Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Silk Press (shoulder length or shorter).

A silk press typically lasts two to six weeks depending on hair texture, daily routine, and product use. Shorter styles may revert faster, so using silk-friendly products, minimizing moisture exposure, and gentle handling helps extend the results.

When done correctly by a trained stylist, a silk press should not cause damage. We begin with a deep conditioning treatment, apply heat protectant, and use controlled temperatures to reduce stress and preserve strand integrity.

Arrive with clean, detangled hair if possible and avoid heavy oils or buildup. If you’ve colored or chemically treated hair recently, mention it during booking. Communicating hair history helps us choose the safest, most effective products and techniques.

Sleep on a satin pillowcase or use a silk bonnet, avoid excessive humidity and wetting, and use lightweight, heat-friendly products. Refresh with a low-heat touch-up if needed and limit daily manipulation to preserve the style longer.

Yes, often you can, but it depends on hair condition and timing after chemical services. We recommend a consultation so we can assess elasticity and porosity, and determine whether additional conditioning or a waiting period is necessary.

Plan for roughly 60 to 90 minutes for wash, deep conditioning, and professional pressing for shoulder-length or shorter hair. Time varies by hair thickness and condition; book accordingly and arrive on time for the best results.
