How to Keep Your Silk Press Sleek as Temperatures Rise
The sun is out, the weather is heating up, and silk press season is here! But as temperatures rise, so do the challenges of keeping your hair sleek. Humidity, sweat, and frizz can turn your press into a puff in no time—but we’ve got the ultimate guide to keeping your hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free.
Step 1: Prep Your Hair for a Long-Lasting Press
• Deep cleanse with a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup.
• Hydrate with a moisture treatment to keep hair soft and frizz-resistant.
• Apply a heat protectant like Bumble and Bumble’s Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist to prevent heat damage.
Step 2: Master Daily Maintenance
• Wrap your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf.
• Avoid excessive moisture—humidity is the #1 ENEMY of a silk press!
• Use minimal product to keep hair lightweight and bouncy.
Step 3: Combat Humidity Like a Pro
• A light anti-humidity spray keeps hair from frizzing up.
• Low-manipulation styling (like loose buns, or high pony tails for the gym and exercise) helps maintain your sleek look between washes.
• Book regular trims to prevent split ends and keep your silk press looking fresh.
A silk press is the perfect way to enjoy sleek, straight hair without chemicals; but keeping it fresh requires a little extra care in the warmer months. Follow these steps, and you’ll be turning heads all season long!
