing the wrap with saran plastic wrap. After 10-20 minutes under the dryer, your hair is unwrapped, leaving you with a silk press.
A silk press can last for two weeks to a month, depending on your daily activities. Wrapping your hair will extend your press. However, since your hair is not chemically treated, exposure to humidity, sweating, working out, or swimming may cause your hair to revert back to its natural state. If you will be doing any and want to maintain your silk press, you should wrap your hair and tie it down with a silk scarf. If you will be swimming, tie your hair down with the silk scarf and wear a waterproof swim cap.
