Maintain your silk press by using silk press shampoo/conditioner, heat protectant, wide-tooth comb, heat styling brush, and flat iron. Prewash and prep hair with protectant, section it, and use the flat iron to gently press it straight. To maintain the style, touch up every 4-6 weeks and practice proper hair care: trim split ends, minimize heat use, and get professional help from stylists or salons specializing in silk presses.
