The results are beautiful! I love black hair because we have so many options and choices of how to style it 🥰
Thank you! And Yes the versatility is EVERYTHING!
Oo
The most important part of a silk press is “ will my hair revert back properly and completely”
All I care for❤
Her hair looks great both ways 😍
I had a failed attempt at going blonde so we’re see how this goes ❤
i loveee how her confidence came out after the reveal 💗 beautiful before and after. love a good silk press and i love how the hairstylist really takes her time with each step, you can tell she cares about her clients’ hair.
I always love the curly hair features. Great silk press
Thank you!
Learning to do DIY silk press was a game changer for my hair. Growth, length retention, less tangles and breakage, and because I can run a comb through my hair (versus never being able to all week with a naturally curly style or braids), the sebum from my scalp can get better distributed to my strands and naturally lubricate my hair (as opposed to using all those build-up causing products). Yes, your body produces the best natural hair protectant on earth!
People will argue that heat styling will cause severe damage and it's because they (a) go to hair salons where the stylist uses maximum heat + multiple unneeded passes to achieve the sleekest look or (b) they are doing their press wrong and using the wrong products/tools. Been pressing my hair for almost 10 years VERY regularly and my hair always reverts completely. You should never retouch with the flat iron during the week even if it gets puffy, just style around it. Serums and light leave-ins are your friend, so avoid putting heavy oils and creams in your hair before a press. A good blow dryer is also key. I don't use those lava hot round brushes or cheap, junky blow dryers that do mechanical damage. I use the dyson with the comb attachment meant for kinky, curly hair. The revair is also good, but doesn't get the roots straight enough imo. A good blow dry will only need 1 pass with the iron (I keep mine at 350 and it's pin straight). My hair stays straight all week even with 5 days a week at the gym (use headbands and silk scrunchies to tie it up!). I use Amika dry shampoo towards the end of the week but very conservatively. Clarify your hair once a month to remove build up from silicons and serums. Deep condition your hair weekly. Your hair will grow if you follow these tips.
Do you have a link to the dyson blow dryer you are referring to? Thanks!
How often do you press it
You're absolutely correct! I do the same with my hair and I am able to maintain healthier hair. I also agree that I get better results using the dyson rather than the revair. I do like the revair but I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew what I know now.
Thanks so much for the detailed description of your process! I haven’t straightened my natural hair in over 7 years (just twist-outs & braid-outs). However, w your instructions, I feel I might be able to wear a straight style every once in a while - just to change things up. Appreciate you taking the time to school us on how it’s done!
Thank you. Agreed. Great points. My hair grows so much faster than in a twist out or being braided up and getting tangled and breaking off.
The hairstylist did such a great job. Her techniques made the hair pretty and shiny.
What was the flat iron she used? The blue one? Babyliss? She used like three diff flat irons 😮!
Looks like a Babyliss Nano
It’s a BabylissPRO Nano, I’m a hairstylist that’s the one I use at work. I absolutely love it!
@@CaseyMikelllonie I'm not a pro nor do I straighten my hair often (maybe twice a year). Do you know a good brand flat iron I can use?
@@brittanywilliams8653 the Babyliss is great brand - so I hear.
@@CaseyMikelllonie thanks!!! ☺️
She did such an amazing job!!🔥
Thank you!
CUTE! I love a good silk press.
Beautiful !
She's so beautiful
My hair literally does better in being consistently blow dried/press than other actual protective styles lol
Same!! I think it’s because other styles don’t stretch and keep the hair as detangled as putting heat on it does!!
@@harden.nautica I agree! Some hair types tend to dry out using curl leave in products.
👀
Same my hair has never grown so much I think having to detangle my hair every 5 days was just breaking it off
I have a lot of thin stranded pin straight hair and if I let it air dry it’s prone to breakage really easily. I think it has to do with the amount of time your hair stays wet. I just think of it as a sponge, and sponges need to be wrung out to last longer. What’s worked best for me is to let it air dry 75% then blow dry. Every person is different though
so good!
Thank you!
Amazing
I wish she would have demonstrated how to tie the hair up at night.
Beautiful❤
She beautiful 😍.
She was one of my suite mates in college.
The stylist was awesome the treatment that she gave was beyond 💯‼️💲👌🏼📺📽️🌟🥰🥰🥰💎🙋🏻♀️✨🎉. I think if I had to do it I would have used the actual Marcel curling irons to give a more tighter curl that gives more body and longer lasting but that's just me but I love the overall output it was beautiful.
Thank you so much for your feedback! love big body curls as well, although it was discussed in the initial consultation with Nicole(which was not fully recorded) that she wanted her finished look to have minimal volume and loose curls. As a hair health professional, I wouldn't recommend using Marcel irons on just any hair type. To completely avoid the possibility of heat damaging the hair, it is best to use thermal tools that have specific technology to protect the hair. In this video, the white tool I am using to curl is the GHD platinum+ hair straightener, which protects the integrity of your hair, allowing the hair to be stronger and shinier than irons without similar technology. Also, I educated Nicole on ways to upkeep the loose curl without the use of heat. With proper aftercare, the goal is for any type of curl to be long lasting😊
Yes- loved the stylist’s energy and spirit! You can tell that she loves what she does! Exceptional customer service 🔥
I've always wanted to ask - is it safe for hairstylists to have such long nails? Isn't it dangerous to the client and themselves? Scratches, bleach, water damage to the nail adhesive?
This is a great question. As a hairstylist, a lot of us may use our pinkies to part and a clean sharp nail makes it easier. Some guests like the sensation on their scalps & keeps the hands clean/presentable while constant water weakens the nails… they add strength to move through the hair, BUT! There’s nothing like the grip of braiding with no nails 💜
Nice🔥
I wonder How does your curls look like after this? I would like to try it, but don’t want to have my curls fried or loosen up…
Yes, that's the only thing keeping me from getting a silk press. The fear of having like fried dead ends! 💯
@Anjel hair will go back to normal on wash day. Just don't re-straighten it all week causing heat damage.
What is the brush she used for detangling in the bowl?
The one the beautician used looked like something I have and the color and size are the exact match. Any hairstylists can correct me if I’m wrong but it’s called the Tangle Buster Styler; got it at Amazon for like $12/$13. It works nicely on thick hair.
It looks like Morrocanoil
What is the name of the straightener?
To me it’s just about manageability. Not the straightness, I like to have it soft, big curls and shiny 💇🏽♀️
❤🤗
What is the name of the treatment she used on her hair?
What?! The inaccuracy of this! A lot of black women do the big chop girl you are not a unicorn.
Most natural women actually do reserve this for special occasions NOT 100% of the time!!! She must be ignorant to weather in the Midwest lol. Don't get me wrong she looks fabulous...but I wish I would pay a Beverly Hills stylist and come out looking like that
Lol
That part
Before the Natural Hair movement it was taboo.
Agreed! A big chop is a norm in the the black community.
A big chop is more common now with the new generation of black people. Mainly African Americans & Africans under the age of 30. But Black British & Caribbeans do not chop their hair off, you will get cussed. It was not the done thing until about 12 years ago.
No heat protectant?
Several heat protectants were used. From the treatment to the leave in sprays, to the thermal spray. This is a must!
I wish she talked about products 😕
Task 22
I’ve seen silkier presses. This ain’t all that. No shade. Also, you can roller set the hair instead of blow drying it as it’s less harsh. Then blow it out dry before using the straighteners.
This is just a one-time hairstyle right? As in she won't have straight hair after the second wash. Looks gorgeous anyway!!
If she blow dries it, and/or wraps it around her head while it dries, after washing it, it should be straight. She wouldn't need a silk press again. Likely! If that's what your asking.
@@daniellevaughn4598 oh that's so cool! thanks!
I think this hair's texture properties implie that you don't wash it every day, even when straighten. It would destroy the fiber very quickly. You could go for a week or two I guess (based on @DeeperThanHairTv videos)
Soon as you wash it it goes back to natural and curly. She can keep it straight for a week or however long til next wash day. Just putting it in a bun to sleep at night or “wrapping it” another technique for sleeping. Silk head scarf on top to keep it frizz free. I usually do this to see how long my hair is like once a year . Lol but definitely can do it every week and still have healthy hair
Straight hair looks sooo good on anyone!
Can gray hair be silk press?
@@sandrabaine630 yes
Yes ma’am. Just make sure that the iron isn’t to hot to prevent the gray hair turning yellow. And a good conditioning before is helpful ❤
No
@@LlamawithHat Yes
COME THROUGH

So Snoop gets a silk press?
😂 pretty much!
Doesn't he have locs now? I think in the past he had a relaxer
Nicole heavily favours Ciara.
She reminds me of Draya!
Silk press is not brand new....go talk to your grandparents ...this has been the style 1800's...😊
Ohh she definitely got Heat damage! This stylist didn't even use heat protectant. Ohh its OVER for her curls 🤦🏽♀️
