Silk Presses for Healthier Hair & Growth!?! (Very detailed with great Tips!)

Hey Loves, hope you enjoyed this silk press video. My intentions are to make people less afraid of using heat and to show how it’s helped my hair. I silk press my hair every 2 weeks but I do take breaks, do treatments and trims consistently! Any questions, leave them in the comment section.

Come THROUGH sis. It's the zero split ends for me.

[@shelltalkshair]

I really hate split or thin ends lol

[@JuJuForREAL]

My hair is the happiest and healthiest when it’s straightened. Period.

[@ellie5373]

I wash, deep condition, and flat iron with ceramic plates weekly. I would push it to 10 days but I work out almost daily. When your hair is used to heat, you won't need to put the temperature hot by the way. I go up to 360 MAX with one pass and that's only when I want it bonnnneeee straight. Washing hair is also easier because my roots stay flat all week and don't get all knotted up by wash day. Natural styles are a no for me because of the tangling that happens all week. My hair is long and to my waist, has been all my life and I been flat ironing my hair for 10 years.

[@leneeeonme]

Hi! Do you use a clarifying shampoo each time?

[@raym3735]

Same question ​@@leneeeonme

[@cairegrigsby7682]

Starting my silk press journey this Friday! I have 4c hair and I’m tired. Like I’m at the point where I’m willing to pay someone to care for my hair. I’m not tired because of my hair type, but because I’m just so lazy at this point. I have strong and long hair, but I wanna start treating myself by allowing someone to touch my hair!

[@mochamonie8726]

Same girl i have 4c hair and decided to just keep my hair stretched out straight for at least once a month. My hair seems to retain length better like this. Im over trying to maintain my natural curls

[@AngelMendoza-to4gd]

Have you noticed a difference in health ?

[@crystalbrownmua]

Great video! My hair is the same length and I do silk presses weekly. I trim regularly and I actually use the same iron. I found my hair actually retains more length wearing it straight. I haven’t tried Olaplex yet, but it’s been on my list.

[@mmkay4920]

is your curl pattern still in tact?

[@crystalbrownmua]

@@mmkay4920 Absolutely not! LOL. I’d say my curls are 90% there. If you silk press weekly for years like I have, good luck keeping your curls! I clearly gave up on wearing my hair curly anyway. I prioritized length retention. I’m surprised my hair reverts back, but I shouldn’t be because I use protein and moisture treatments, always heat protection, and my iron is never too hot. And I always do a clarifying shampoo!! OMG, that is so important for my hair, I don’t want heat on hair that has left-over product from last week (recipe for damage!). But please do not silk press as often as I do if you love to wear curls most of the time!

[@mmkay4920]

@@crystalbrownmua thank you so much for the reply! I will take your advice :)

[@crystalbrownmua]

@@mmkay4920 I’m not a professional hairstylist, I would recommend seeing a pro at least once to understand your hair type and how much heat it can handle. Plus there’s other factors like the type of blow dryer and flat iron you specifically should use. 😊

[@enari09]

I'm sure everyone who read your comment wants or would like to see your process 🙂😉

[@frankiem4062]

Girl...please say it louder. I have tailbone length hair and my hair starts to break off when I leave it in it's natural state or do twist outs and braid outs. I straighten once, sometimes twice a month and my hair has never loved anything better. I been to tailbone length TWICE. I use olaplaex and Redken Acidic bonding line. I have type 4 hair.

[@rashffee]

Yes. It’s because if you hair is straight, your natural oils are able to get to the end of your strands to prevent breakage. I may try this.

[@yougotgamesonyourphone6947]

@@rashffee yep, this is why so many people who wore blowouts a lot always had longer hair

Your hair is absolutely beautiful!! So healthy. I am natural and bra strap length I heat press once a month. My hair has no heat damage either. My friends and family ask me all the time if that’s all my hair 🤣😂and what’s my secret. I keep it trimmed moisturized and heat pressed it grows like crazy!

How do you moisturize your hair while it’s straightened?

Wow! Your hair is amazing! So beautiful! Thank you for including us! ✨

this came out pretty!. i usually do 350-375 and 2 passes using the chase method; and i have never been met with heat damage.

I use 400 on virgin natural hair. Once every 3 months. But I'm thinking of increasing

Wow ur hair is absolutely beautiful ❤️ I only wear blow outs and my hair is little above waist length and since I stuck to blowouts my hair grows like crazy and grows evenly. I’m going to try ur method next time I do my hair!! Thnx babes new sub

I found my new hair style! I am so excited to get started. ❤❤❤❤❤I have been wearing braids for a year getting them redone every 2 mos. I did this bc I was doing silk presses at a salon and it was way too flat and gave auntie 😅! I’m still young lol I don’t to look like that. Anyway I’m so excited! Love your hair 😊

[@jlovesj3335]

After you silk press. Put sponge rollers in over night. Thank me later

[@anderiafrank4116]

I bought the whole line! I want to try silk pressing my hair once a month or once every other month. I bought the clarifying shampoo too because I remembered you mentioned in another video the regular shampoo isn't cleansing, but more moisturizing. I hope this system can help me maintain my curls too!

Yeah I been religiously flat ironing and bought the whole system. My hair reverts with a vengeance lol love olaplex

[@jadenaaliyah]

Do I have to do the olaplex treatment every time I straighten it?

[@chelsienicole8399]

Gorgeous! I have a question. My hair is thickest at the back and thin at the front. What do you recommend? I'm able to cut the back blunt but because of the shorter, thinner front, it can't be cut the same.

[@nikeminaj6669]

Get 3 layers, shortest at the top so you can keep your weaker strands trimmed shorter but to retain the length & strength of the bottom

[@rainparker1890]

love the video and your channel , but I doubt I would ever do 25 in a year. i like the versatility that comes from other styles such as box braids, braidout/twistouts, no-heat flexi rod/roller sets, hell even a good sew in….I would get very bored with this routine every 2 weeks for 12 months. also natural girls remember you do not need DIRECT HEAT to achieve straight hair.

[@libfuzzy4629]

Hey i love your videos, i blow dried and flat ironed my hair recently and my ends feel stiff and raggedy but they don't look sparse is that a sign that i need a trim or is it normal?

[@shelltalkshair]

Thank you, did you just take out a protective style prior to straightening it?

[@MurdaMeal37]

Also what type of conditioner can you mix with the 4 in 1? Thank you!

[@lifeascassandra5758]

She said you can use any of your favorite deep conditioners.

[@spooksya]

If its at 400 for the flat iron…do you have that burnt hair smell? That is currently what I don’t like when getting pressed from the pros. I don’t ask them how they are doing they job and I have only had two this year but that is like the turn off currently for me. Thank you for all this lovely info!

[@michelleeja412]

This video title is misleading. Silk Presses for Healthier Hair&Growth!?!. Yeah ok. Listen everyone is free to make their own decisions. Titanium is the devil for people who are not professionals, the high heat that Titanium maintains is bananas. Ceramic 100%, not just coated is your best bet if you do your hair at home. And another thing SPEAK UP. WHY? Because it's your right to and its your hair. I don't care how professional or expert someone is. I ask questions or stop the service IMMEDIATELY if something doesn't feel right. I'm not handing over my money at the end of the service and leaving disappointed and dissatisfied. It's totally my fault for not speaking up. I've learned hard lessons that has taught me to do this

[@anderiafrank4116]

@@michelleeja412 I've been using a titanium flatiron for years and I have had no damage done to my hair. I use heat up ro 420 and still have long healthy waist length natural hair. I use it on my two daughters as well who also have long healthy waist length hair. You have to know what you are doing and use a good heat protectant. The point of the video was to show people that you can enjoy straight hair without destroying your hair if you do it right.

[@michelleeja412]

@@anderiafrank4116 that's excellent that you have mastered titanium, from my experience hair professionals advise to use ceramic. So I guess what works for you or what feels comfortable.

[@abigailokereke7776]

Is there a particular type of shampoo or conditioner to use before silk pressing hair at home? (Outside of olaplex of course)

[@queenruler9188]

I like Garnier sleek and shine, I get less frizz fr

[@simplyme3600]

In a year my hair is normally to my low back. For a year your hair isnt very long and it may be due to heat. Maybe thats why you have to trim so much. Cut back on the heat and just stretch your natural hair without heat and you wont have to worry about tangles or heat damage, in turn you wont have to trim off all your growth.

[@cfoster6804]

You only lather with shampoo once?

Hello, I hope all is well. Great video! How long do you leave in the zero and how long do you leave in the 3?

What if youre using the Rev Air

[@doseofash_]

Be careful with olaplex. I was telling the makeup artist in ULTA about how much I love olaplex and she said she also went to buy it and her sister said allegedly it’s been banned in other countries especially Europe because one of the ingredients causes infertility.

[@shelltalkshair]

Olaplex is still being sold nationwide including Europe. They did remove that ingredient and the amount was so small it wouldn’t have caused infertility if the product was being used correctly.

[@Nicki-A]

@@shelltalkshair was it all Olaplex products that had the ingredient or was it just one specific product?

[@TheComserena]

They still sell it here in the UK.

[@DarcyMiyamoto]

That’s such a lie. Olaplex is widely available in Europe and are also used in certified salons
