Silk Press at Home with Hair101’s “It’s a Wrap Kit”

Nothing beats the confidence boost from a fresh silk press at the salon, but with Hair101, you can create that same sense of self-care and routine right at home! With a few essentials from our “It’s a Wrap Kit” and Scalp Remedy Oil, you can achieve sleek, salon-worthy results anytime.

 

How to Silk Press at Home

1. Start with a Clarifying Shampoo

For a flawless silk press, it’s crucial to begin with clean hair. Using a clarifying shampoo removes product buildup, dirt, and oils that can interfere with heat styling. This step preps your hair for lasting shine and smoothness.

2. Moisture Shampoo & Deep Conditioning

Follow up with a moisture shampoo to restore hydration. Deep conditioning is a must—especially with steam. The added moisture and nutrients leave your hair stronger, which is essential before using heat. Make sure to rinse thoroughly for the best results.

3. Water-Based Leave-In Conditioner & Heat Protectant

Before blow-drying, apply a water-based leave-in conditioner to keep your hair hydrated, then add a quality heat protectant. This protects your strands from heat damage while enhancing manageability and shine.

4. Blow Dry for the Perfect Base

A smooth blow dry is key to a great silk press! Section your hair, and use the combination of a comb attachment and paddle brush to keep each section taut as you dry from roots to ends. This technique lays the groundwork for a sleek, smooth silk press.

5. Flat Iron with Scalp Remedy Oil for Silky Perfection

For the main event, use a ceramic flat iron on high heat to press your hair. Add a touch of Scalp Remedy Oil for an effortless, lightweight finish with natural shine and luster. This powerhouse oil is designed to nourish your hair without weighing it down, helping you achieve a sleek look that lasts.
