Your Silk Press
Questions, Answered.

The two things most women get wrong — heat settings and product selection. Here's the cheat sheet version.

Heat Settings by Hair Type
Hair TypeFlat Iron TempMax PassesRisk Level
3B / 3C360–380°F1–2Low
4A380–400°F1–2Low–Med
4B400–410°F1–2Medium
4C410–425°F1 (max)High
Never exceed 430°F. High-porosity hair should stay at the lower end of its range.
Product Guide by Porosity
PorosityHow to IdentifyBest Products
LowHair floats in water; products sit on top; takes long to dryLightweight liquids, argan oil, protein-free conditioner
MediumHair sinks slowly; absorbs moisture well; holds stylesBalanced moisturizers, jojoba oil, any quality heat protectant
HighHair sinks fast; absorbs moisture but loses it quickly; frizzyThick butters, castor oil, protein treatments, heavy heat protectant
High-porosity hair needs a protein treatment 1–2 weeks before pressing for best results.
Common Questions
How do I know if my hair is ready for a silk press?
Your hair should be freshly washed, completely dry, and have no product buildup. Check for these 5 red flags: split ends throughout, extreme dryness or brittleness, recent color or relaxer treatment (wait 2+ weeks), active scalp irritation, or already-damaged/heat-trained hair. If any of these apply, treat and wait before pressing.
Why does my silk press revert within 24–48 hours?
Reversion is almost always caused by one of four things: (1) hair wasn't completely dry before pressing, (2) moisture from sweat, steam, or humidity got in, (3) the flat iron temp was too low and didn't fully straighten the cuticle, or (4) too much product was applied before pressing. The cheat sheet covers the exact pre-press and post-press routine that prevents this.
Can I silk press color-treated or bleached hair?
Yes, but with extra caution. Color-treated hair is more porous and fragile. Use the lower end of your hair type's temperature range, always do a deep protein treatment 1–2 weeks before pressing, and apply a generous amount of heat protectant. Bleached hair should be pressed at no more than 380°F regardless of curl type, and only with a proven quality flat iron.
What's the difference between a silk press and a relaxer?
A relaxer permanently alters your hair's chemical structure — the curl is broken and cannot be reversed without cutting. A silk press is temporary: it uses heat to straighten the hair, and your natural curl pattern returns with water or moisture. There is no chemical process, so your hair remains natural throughout.
How often is it safe to silk press my hair?
Most professional stylists recommend no more than once every 6–8 weeks, with a deep moisture treatment in between. If you notice your curl pattern not returning as tightly after washing (heat training), reduce frequency immediately and focus on a strengthening routine before pressing again.

I did my own silk press and it looked just as good as the salon. I cried happy tears. I couldn't believe I'd been spending $120 for years when I could have been doing this myself the whole time.
