*DETAILED DIY SILK PRESS ON NATURAL HAIR | SALON QUALITY RESULTS

[@hereforit2347]

You are CORRECT! The smaller the flat-ironing sections the better! It will take longer but the results? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mekalae]

Yes!! It takes some extra minutes but I mean if I already spent a lot of time washing, deep conditioning and blow drying then I might as well take the extra step to make sure it turns out good😂❤️

It looks like you got your silk press done at a salon now that's a salon quality type of silk press without paying people. Thank you for this video I've been wanting to learn how to do a salon quality silk press. I got my hair silk press a couple years ago and it looked more like a blow dryed silk press than a silk press I am learning so much by watching your silk press videos

[@mekalae]

Thank you so much!!!❤️ happy I could help

[@hereforit2347]

I only use Tresemmé Heat Protectant on my silk press. No oils, serums, or leave-ins. ❤

[@mekalae]

Nice!❤️ I tried using only heat protectant spray once and my hair puffed back up the same day lol😂💜

[@hereforit2347]

@@mekalae: Really? Oh, wow. I had the opposite experience. The heat protectant helped my press last WAY longer and my hair isn’t heat trained at all.

Do you use any bond treatments? If you don’t your hair is so healthy without it.

[@mekalae]

Thank you! And no I don’t actually, I’ve been looking into trying a bond repair line like k18 but I’m doing some more research. If you have any recommendations please share 🙏🏾💜

[@itstawanza]

@@mekalae Hello, I know you didn't ask me, but here's some recommendations. I've liked the Fanola Fiber Fix set, but I think the US distributor stopped selling it. 2 affordable dupes from Korea are Lador Hydro LPP Treatment and Elizavecca CER 100 Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment. I like all of them since I have relaxed hair, but since your hair is natural you shouldn't need them more than once a month. Hope this helps beautiful! 🤗💖

[@mekalae]

Thank you!! I’ll look into these!!💜💜

How do you maintain your ends when it’s in its curly state and when you straighten it? Your hair has grown so much😍

[@mekalae]

I don’t wear my hair in it’s naturally curly state, only in braid outs. When it’s straight I wrap it every night, wear a bonnet and oil my ends when necessary❤️

[@rebbeca9822]

hello how much temperature you use with the flat iron ? (in celsius not farenheit please)

[@mekalae]

Hi, I use it at 210 degrees Celsius

[@rebbeca9822]

@@mekalae thank you ! you have a very beautiful hair !! I have a very fine hair so when I do my silk press it is moving like yours and my roots revert back very quickly. Did u have tips for that ? because I do sport many times on a week and do not want to choose between sport and my hair. Keep doing this !!

[@mekalae]

You’re welcome! I used to be a cheerleader and I also used to be in the gym nearly everyday, I always put my hair up and tie it in a bun with a cotton or sports headband over my hairline since that’s where I sweat the most. I don’t sweat much in my scalp honestly so I’m not sure how to prevent it from reverting. Hope this helps 💜

Is the Chi serum a heat protectant also? Or no, I used it as a heat protectant and now I’m worried 😦

[@mekalae]

Hey sorry for the late reply, but the chi website says it does function as a heat protectant but it doesn’t specify to which temperature, so I always use another form of heat protection that goes up to 450 degrees just incase💖💖
