Feeling the cool breeze through the air.
Silk press season is around the corner, and we want to help you get the most out of your hair for the season! A healthy and beautiful silk press first starts off with hair health. Just like every other part of our health, hair reflects its health on the outside. Healthy hair will have minimal split ends, be nourished with a balanced amount of moisture and protein. When your hair is healthy, your hair will look fuller and vibrant which carries on into getting the most out of your silk press!
It's easy to glamorize people for their hair, but rest assured that healthy hair habits encourage healthy hair growth and retention. With a consistent routine and healthy habits, you can achieve the rewarding silky shiny silk press.
First starting off is having a solid routine. There is not one size fits all, so based on the hairstyles you wear, the climate, and products you use. They can all have an impact on your hair regime. For example, some people keep their hair in protective styles and only take them out for a short period of time, while others wear their hair out more frequently causing them to do their hair more often.
For people who wear protective styles, I'd encourage them to use the time that they let their hair breathe to schedule protein and deep conditioner treatments. Whether it is in the salon or even at home, scheduling time to take care of your hair is important. Since the hair is protected for longer periods of time; it creates an environment where your hair has low manipulation and minimizes friction. Meaning the likelihood of your hair being healthy increases, which is great for your next silk press!
For people who wear their hair out, minimizing friction may be a little difficult although making sure to protect the hair when you’re sleeping or resting will help. Creating a schedule around your hair schedule may be easier since you aren’t subject to a specific style for long periods of time. Nevertheless, creating a schedule to nurture the hair will be rewarding in the long run. Keeping up with the health of your hair is no easy task, but it can be if you put systems in place to accommodate your lifestyle.
Overall, no matter how long or short your hair is, healthy hair is the goal. So, the next time you book a silk press or even go to straighten your own hair; don’t forget to provide your hair with the care and nutrients it needs to thrive.
Happy Silk Press Season!
