GIRL. When I tell you I could NEVER get my hair straight and silky like this by myself I literally COULD NOT. I’ve watched every single TH-cam video and it never worked for my hair. I finally decided to use your video for my final attempt and girllll my hair looks absolutely AMAZING thank you for this video!!!
After watching your video I tried this on me and my daughter hair using some of the same products and when I tell you it worked. Our hair came out silky and straight. I give this tutorial 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Girlie, I think you just saved my hair from at least 3 more runs of silk press trial and error while I’m out on my own now and trying to save money. God BLESS you and your talent for teaching others.
I love seeing you chase it with a brush! I just did this the last time I flat ironed and realized it was so much better than using a comb, contrary to what many think. Your hair is gorgeous!
I never use a serum , just the chi heat protectant. Maybe that’s why my hair still be poofy. The serum is what I’m probably missing. Your hair looks great girl ❤❤❤
yes, from my understanding heat protectant is to fight damage to the curl pattern, etc. and serum is for silkiness and longevity in humid conditions. thank you for watching!
That was simple and clear instructions. I can follow that. And I love your voice, it's very calm and relaxing. Also I appreciated seeing a person do it on their own hair step by step. Thanks so much for taking the time to help someone else 😊
Good video, I think it's very informative regarding natural hair care. I just want to emphasize that at 11:15 time you were detangling with comb/brush, you should add additional water to make the conditioner have more slip therefore preventing breakage. You should never have to force the comb or brush thru your hair. Another alternative is the finger detangle prior to using brushes/combs.
using a regular shampoo and a clarifying one helps alot with making my hair feel extra clean try doing that instead of using regular shampoos and also cleaning ur hair straightener is so crucial because theres so much oil on the flat iron!!
This is the first video I've seen of yours. You did such a great job giving simple yet detailed instructions throughout the entire process. Also, your voice was more soothing and was encouraging than other videos I've seen. Thank you.
Hats off to you dear. I can't do my hair on my own. I just can't, I've tried it and fail until I gave up. Keep it up dear. You look pretty after its done. Maybe I'll try once more following your video.🎉❤
Thank you. I picked up a couple extra tips to do my granddaughter’s hair. I’ve gone from 2-3 hours to 1 1/2 hours. Now with your additional tips with products I’ve been looking for, we will both be happy with 45 minutes to an hour with even better results. 😊
I really hope you blow up! You did so good. Your voice was so clear and smooth. Your tips were informative and useful. Plus your hair turned out great 👏🏾
Boo don't get me wrong, u are absolutely GORGEOUS with your glasses on, but when the glasses came off, you turned into a whole model. Stunning! Your silk press was bodied AF too!
Christina. You need to focus deep conditioner on your ends. Your ends need the most deep conditioner as they are the driest and weakest parts of natural hair. Just a tip as it looks like you focus deep conditioner on your roots.
I just came across your video and you literally helped me. My mom always blow dried and straightened my hair for me and idk why since I moved out I can’t get it the same way that she used to do it. You have given me hope in myself again 😂😂😂
Thank you for answering. Why did you choose that particular titanium flat iron vs a ceramic flat iron?? I would love to know the differences and benefits of both.
@sylviathomas8237 titanium is for very kinky strands. . It's not advisable to use at home because it straightens very easily and if used improperly can cause heat damage very quickly Ceramic is for fine strands and or less dense hair. It is a lot more gentle because that type of hair straightens very easily There is one more that not enough naturals talk about and that is a tourmaline/ceramic blend. That is the one I use because I have fine med and medium strands and high density. If I need to touch up my roots during the week then I switch to my ceramic only flatiron on a lower temperature
Wow! You did an awesome silk press. I'm 56 I would love to be able to do my own silk press. I went to the salon to get it done. It did last an hour. Ninety dollars!! I was so pissed. Thank you for your tips. I'm going to try.
I’ve been wanting to get back into my straight natural hair routine but this video reminded me of why I started my loc journey 😢 this was a lot of work
This was so good. I haven’t done my own press in a while and this helps a lot. I’d love to see how it lasts over the week and how you go to bed with it and style again the next day
Your hair is so pretty. I want to get a silk press but I'm very tender headed so I hate going to a stylist. I use a lot of detangler because my curls love to clump up.
New subscriber. I feel more encouraged after watching this video. I never thought to use the heat protectant and the serum. Thank you. Your hair turned out great.
I miss my silk presses around this cold season.but I need my hair to get back to the way it was,so I have to sacrifice and train my hair to get back to the way it was,then I will wear my silk presses in the cold and my braid and loc styles in the heat❤
Hey girl I’m definitely going to try this next time my silk press never comes out like this at home when I do it myself but can you tell me what flat iron you used? The one I have needs to be disposed immediately.
Thank you, young beautiful sis. 1st off I see you repping Clark Atlanta, one of the AU center staples, much❤, So appreciate this very detailed video, thank you, I will be referencing this video on all my future silk presses.
Your hair looks amazing 😍 and thank you for showing how you do it on yourself from someone who is learning how to style her own hair vs keeping it in a ponytail. 😅
Just came across your video you did a great job. Your hair is lovely. Thanks for sharing those tips , will definitely keep this in my rotation to silk press.
HEY GIRLL thank you for the tutorial im def gonna follow it this weekend, i have a question? i dont have a titanium flat iron. i have a white conair flat iron. is that good??
My thing is the smell in my hair after the flat iron. Maybe the temp is too high. Am I the only one that get the smell after flat ironing? How can you avoid that?
I just attempted this and it came out straight and soft but very stiff 😭 I made sure to wash it well. Maybe I used too much serum lol I’m just terrified of my curls not returning so I wanted to be safe. And my hair didn’t get straight like this when blow drying either. Oh well, trial and error
This came out good! What heat settings did you use on the blow dryer? I wish Conair would make replaceable comb attachments for this particular blow dryer 😬
Hi, thanks for tuning in!! I just used a regular hard bristle brush flat iron: babyliss pro prima titanium (1 in) blow dryer: conair silverbird turbo dryer
GIRL. When I tell you I could NEVER get my hair straight and silky like this by myself I literally COULD NOT. I’ve watched every single TH-cam video and it never worked for my hair. I finally decided to use your video for my final attempt and girllll my hair looks absolutely AMAZING thank you for this video!!!
omgggggg I'm so glad this video helped you and that you thought to come back and tell your story!! The support is much appreciated lovely❤
Your "little" tips are actually great ones.
thank you Auntie!🥰
You right, being gentle is crucial.
After watching your video I tried this on me and my daughter hair using some of the same products and when I tell you it worked. Our hair came out silky and straight. I give this tutorial 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
finally a natural sis washing hair in a sink again. I know the shower is awesome but sometimes its convenient outside of the shower ijs.
I hate washing my hair in the shower! Kitchen sink for me lol
Just get a long adjustable shower head hose. You can slightly bend over your tube without your back hurting using one of those.
I know right! I’m old school! I only wash my hair in the sink
Sink life all day ❤
I like your idea
Girlie, I think you just saved my hair from at least 3 more runs of silk press trial and error while I’m out on my own now and trying to save money. God BLESS you and your talent for teaching others.
I love seeing you chase it with a brush! I just did this the last time I flat ironed and realized it was so much better than using a comb, contrary to what many think. Your hair is gorgeous!
yes, it makes your hair so much smoother with less passes! thank you so much for watching lovely💕
Very nice and easy easy 😂
@@Christinajscwhere‘s it from?😊
Wonderful! I’m a white woman that has extremely naturally dry frizzy hair. Watching videos such as yours has helped me learn so much.❤ Thank you!
I never use a serum , just the chi heat protectant. Maybe that’s why my hair still be poofy. The serum is what I’m probably missing. Your hair looks great girl ❤❤❤
yes, from my understanding heat protectant is to fight damage to the curl pattern, etc. and serum is for silkiness and longevity in humid conditions. thank you for watching!
What was the temperature on the dryer and flat iron?
Did the curls revert back? Your looks healthy and gorgeous.
What serum did she use ?
That was simple and clear instructions. I can follow that. And I love your voice, it's very calm and relaxing. Also I appreciated seeing a person do it on their own hair step by step. Thanks so much for taking the time to help someone else 😊
thank you!
You did such a beautiful job young lady! You just taught me about a "wax stick". lol I'm going to invest in one. Thanks alot. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!
Really detailed! Can you do a video on how to maintain a silk press? Thank you
your hair is so beautiful, lovely straight results
This is the first video I've seen of yours. You did such a great job giving simple yet detailed instructions throughout the entire process. Also, your voice was more soothing and was encouraging than other videos I've seen. Thank you.

You did a beautiful job mama. Thank you for the bristle brush tip. ❤😊
Thank you for creating this video. It’s been a game changer for wash day!
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous
thank you!!
I've never tried the brush trick with the blow drying or flat iron. Will be trying it soon. Your hair is gorgeous thank you
This is the best one I’ve seen!!! What flat iron are you using?
Boo don't get me wrong, u are absolutely GORGEOUS with your glasses on, but when the glasses came off, you turned into a whole model. Stunning! Your silk press was bodied AF too!
Finally someone with the same hair texture/curl pattern as me! I usually do pretty good with my silk presses but this helped so much! Thank you!
Christina. You need to focus deep conditioner on your ends. Your ends need the most deep conditioner as they are the driest and weakest parts of natural hair.
Just a tip as it looks like you focus deep conditioner on your roots.
I was gonna say the same thing. Plus deep conditioner on the scalp causes build up a lot quicker.
Your hair is so healthy and beautiful!! Definitely gonna be using some of your helpful tips with my hair.
I just came across your video and you literally helped me. My mom always blow dried and straightened my hair for me and idk why since I moved out I can’t get it the same way that she used to do it. You have given me hope in myself again 😂😂😂
Lovely results, do you mind sharing what brand your flat iron & blow dryer is?
thank you for watching!

I knew once I seen how straight your hair got after blow drying it, it was over! You’re hair is beautiful ❤
Wow! You did an awesome silk press. I'm 56 I would love to be able to do my own silk press. I went to the salon to get it done. It did last an hour. Ninety dollars!! I was so pissed. Thank you for your tips. I'm going to try.
Thank you for sharing the list of products that you used.
Omg your method is quite literally genius I’m so happy I found your video 😭😭😭

Thank you! 😊
New subscriber. I feel more encouraged after watching this video. I never thought to use the heat protectant and the serum. Thank you. Your hair turned out great.
What heat level do you blow dry and flat iron? And also how do you avoid your hair being brittle and dry when you apply heat? Thanks!
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Btw your hair is beautiful!

I miss my silk presses around this cold season.but I need my hair to get back to the way it was,so I have to sacrifice and train my hair to get back to the way it was,then I will wear my silk presses in the cold and my braid and loc styles in the heat❤
Hey girl I’m definitely going to try this next time my silk press never comes out like this at home when I do it myself but can you tell me what flat iron you used? The one I have needs to be disposed immediately.
what temp is your flat iron on?
And how often do you fat iron your hair?
hey, thanks for watching! my flat iron is on 450 and i usually only flat iron about 3 times out of the year.
Thank you, young beautiful sis. 1st off I see you repping Clark Atlanta, one of the AU center staples, much❤, So appreciate this very detailed video, thank you, I will be referencing this video on all my future silk presses.
Hair looks so good ❤
Great tips! Your hair looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾
Hello. Love your video, I will be following this when i do my hair. How do/did you wrap your hair after to maintain the silk press?
I love your curly hair it’s sooo beautiful
Starting simping when she pulled her hair back and revealed her cheek bones. So pretty❤
Your hair is so beautiful! I don’t know if you mentioned this but what temperature on your flat iron do you use? How long does your silk press last?
Thank you for this wonderful video. Will be following your steps as well as product choices on my daughter's hair🥰

babyliss pro titanium iron
Just came across your video you did a great job. Your hair is lovely. Thanks for sharing those tips , will definitely keep this in my rotation to silk press.
Realizing my sections maybe too thick 😅, but using serum seems like a great idea as well!
Wow! So nice. You have so much patience.
I have this blow dryer and I LOVE it. The worst part about it is the comb attachment
HEY GIRLL thank you for the tutorial im def gonna follow it this weekend, i have a question? i dont have a titanium flat iron. i have a white conair flat iron. is that good??

Great job with taking care of your hair. The hair is healthy ‼️❤️😍
I love this video it help me a lot. Thank you for sharing your tips with us.
Love the results! What flat iron were you using??
Looks very nice. How is a silk press different from flatironing your hair?
Thank you so much cause im about to straighten my hair and every time i have frizzines i think ik what I'm doing wrong
Is there another substitute for the shower cap when getting under the dryer? I forgot to get mine. 😅
I like her she explain everything
My thing is the smell in my hair after the flat iron. Maybe the temp is too high. Am I the only one that get the smell after flat ironing? How can you avoid that?

I'm only 2.5 minutes in, but the music 🎶🎵 is bang-ing so far!!😊
Girl thank you so much for your advices😊
This taught me so much!!! Thank you😊
Please forgive me if you already mentioned this, but what type of flat iron were you using?
please how did you grow your hair, what did you use
I just attempted this and it came out straight and soft but very stiff 😭 I made sure to wash it well. Maybe I used too much serum lol I’m just terrified of my curls not returning so I wanted to be safe. And my hair didn’t get straight like this when blow drying either. Oh well, trial and error
This came out good! What heat settings did you use on the blow dryer? I wish Conair would make replaceable comb attachments for this particular blow dryer 😬
i used the middle heat setting and high blow setting on the blow dryer. a comb attachment came with this blow dryer for me actually!
should I straighten on high or low heat?
What setting of heat do you use when blow drying?
Wow ! What brush , blow dryer and silk press tool did you use?! Thanks so much for the video
Hi, thanks for tuning in!!
I just used a regular hard bristle brush
flat iron: babyliss pro prima titanium (1 in) blow dryer: conair silverbird turbo dryer
What kind of flat iron are you using and what temperature did you have it on ?
Thanks I needed this because it's cold outside
