1 Hour Silk Press Routine On Natural Hair

Hey everyone welcome back to my channel. This is going to be my one hour: silk press routine um here, I'm starting off here with my shampoos, jumping right on into it. I'M using the bond Bar number four shampoo from Sally's and then the knives are all anti-dandruff shampoo um. I got this on Amazon because severic dermatitis has plagued my life since birth for my conditioner, I'm using the matching bonbar number five conditioner and then for my leave-ins. I'M using the caracare foam, wrap the affigy green tea, the FG like spray conditioner and then a little bit of Biosilk uh, just as my serum um. This is me as I'm getting ready to wash my hair, I'm going to let y'all know right now. This video is very much giving exhausted school teacher who does not have enough time in her life um, so we're just gon na put that out there right now, but this is me taking down my hair just so you guys kind of see what I'm working with We'Re working with a dirty old ponytail and we're going to wash it we're going to get it back right. So this is me just wash my hair. I do want to say that my hair texture has changed a lot, not from the heat, but a few years ago, like half of my hair fell out from iron deficiency, and the hair that grew back in is like this uh different texture. So I it is what it is. You know we work with it. Um, I'm just detangling, my hair, my hair is not difficult to detangle. The brush goes through it, pretty easy, I'm sectioning it off. This is my Silver Bird blow dryer and I'm just blow drying. My hair, I only blow dry, my hair on medium heat. I don't ever do high heat because I straighten my hair so frequently. I straighten it almost every single week, so I use medium heat just to try to like minimize any potential heat damage or anything like that. So you just see me blowing it out pretty much and guys when I say that this takes an hour, I mean it takes an hour from me washing my head sticking it in the sink until I wrap my hair like I've perfected it I've gotten down now That is with my hair texture. If you have a different hair texture than me, it may take you more or less time, but I've been able to get my routine down for me personally into an hour, and I apologize for my Dusty appearance appearance. What is that's not even a real word, my Dusty appearance, the entire video. I had gotten off work and I was like you know what it is, what it is. It was late at night, I've been teaching all day. You know um real life, real life stuff. Here, um, but yeah, you guys see me blowing it out on medium and it's not like the straightest blow dry ever but like it's, I'm able to go in with flat iron and get it silky. Like that's my goal um. So here it is completely blow dried. You guys can kind of see um what I'm working with here. I had a trim, probably like two months ago um, so my hair is kind of grown out from that trim. But you see it's like not the straightest blow dry in the world, but it's straight enough for me to get it straight with my flat iron. So now I'm going in with my rat tail comb, I'm parting, my hair, like kind of neat sections, but not like professional sections, but I always split my hair into. I always end up putting it into quadrants in the end. Just because, like the girls who start like you know those girls who start at the nape of their neck and then like go up like up their head, I don't I don't know how to do that. Like my coordination is not is not there like. I got ta section my hair in the quadrants and then I got ta go up each quadrant. I can't just do a long section from the back. I don't know if you're one of those people that do you do that, like God bless, couldn't be me, but you do what you need to do to get your hair done. So here I am I'm going in I'm straight in my kitchen. First, um, I'm getting it just straight enough. My flat iron is probably on about I'd, say approximately, like 400 ish degrees um, it doesn't have a marker on it just for 400. It like jumps from like 320 to 450, and I'm like um, okay, like somewhere in the middle. There has to be 400, so my goal when I'm aiming for it to be on is 400 degrees, but I'm going through my hair. I try to stick to like a minimum-ish or no that's the wrong word. A maximum of two passes per piece. Obviously, sometimes I do more um, but I try to stick to like two passes per piece, because I really don't want to damage my hair, like my curls, that I have with my new different curl texture. Since all of my hair fell out like I really want to maintain that because I do like to wear my hair curly in the summer um and I don't want to damage it doing all of the straightening. But I just kind of sped up these clips because I'm straightening my hair, it's pretty it's the same, like method over and over again going over each piece of hair, a couple of times um taking relatively small sections and then moving on to the next section um. I would say like blow drying, my hair probably takes 20 minutes, so the wash probably takes 15., the blow dryer probably takes 20 and then the flat iron takes whatever the rest of the time. Is I don't I'm bad at head math. That'S what I always tell my students they'll be like Miss. What is this? I'M like y'all know that I don't do head math go ask the math teacher, because I am the science teacher and I am I'm not doing any head calculations um. But overall, like my hair used to take me like two and a half hours - and I was like I'm not about this life, so finally, I was able to get it down to about an hour and a half um. You can see here, I'm doing like that. Top front section, I'm almost done with my hair, I'm on the last quadrant. Oh, is that the last piece of wait hold on nope. I broke it into two. You know like when your lady is almost done doing your hair and she's like nah says: that's like three more pieces and you like. Oh my bad, I didn't know that, but here I am taking out my bobby pins, brushing my hair, I'm going over each piece with a flat iron. Just because you know, when you be doing your hair in the bathroom and then start getting a little frizzy like automatically, even though you haven't gone outside yeah, we trying to take care of all of that. So I'm coming it through I'm gon na do a little length check for you guys. So you might look at my hair and say: oh, she needs a trim. No! No! I do not need a trim. I had to trim two months ago and those are my lead hairs and if I cut them off, it's going to grow back just like that. If you don't know where the lead hairs are please look into that um, but that is my routine. Like it's super simple, I'm gon na put a little bit of serum on my hair. You know seal in all of the goodness um before I wrap it up. Most of the time, I do not leave my hair straight like this, I actually put a little bit of a wave a little bit of a curl in it, um, which you're gon na see in the in the pictures in a few moments. Um, please let me know if you want to see how I get like that wavy like effortless. Look, it's super easy. Anyone could do it um. This was actually the next day. This is my hair. You see I added like a little bit of wave to it, but this is how my hair normally looks um so yeah. Thank you. You guys so much for watching, and I will see you in my next video bye.
