Important Key Tips Not Mentioned: I keep my flat irons between 390-400. I’ll only go over 400 if I’m working with extremely course hair and I see that I need to up it. When I do, it never exceeds 410. When blow drying, the dryer should NEVER be directly touching your hair at ANY point. It should only be following wherever the brush is moving. That is how you get heat damage. Leave a tad bit of space between the dryer and your hair and blow dry on the highest heat setting your dryer has. Dryers that have 1,800-2,000 KW work best for silk presses. Last but not least, make sure those roots are completely STRAIGHT!!! That is a must, if your roots are not straight, you’ve just wasted your time. Your roots can take way more heat then anywhere else, so if you need to hit it twice with the flat iron, don’t be afraid. You won’t get heat damage from it. You can also use the mini flat iron for the roots (same method as using a pressing comb) and then flat iron how you regularly would. CERAMIC IRONS are your best friend, so stay away from titanium if you can. Hope this helps 💜

1. Leave-in Conditioner 2. Heat Protectant 3. Serum Add all 3 while the hair is still damp/wet.

It is day 7 and my hair is still straight. This is crazy I’ve been trying to get these results on my own for years. I just used what I had at home.

Intro:right to businesses My favorite type of intro thank you sis

I just did this, its the first time my hair hasnt frizzed right after walking out the door! Thank you

I have struggled with flat ironing my natural hair for over 15 years, I bought the products mentioned in the video and used as directed. The best flat iron ever, longest without reverting. THANK YOU!

Omg you guys this works!!! I straightened my hair for my leave out and it started reverting within a couple hours. So I watched this video, washed it and tried again with this technique. I’m SHOCKED. It’s been 5 days and I still haven’t had to straighten it again. And I have 4B/4C hair. Tysm!!!! Liked and subscribed 💕

Here is a list of shampoo’s and conditioners that will take your silk press to the next level and give you that salon quality look and feel. You need to use a clarifying shampoo first ( this is to get your hair squeaky clean. You must NOT skip this step). 2nd, use a moisturizing shampoo. And lastly, you can either regularly condition or deep condition. NEVER do both. You’ll over load your hair and weigh it down. Shampoo’s that clarify: Tea tree by Paul Mitchell (do not get the lavender), Oat protein and henna by design essentials, mongongo by Mielle organics. Shampoos that put the moisture right back in after clarifying: Mega Sleek by Matrix, Almond and avocado by design essentials, Honey Creme by design essentials, Macvoil anti aging (TOP TIER), Moisture recovery by Joico. Deep conditioners (can be used to regular condition as well) : Almond butter express by design essentials, K-Pak reconstructer by Joico , Babassu mint by Mielle.

Prayers that my hair grows back very strong only God will after chemo . Thanks for sharing blessings

I have watched about 20 Silk press videos. Each video had a minimum of 2 million views. However, I always come back to this one. Great job lady.

This tutorial is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER. Used the exact products, followed your instructions to the tee and I’m blown away by the results. My hair would normally start puffing up by the time I started working on the second side. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve been watching silk press videos for YEARS. I’ve never gotten it right. I truly believe your tips will finally change that!

Thank you for this video! This literally changed the game for me! My hair used to puff by the time I got to the other side of my head. I’m now on day three and it’s 87 degrees out.

It definitely works! Did my hair & it was straight for 3 weeks! My cousin whose a hairdresser thought I relaxed it. 💖

The best video ever! Straight to the point. you told the 3 hair products that you need and WHY you need all 3. And you also gave techniques I never knew were so important. Thank you so much. I get so many compliments on my silk press now..it really does last with no frizz!

In that order. I happened upon this combo on my own after literally DECADES of doing my hair by myself. Much trial and error, but now I never need to visit another hair salon. I do all my blowouts myself & get the same results every time, just like you said. That moisture and heat repellent is everything.

This is the best. I've never been able to press my hair let alone try any style off of a youtube tutorial but im so glad i came across this video earlier this year. I tried everything you said and my press did not puff out by the time i got out of the bathroom. Not only that but it lasted for 2 1/2 weeks. I HAVE NEVER gotten this result without going to the salon! As i was pressing it i was in complete shock as to the difference these steps made. A world of thank yous!!! Now I'll only pay for a press if im in time crunch or lazy. Now im back to get a refresher. ❤❤🙏🏽

That Paul Mitchell product is the business! It will keep that frizz away for at least two weeks during the summer. Design products are excellent. The after shampoo mint conditioner is it for my crunchy hair. A heat protectant is so important and that blow drying process is too. It makes flat ironing so smooth. Thanks for educating folks on the correct way to do a silk press and make it last.

I tried this... and it worked for me it's 4 hours later went out for supper and my hair didn't frizz... for the first time in years... love this

I love how simple, straight forward, and honest this video was. You go girl. I’d give you all my dollars to do my hair that beautifully 🥺♥️👏🏽

Out here doing Gods work 🙌 happy to report I have type 4 hair and it works 😍

You inspired me to straighten my hair! Thank you for displaying the products!

i love how this video is straight to the point and very detailed without to much talking i love this i have watched so many videos and your was just so on point

Best silk press video I've seen. Thank you for sharing.

This was an excellent tutorial. I was that woman whose hair would puff up before I got to the other half of my hair. Thank you for listing the products first. I purchased it all.

Great great tips. My daughter has 4c 20" of hair and I struggle with trying to get a beautiful silk press. I will try all of your tips (even the ones posted in the comment section). Sounds like they will be quite useful.

I thank God for finding your video. I am in love with my hair after following your instructions. Thank you❤

Thanks for sharing! Finally someone talks about the heat temperature for the flat iron!😊

This is what a tutorial is! She gave step by steps and which products to use. Thank you for this! ❤

Thank you so much for this video !! Currently 200 hours away from finishing cosmetology school ! 🥰

Thank you so much!!! My daughter’s hair stayed so silky and no more problems with humidity. I did it just like how you said to ❤

I love how you did her hair do beautiful.

This is the best video I've found and I've practically watched almost all of what's available, finally someone that explains well and even tells us what the products do. Thank You.

I just came across your page. I love how you walked us through everything and the results. I'm just getting out the hospital and sent my son to get these products since I'm to weak to drive and go get my hair did. I wanted to come into the new year looking fabulous. 😊

Girl u really know how to handle and work that hair! I trust ya

Thank you for sharing your valuable silk press information. I will try your method. Her hair is beautiful.

Detailed & right to the point. I love it.

I did an outdoor activity with my at home blow out in the hot Florida sun and I saw the pictures later and yeah. I look like a crazy person. I definitely need to try your tips.

Hi, I followed your instructions with different products and the outcome was wonderful! Thank you so much ❤

Omg, that hair is so gorgeous & silky looking! ❤️💛💙💖💗💜🫶🏻

💜💜💜💜that was so informative and straight to the point, plus beautiful results 💙💙💙💙

So many tips in a short video! That brush sounds like a good idea. I have been heat free for 5 years and I am finally ready to switch it up! TFS!

Great vid! I learned so much. I used Paul Mitchel serum years ago and loved it. Going to go back to using it, my hair grew so much when I used it.

❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐thank you thank you!! and thank you!!!💐💐💐💐💐 I did this hair tutorial and experienced the big difference. Every woman needs to know this!! I will never go back to the way I use to do my hair again. .EVER!!!!

I really appreciate you sharing your technique and products used. With 2 teenage girls, I can't always afford to get all of our hair done professionally.

I did mine this past Saturday! & I invested in each of the products! 🥰

Beautifully done. The hair looks nice and silky-smooth. Everything is well explained. I wish I could have you as my hair stylist.

Thank You for sharing I am still transitioning but I need this info so when I do my silk press I’ll know what to use. Your sister’s hair is beautiful

Love how informative your videos are! ♥️ Straight to the point and no fluff

This video and your tips changed my life!!! I was so close to buying a new blow dryer and more products, but this saved me some coins and disappointment cause my silk press turned out flawless! The results were amazing on my 4b/c hair! Thank you, thank you!

Thank youuu! I could not figure out why my hair keeps frizzing immediately after I straighten it! I used to straighten my hair all the time years ago and never had this issue I'm having now. Now it all makes sense, back then I used 3 products, some sort of leave in, heat protectant spray, and serum. I was about to give up on straightening my hair lol.

Thank you so much, I just did what you told and my silk press was perfect 🔥🥰, today make me 12 days and still straight and no frizzy.

This makes me miss my older sister doing my hair when i was a teenager 🥺 lol good times good times.

You litterally just taught me the wholleeee reason why my hair would frizz up everytime lol wow thank you

Thank you! The hardest part about Cosmo school was being thrown into silk presses without correct products or information. Not fun to learn by trial and error. It’s videos like these that have helped me achieve successful silk presses ❤ thank you. It’s pretty sad too having us use a hot comb and not being trained correct can really mess some hair up!!!

Love the flow of the hair

I’m probably the only person here who thought that was Mrs. Obama doing a hair video

Thank you for all the information and for demonstrating each step so detailed. I especially thank you for sharing the products used to achieve such a beautiful result. Usually, KZfaq stylists would rush the process without providing any product information like it's a big secret or something. Thank you for being transparent and I subscribed without hesitation. Keep this good videos coming , please.

Makes so much sense. Intriguing. Professional and safe advice: love, make sure you're covered. Dont let your chest out like that. A full shirt is plenty. 💪🏾

I love her hair and you both have pretty rich skintone ✨

I have tried so many things trying to get my hair straight and stay that way. This is the only thing that’s worked. Thank you so much, wish I’d seen this video sooner!

Thankyou so much for this one girl. Love this video you got straight to the point, everything was clear and easy to understand and I actually feel like I can do this on my own at home! So Thankyou 🥰🤪

You deserve your flowers for this one! 🌹🌹

Thank you! Your tips were right on point…just did my daughter’s hair…came out so smooth!

Okay so I have straightened my own hair multiple times and it never comes out right. Always end up going to the Dominicans lol I followed your steps last night and BABY!!!!! Luscious. Thank you thank you thank you !

Good video very detailed u explain everything good💕

THANK YOU SIS. I don’t usually like to hear a lot talking but hunty you stayed on topic and every word coincides with you video. BEAUTIFUL WORK! Thank you 🏆♥️ New Subscriber

Thank you, Sis this has saved my life. Best Silk Press tutorial on KZfaq.🙏🏾

I gave you a like JUST for saying you are not wasting time with a long intro!!🎉 Why do other KZfaqrs still describe what we can clearly see ourselves?!! (Rhetorical)

Used your suggestion, leave in, heat protectant and serum, and got new products (it’s a 10 and super skinny) and my silk press came out bombbb!! Thanks girl 😘

Yea she has nice hair, Thanks for all of your professional tips, it's going to help me out a lot. you did a wonderful job, Thanks for being a professional Styles thanks for sharing your gift.

The trim at the end was so satisfying. Beautiful work.

I’m so glad I found this video. My hair looks like I went to the salon. I just did it before going to a wedding. Had me thinking I should go to cosmetology school and open my own salon. 😂

Thanks so much for this! I just flat ironed my hair the other day & yes I puffed up 2 mins later LOL.

I’ve had that blow dryer for two years now and it’s BOMB 💣 still works like a charm. Thank you for the tips will definitely do this on my clients 😊

Girl the searching I had to do just to come back and find you!! I thought I subscribed when I first watched this video. I just want to say consider yourself hugged! I'll be the first to admit, I did not spend $30 on the serum. I got the Fructis instead. But I still followed your steps and when I tell you this silk press was silk pressing... Thank you so much for a useful video and much love from the Chi ❤!

I followed your steps and I can say I can't remember when my hair felt so good and came out this good. I had CHI instead of Paul Mitchell and it came out great I have 8 months of new grow (growing out relaxer) and 4c hair. I thank you a lot. Keep up the good works.

Great video! I’m currently in cosmetology school. We weren’t taught the proper way to do a silk press from beginning to end. I was wondering why my client’s hair wasn’t coming out silky straight. Thanks for all the great tips! I will put them to use on my next client. New subscriber here!😃

This used to be my go to hairdo!!! Old faithful! Can’t go wrong with the wrap!

I'm gonna try this. I've been struggling. Mine frizzes up once I get to the next section. I was adding the heat protectant and Serum right before blow drying. Now I know to do it while wet. Thanks!

So detailed and informant. I always thought more products can help the hair to revert back quicker but I was wrong.

That is some thick, healthy looking hair!!

The tutorial was very helpful. I perfected my silk press with your recommended products and detail instructions! Thank you 🙏🏾 😊

Thank you. I tried your method, and my hair is the straightest it has ever been. I am so pleased! I added Chi Iron Guard because I could not find on the bottles where it talked about them being a heat protectant. But I sprayed them all in with damp hair. I also made Bantu knots overnight to flatten my roots and took them down in the morning. My hair below the root was still damp, and then I did a blowout, and it worked very well. I was able to flat iron on 350 and had great results. I am 4C. High heat is not always needed if you have a good porcelain flat iron.

I just came from getting all these products, I’m about to try tonight. I live in Houston so I hope this works to help combat this super humidity. Headed to Cali too so I hope it holds out there too.

Her hair is beautiful and healthy it’s just flowed so naturally

I love this !!!! She looks like someone I went to high school with. I am definitely going to try this. God bless !

One of biggest gripe as a natural when getting silk press is that they they dont twist the sections like that! The stylist leave the hair hanging and then start tugging on the hair wondering why its knotted up again

LCO - 1. Liquid (leave in conditioner - Carol's Daughter almond milk), 2.0Cream - heat protectant blow dry/style cream in one (Carols Daughters pracaxi nectar blow dry cream), 3. Oil - hair serum (naked by Essations satin silkening glaze) . after blow out/flat iron use Carols Daughters honey mimosa and wrap hair. can't go wrong. :)

I love not a long intro and I love this video thank you

thank you for defining the relationship between you and the hair model, because i was thinking the way you strongly re-positioned her head and then tapped her frown lines i assumed there was a familiar connection cause that's how i do my lil'sister😁😁

I’ve tried so many methods to get my hair straight like I used to before wearing a bunch of protective styles and was about to give up. This worked on my 4C hair perfectly, TYSM 😭

THANK YOU!!! I followed these directions and guidance (minus the products shared). As replacements I used generic Paul Mitchel products from Sally's Beauty - leave in conditioner, detangling spray with heat protectant and lightweight oil serum. My results were absolutely fantastic!!! I have fine hair and once I thoroughly blow dried, my flat iron did the rest. It has been a week and half and my hair feels just as straight and moisturized as day one. This tutorial deserves a curtsy to you Queen.

Thanks for info. Hair came out so pretty. Needed to know what to use to keep from puffing up. Thanks again!!🤗

I finally tried it your way. Conditioner, serum and heat protectant and girrrll you’re right. My hair finally coming out as straight as I wanted.

can you demo this routine on 4c hair please :p

I have never had a silk press or blowout that doesn't frizz (fine 4a hair). Hairdressers used to think I was being ridiculous until the second I step outside my ends frizz up. Will try this on my own to see how it works #trusttheprocess 🤞🏾👌🏾

Lord Jesus BLESS YOU! I literally did my silk press using the products you mentioned but I put the serum and heat protection when it was dry and just like you said it poofed up😩. I cannot wait to try it the way you recommended.

Thank you for all the specific details. I definitely feel a little more comfortable with the silk press I’m gonna do. Hopefully it comes out well. Best of luck ❤️

4:40 Ugh I was wondering why my hair would be dry before I got to blow dry, I wasn’t twisting it down after putting products in 😞💔
