      @BlakeJael  5 місяців тому +4

    i think getting the hair dry with the least amount. ofproduct and being able to keep moisture in the hair is how you have a great silk press. My best silk press is barely any product (or just the color wow) on rollerset hair...and then i apply a spray heat protectant to silk out the roots. blow drying i dont get consistent results.
    Deffff consider it. aprotective style when done correctly. i am happy the girlies arent anti straight hair anymore...its growing season. :)

    You convinced me to get the tymo straightening comb and I pressed my own hair for the first time since middle school. I’m two weeks in, my scalp hates me so it’s time to wash it out. lol I didn’t realize how much trauma I had from the oily stiff straight attempts I made from back then. The way I was praying with every pass of the tymo comb. I’m excited to try again next month with these tips. Can you show us how you curl your hair? That’s the part that got me. The curls weren’t consistent. Thanks you! And wow your hair grew so much!

    How often can you do a silk press in a year? And does it damage your hair in a long term?

    • @BlakeJael
      @BlakeJael  5 місяців тому +2

      If you want to maintain your curl pattern and wear wash n gos, less straightening is better. But if done correctly you can enjoy a couple silk presses a year. Last year I think I did about 5, and the year before 6. I haven't lost my curls but I don't think they are as tight in some areas. I would still consider my hair to be healthy. I don't wear wash n gos and I have committed to heat training so this doesn't bother me.

      I do. For me it's inevitable that my roots are going to sweat out, so I try to work with it as the weeks go by. After 1-2 weeks I add curls and pin curl/rollers which is easier to workout with then a wrap to me. And even though my roots are puffier it looks like volume with curls as oppose to if I tried to keep it pin straight.
