Get answers to common questions about Silkpress Long Hair.

A Silkpress on long natural hair usually lasts two to six weeks, depending on hair porosity, styling habits, and humidity. Proper maintenance, sulfate-free shampoos, heat protectant use, and minimal moisture exposure lengthen results; periodic touch-ups preserve the silky finish.

Overuse of heat without care can cause stress, so follow aftercare recommendations and schedule responsible appointments.
