Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Silk Press Short.

A Silk Press Short usually lasts three to six weeks depending on texture, porosity, and maintenance. Proper nightly satin protection, limited moisture exposure, and gentle styling extend smoothness; humidity, sweating, or heavy product use can shorten the result.

Yes — our stylists perform a follicle scalp and hair assessment before service. We adjust heat and products for color-treated strands, using deep conditioning to minimize additional stress and preserve color integrity and hair health.

We recommend waiting at least six to eight weeks after a chemical relaxer and disclosing treatment history. Heat can further stress recently processed hair, so a professional assessment ensures safety and prevents breakage or damage.

Arrive with detangled hair and minimal heavy product or oil buildup. Since we include a detox shampoo and mask, clean natural hair is ideal. Bring inspiration photos and disclose recent treatments for the best customized result.

No — a Silk Press Short temporarily smooths curls using heat and styling, but it does not permanently alter your natural pattern. Consistent high heat without protection can cause damage, so we use protective products and careful technique.

Protect with a satin bonnet or pillowcase nightly, avoid heavy humidity exposure, use lightweight serums sparingly, and limit extra heat styling. Refresh with a cool flatiron touch-up and schedule regular deep-conditioning treatments to maintain shine and manageability.
