![]() ![]() If that’s a concern for you (like if you’re still trying to wear a wash n go), proceed with caution? This YouTube tutorial from Tea Renee was the first time I ever saw the silk press results I wanted by doing my hair at home.įull disclosure tho: I wasn’t worried about changing my curl texture, so I applied high heat (blow dry on warm, flat iron in the low 400s). I used to have this same problem - even after blowing dry and flat ironing it, my hair (which is pretty thick) would be “straight” but didn’t have that silk press glossiness you get from a professional. Also got it from Sally's for about ten bucks. I know boar bristle brushes are controversial but I only use it on detangled hair with product in it for slip and I haven't noticed an uptick in broken hairs. ![]() Also I have that high porosity 4z hair that everyone is scared of so if it works for me I think your odds are really good.Įdit: I also started using a round boar bristle brush for my blowouts because the tension it creates in each strand means my hair is darn near straightened by the time I'm done blowing it out. You should look up roller set silk presses on YouTube, I would do them if my hair was a little longer but it seems like the extra moisture really improves the quality of the results. ![]() My current fave is the bronner bros which I get at Sally's for like 3 bucks. But the mousse makes a woooorld of difference in my silkiness and longevity of the silk press. I'm also going to try spritz next time I straighten because it has a flexible hold but is also waterproof to cut down on frizz. Then I continue with the rest of my routine. I like to use a clarifying shampoo, protein rich deep conditioner, moisturizing heat protectant and then most importantly, I saturate my hair with a really good foaming mousse for curling and pressing before blowing it out. Here is a video on a good silk press routine at home by one of the glam twins. When I got my silk press as a natural I used redkin and my hair looked amazing but my blow out looked like I already straightened my hair.Īnother way to get a good blow dry is to put your hair in big rollers and sit under a hooded dryer (if you have one). I used it back when I was relaxed and my hair just looked like i did nothing every time I used it. I’m being biased when I say this so take it or leave it lol but I hate chi’s heat protection products lol. It is also protecting enough for your hair during the blow drying phase. It’s lightweight enough to help your blow dry process and make it close to straight where using babybliss at 370 will get you that silk press look. My suggestion, get a new heat protectant preferably anti snap by redkin. You don’t need a top of the line blow dryer for your hair. If your hair is puffy during your blow dry, at 370 baby bliss is not about to get you to silk pressed hair.
