  No need to go through aggressive straightening: the silk press smooths afro hair without damaging it. We tell you all about this new straightening technique for frizzy hair.

  What is the silk press?

  The silk press is a reversible and gentle straightening method for black wavy hair wig. It produces smooth hair that is as soft as silk without damaging its natural structure.

   

  How to make a silk press?

  To perform a silk press, it is essential to prepare your hair well beforehand. So offer them a good bath of vegetable oil (olive, coconut, jojoba, etc.) and use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of all their impurities.

  Then apply a conditioner enriched with silicones to nourish the hair fiber in depth and be able to easily disentangle your lengths. Once your hair is clean and dry, carefully detangle it with a coarse-toothed comb. If knots resist, do not pull! You just need to gently undo them by hand.

  Finally, apply a thermo-protective treatment with silk proteins on your lengths and equip yourself with a straightener with ceramic plates that you will pass through your lengths strand by strand. This step will take time: so be patient by not hesitating to ask a friend for help if necessary.

  Tip: Use a fine-tooth comb to hold and detangle strands as you straighten them.

   

  Maintain your smoothing

  Your silk press can last up to two to three weeks as long as you don't get your hair wet. To maintain it, regularly moisturize your hair with a nourishing serum and tie a silk scarf around your head before going to sleep: this will prevent friction against the pillow. With all this, you have the dream mane!
