I GOT MY FIRST SILK PRESS AT URBAN NIRVANA 🥰

Downtown Greenville Sc
6/16 Edited to

... Read moreGetting my first silk press at Urban Nirvana was truly an experience that transformed my curly hair routine. If you’re considering trying a silk press, one important thing I learned is to find a salon that understands curly hair textures and uses the right techniques and products to preserve your hair’s health. During the session, the stylist carefully washed, conditioned, and deep-treated my curls to prepare them for the heat styling. This step is crucial because it hydrates the hair and creates a smooth base. I was amazed by how gentle the process was despite the straightening element involved. The actual pressing involved using a ceramic flat iron at a controlled temperature to avoid damage while achieving that silky straight finish. I noticed my curls retained their bounce and shine without any dryness or breakage, which was a huge relief. Post-press care is just as important; my stylist recommended light oils and satin scarves to maintain the style and protect my hair overnight. From my experience, a silk press isn’t just a beauty upgrade but also a great way to switch styles while keeping your curly hair healthy. If you have naturally curly hair like me, I highly recommend trying a silk press at a reputable salon like Urban Nirvana, especially if you want sleek, shiny hair without chemical straighteners. Always communicate your hair needs clearly, and invest in good aftercare to prolong your look. Overall, this experience has made me appreciate the versatility of curly hair and the artistry involved in silk pressing.

A silk press is not a relaxer, boo 🤭 If you’ve never had a silk press before and it’s 95° outside with humidity, a little puffiness is normal. Healthy natural hair is going to respond to moisture. Want longer lasting results? Ask about adding a smoothing treatment to your silk press. It h

Deciding to become a straight natural was a hard decision because I have been natural for most of my life. As my hair gets longer and life gets busier, it’s harder to maintain and honestly, I just got too tired to deal with it every single day! Yes I love my curls and think curls are GORGEOUS! But

I’m so happy I tried this viral Dominican Hair Secret thanks to Melissa. I got mine from Amazon, it’s linked❤️. The true test will be if my natural curls return on my next wash day. It’s supposed to help with strength, shedding and heat protection… all resulting in length retention. #ampolla
