What Is a Silk Press?
Bianca Lambert / Byrdie
A silk press is simply a method of straightening natural hair.
Then, follow with a sulfate-free hydrating shampoo to hydrate your hair without drying out your curls.
First up isTgin’s Honey Miracle Mask($15).
With over 5000 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, I think this mask is worth a try.
“I use a comb attachment for my blow dryer when stretching the hair.
You all remember those split, dry ends I talked about?

“A trim is a trim right?”

But thankfully, with the beauty boom, things are shifting.
If you have deep-hued hair, Moroccanoil makes aDry Shampoo for Dark Tonesthat comes highly rated by consumers.
She also recommends what Black girls already know: wrapping your hair before applying your scarf at night.
