silk press
Sleek hair treatment
A silk press is a hair straightening technique used primarily on natural Black hair, achieved through blow-drying and flat-ironing with heat protectant products to create a sleek, smooth finish without chemical relaxers.
Unlike a traditional press done with a hot comb, the silk press produces a shinier, more flowing result that mimics the look of relaxed hair while remaining temporary—the style reverts when hair gets wet.
I'm getting a silk press for the wedding.
