Wrap at Night
Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a satin pillowcase every night.
Avoid Moisture
Water, humidity, and sweat will cause reversion. Avoid rain and steam.
No Heavy Products
Heavy oils and creams weigh down the style and attract humidity.

The style reverts after your first wash. That is normal and healthy.
We will walk you through how to maintain it before you leave.
Common Questions
Will a silk press damage my hair?
Not if done properly. We use heat protectant and appropriate temperatures. Frequent silk presses (every week) can cause damage over time. We recommend spacing them out.
Will my curls come back?
Yes. A silk press is temporary. Your curls revert after the first wash. It is not a relaxer.
How long does a silk press last?
1-2 weeks depending on how you care for it and your environment. Humidity shortens it.
Can I work out after a silk press?
You can, but sweat will cause reversion. If you plan to work out frequently, a silk press may not be the best choice.
Can I get a silk press if my hair is damaged?
We assess your hair first. If it is too damaged, we may recommend a treatment or decline the service to protect your hair.
Do you do trims?
Yes. A silk press is the best time to trim because your ends are visible and straight.
