Hi people!

It's been over two weeks since I did my silkpress and it's still going strong.

Using products on silkpressed hair is difficult because most of them contain water ...and water will cause my silkpress to revert quickly.

So I apply oil (not silicone serums to avoid build-up) to keep my hair supple. This time, I used Ruutos LOC Butter.

It has really good oils and butters such as sheabutter, cocoa butter, macadamia seed oil, avocado oil etc for nourishing the scalp and keeping straightened hair supple. A little goes a long way!

My favorite part is that it has a little hold to keep my hair laid without having to use a gel.
A gel would cause my hair to revert.

Also, since my hair won't be moisturised with water, I try to reduce manipulation and do gentle protective styles.
These styles also help keep my hair stretched.

Here's what I've done so far!









I also created some 1 min video tutorials to help you recreate these styles.
Here's the link to the videos
