Silk Press
Im considering doing this. Is it worth the expense? Is it high maintenance?
Im considering doing this. Is it worth the expense? Is it high maintenance?
Hello! I’m Queen, located in Long Beach, CA. I’ve been natural for 24 years, of which 13 1/2 were loc’d. I released my locs nearing the end of 2016 and have been going through trials and experimenting with hair styles. Also, I have developed traction alopecia and am now in peri (if you know, you know). So my hair is still a new zone that I navigate. I have plenty of it but of course am most bothered by what’s missing and/or thin. Always looking for someone who specializes in healthy hair/scalp, can style within my limitations and who’s professional. I have that back home (Midwest) but have yet to make a great connection in So Cal (even after being here over 15 years, smh).
I myself have the same issues. But I have embraced natural wigs. So I go to the salon to have them wash, condition, give me a treatment (sometimes a trim as well) and give me a wig braid down so my hair and scalp are nourished. I usually buy wigs from HerGivenHair and I style and use products in it like it’s my own.
We have been programmed from the beginning to feel awkward about our hair and who we are. It may take time for us to realize how AWESOME we really are. 😊

I used to take my youngest daughter to get a silk press. The only thing is when you sweat its a wrap. 😂😂
