Silk pressing is just a fancy way of saying that you’re getting your hair flat ironed. A lot of people are quickly in haste to discourage women from silk pressing their hair cos of the negative parts of it. I’d say go to a real professional. The damage from a silk press comes from trying to keep it straight! I suggest not adding any additional heat from the original press. If it starts sweating out, just let it sweat out.
I get silk presses every 8 weeks so I can get a professional trim. My hair reverts just fine when I wash it. You can silk pressing your hair without having your hair damaged. Don’t put a lot of oils and butters in your hair before hand and throughly detangle first. Blow dry your hair as straight as possible. Also, don’t apply anymore heat on it, that’s how people get heat damage, instead use it as a chance to do a thorough trim and cut whatever needs to go.
