I Taught Myself How To Do A Silk Press At Home & This Is My Exact Method

I’m a DIY hair girlie, through and through. Early in the pandemic, I consulted friends and scoured YouTube to find a protective style I could master (crochet locs) and FINALLY figured out how to do a slicked-down bun. I’ve dyed my own hair since middle school and unless I’m trying a new cut, need a trim, or want to experience the absolute luxury of someone else washing my hair, I do my own silk presses too. As the weather has fluctuated throughout the season, my weekly wash, blow dry, and press has become routine. Knotless braids are calling me but when I inevitably return, I’m consulting this tutorial first.

P.S. It’s 11/11, make a wish!
