Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Silk Press.

A Silk Press typically lasts 5–14 days depending on hair type, humidity, activity level and aftercare. Sleeping with a satin scarf, avoiding moisture, and using lightweight serums extend the lifespan. Touch-ups can refresh the look without a full service.

When performed correctly with proper heat settings and quality protectants, a Silk Press should not permanently alter natural texture. Repeated high heat without protection can cause damage. We evaluate hair health before service and recommend treatments and intervals to minimize risk.

Arrive with clean, detangled hair; avoid heavy oils or conditioners that weigh strands down. If you have build-up, book a clarifying shampoo add-on. Communicate your styling goals and any recent color or treatments so we can adjust techniques safely.

Sleep on satin, use a lightweight anti-frizz serum, avoid heavy moisture and sweating, refresh with a low-heat touch-up if needed, and schedule a trim or cleanse as necessary. Follow our aftercare instructions for best longevity and hair health.
