DIY Silk Press

You know how were always trying to achieve that salon look at home, but it never quite looks or feel the same?  Well,  I think I found a DIY recipe for a silk press, that looks just like youve stepped out of the salon.  Now, some of you are probably asking, what is a silk press.   A silk press is a modern day hair press, but a flat iron is instead of a pressing comb.  No grease or heavy oils to weigh your hair done.  When a silk press done properly, your hair should feel light, shiny and silky.

Heres what I used:

• Paul Mitchells Clarifying Shampoo Three
• Suaves Keratin Infused Smoothing Shampoo (Still one of my faves)
• Suaves Keratin Infused Smoothing Conditioner
• Its A 10s Miracle Leave-In Product
• Biosilk Silk Therapy

The Process:

• I washed my hair twice with Paul Mitchells Clarifying Shampoo.
• I used Suaves Keratin Infused Smooth Shampoo to
• Followed up with Suaves Keratin Conditioner, combing it through and did a steam treatment for about 30 mins (will do a post on the DIY steam treatment this week).
• Rinsed the conditioner out with cold water.  Remember using cold water helps seal the moisture in your hair and increases shine.
• Applied Its a 10 Miracle Leave-In and combed it through the ends.
• Blew my hair dry
• Once dry I applied Biosilks Silk Therapy through my hair.
• I finished up by flat ironing my hair.

And here is the end result
