What should I expect from the Curl Culture community?
The Curl Culture Services is for those who are seeking to learn their curls in a new way. This service covers products, usage, and the WHY! These clients are ready to possibly ditch all of their old hair products in exchange for products that work and support the health and longevity of your hair with your hair goals in mind. It is recommended after starting the curl rehab in the 30 day detox that you begin to wash your hair every 7 to 10 days to form healthy habits of resetting your hair and giving it the appropriate hydration it needs to thrive.
What should I expect from the Silk Press Services
When getting a service under the Silk Press tab, you are getting a wholistic treatment of hair and scalp. Clients seeking these services are ready to follow healthy hair practices in order for your salon visits to benefit you at optimum satisfaction. Some of these services come with steam treatments, Olaplex treatments, or Trims. FIRST TIME CLIENTS MUST BOOK “NEW CLIENT SILK PRESS”
How often do you recommend trimming your hair?
I recommend trimming every 10-16 weeks depending on your growth pattern and lifestyle. If you know your hair begins to split at a certain time, get them cut sooner than later. No product revives dead.
What Olaplex do you use in the salon?
Use Olaplex 1 in your hair color formulation or as a stand alone treatment followed by number 2. I suggest Olaplex 0 and 3 or just Olaplex 3 based on your desired need.
What Amino Acid Treatment do you use? And what does it do?
I use the Design Essentials Amino Acid Treatment. This treatment usually lasts between six and 12 weeks before it needs to be applied again. You can wear your hair straight or curly with the amino acid treatment. It reduces the hair swelling and frizziness bye depositing amino acids into the hair shaft. This is in no way like a relaxer. A relaxer breaks disulfide bonds of the hair and reforms them. The DEAAT washes off over time.
What products do you use in the salon?
I am brand agnostic which means I am not dedicated, or tied to one specific line. I use different shampoo, conditioner, and styling agents depending on your specific request and hair need.
What products do you sell at the salon?
In retail, we have Olaplex, Innersense, Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic, AG Naturals, and Kenra silk press serum and blow dry cream.

Silk Press FAQs
** Disclaimer **: If you hair is dehydrated, your silk press longevity will be around four to seven days.
Prep for your appointment: Hair should be taken out of any previous style and completely detangled. Clients cannot have used oils or waxes in their hair 14 days prior to silk press appointment. If so, wash your hair with Kinky Curly Come Clean or Malibu Un-doo Goo.
Clarify Your Hair: As stated, if any oil or wax was used in styling your hair in the last 14 days please clarify with Malibu Un-Doo Goo or Kinky Curly Come Clean. If residue is present in the hair upon appointment, this can result in heat damage.
After Care: Products applied are heat activated, do not add any extra products after appointment. This will cause heat damage and product build-up. Clients are advised to wash their hair within seven to ten days post appointment.
Why is my hair frizzy after a silk press: Two major reasons why your hair will frizz up after a silk press. First, It may be dehydrated. If you are not using the correct products, shampooing, often, or wearing a lot of protective styles, your hair is dehydrated. Your hair will find any opportunity to acquire hydration. This is how frizzing happens. Second reason may be because of your hair type. Fine, cottony hair types are usually porous. Highly porous hair gains and releases moisture fairly quickly which results in frizzing hair.
Science behind silk press: Silk press is using an anti-humectant to stop the hair from reverting or frizzing out. It’s not one single product that creates the silk effect. it starts with the detox of all buildup and minerals, then the balance of pH through conditioning. and finally, the products and process of the blow dry and flatiron.
