What Is a Fluffy Silk Press?
How to Achieve It
To achieve a fluffy silk press, start with clean, moisturized hair.
“Hydrated hair will hold the silk press better and be less prone to frizz,” she explains.
The next step is to blow-dry your hair in sections with a round brush.
Nolan recommends experimenting with different brush sizes.
“The larger the round brush, the more volume you’ll get,” she says.
Focus on creating lift at the roots for extra fullness."
Next, you’re able to either straighten your hair or usehot rollers.
“Start from the root and go down the hair shaft to straighten the hair,” Redway explains.
Opt for the latter method if you’d rather skip the flat iron altogether.
