The key distinction between a silk press and a flat iron is that the former uses various instruments, including a flat iron and comb, to straighten the hair for a smoother, silkier finish. A flat iron is a heat styling equipment used to straighten hair. If you are seeking a quick, chemical-free way to straighten your hair then silk pressing is for you. Silk pressing does not use harsh chemicals with a long-term commitment. Women frequently inquire about the silk press time frame. A silk press, typically lasts two weeks.

In some cases, if the hair has not been exposed to water it can stay considerably longer. Moisture includes such things as perspiration, humidity, or water. Your hair will start to curl again if it comes into touch with any of these sources of moisture.

Choosing a braid style is incredibly personal, just like picking any other natural hairstyle. However, before committing to a certain appearance, there are a few general considerations to bear in mind. Braids are incredibly useful, but certain types last longer than others. Consider how and when you will wear them.

Take into account whether your braids will become wet. Choose braids that will firmly conceal your natural hair if you plan to braid with extension hair and go in and out of a pool or the ocean. Each braid you make pushes out the curl in your natural hair. Therefore, especially if you have textured hair, once the braids are wet, your natural texture will return to the design. Going down the braid, it will appear frizzy or fuzzy on top. A style that rests close to your scalp, like cornrows, is where this most frequently occurs.

If you exercise, the same things need to be kept in mind. While certain designs of braids can cause your natural hair to frizz up once your body temperature rises, braids are great for keeping your natural hair in place when working up a sweat. Consider a thicker braid like a crown braid or a giant ponytail braid if you don’t want to gain too much weight while exercising. Contrary to what you may think, the heavier your overall style is, the tinier and denser your braids must be to avoid looking bulky.
