3 Tips To Make Your Silk Press Last Over A Month! 

As a straight haired natural since about 2013, I get an amino acid hair treatment (Design Essentials STS) once a year during the summer. Amino acid hair treatments help to strengthen the hair and help your hair to not revert when in hot and humid weather. I would also say unless you have a coarse hair texture, steer clear of titanium flat irons. I have low porosity fine textured hair and my curl pattern does not like titanium flat irons. I find my hair does better with ceramic flat irons. I know has a straight haired natural my curl pattern will loosen over time. But titanium completely straightens my curl pattern. Also, Olaplex will aid in strengthening the bonds of your hair as a straight haired natural. Olaplex (no. 6)has an amazing leave in conditioner.

That makeup is A1 sis

My daughter has waist length natural hair, I've been keeping it straight with a light press since school started. I still moisture her hair daily. I use Lotta Body Moisturize Me Curl and Style Milk, just a dime size focusing on her ends and I brush it in an seal with a drop of my favorite shea oil and her hair stays healthy and does not revert. Sometimes with kids the weight product adds can help the style last. Most people should still moisturize their hair while straight, IMO.

I just straightened my hair. And I think I’ll keep it straight for a while. I was just so over the single strand knots and detangling.

No matter how many tips I follow my hair does not stay straight for more than a week. I always have to add more heat. I think it depends on your hair and the climate of the area you live in. Nothing works to keep my hair straight. The humidity here is awful. In winter it stays more.

So beautiful! Very helpful I just straightened my hair I’ll try your tips out for week 👌🏾

Brosia I love this whole look especially that eye shadows look AMAZING!! 💕

Girll I thought about this the other day and I reminded myself how you said it’s dry where you are lol. So my hair will nevaaaaa in Jersey. Nevaaaa. Plus I workout 👀 Nevaaaa lol

Your makeup is everything!

I’ve been waiting on this video! Thanks for the tips!

Omg yesssss I’ve been waiting for this video forever, got mine to last almost 3 weeks but yesterday I just straightened it again, trying to make it last longer so this vid came right in time 😊

If I could look like anyone in this world, it would be Ambrosia 😍 You’re beautiful inside and out

Listennnn!!! Here in the south, a silk press might last a week lol But when I visited LA, my skin started getting dry on the plane.

Thank you!! I'm going straight for a while, this was helpful :)

Last time I got my hair straightened was December 2010 or 2011 for my birthday. December. The winter time! Here in southeast Georgia’s humidity, my hair started proofing that very same night. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Conversely when I visited AZ, I don’t even remember sweating. In other news, I liked what your hair was giving me right out of the Bantu knots. Looked low key like soft beach waves.

Great tips and girl yes climate is key. Living in AL is like living in the rainforest it rains so much here😭 and there's always moisture in the air even during the winter months.

I love!! your old silk press. So beautiful!! and healthy hair.

I can’t wait to see how you wrap your hair. My stylist is always harping on me to wrap my hair...but I just don’t know how 😫

Yasssss golden!!! Proud of you!!! All these tips you gave were totally on point!!!!! Coming from a professional hairstylist!! These are all tips I give my clients!!!! It can be be very simple to keep up straight natural hair!!!!! Allowing your own natural oils to come through even if you need a little help with other oils from time to time. One of the best hair advice video.

Super cute! I recently chopped off several inches of hair for a bob cut and I absolutely love it!

Great video please do a video on how you get your silk press!!!

Same here. I believe good products are the essential basic. I wear a silk press short pixie and use self-adhesive rollers, a bit of serum for shine, and avoid water without a covering, and my hairdo looks excellent for a month.😆🙏

Thank you for sharing!! Very helpful!

Wow, your makeup is gorgeous!

I wish I could do this but I live in the Barbados where humidity is always above 70%

I'd love to know where you go to get your silk press here in AZ! Your hair looks amazing 😍 Been on the hunt looking for someone to do my hair!

Lovely! I love the way it frames your face. Do you plan to keep it straight for a while?

Love this makeup look!

I wasn't prepared to face this beauty ... close up ... in the camera. So much beauty.

I’m in el mirage and my hair does seem to dry out more than I’m used to, but using a styling balm has helped my hair stay moisturized

I’m going to straighten my hair soon. You make a good point brosia to wrap every night without getting lazy. That’s my problem after the third day I’m already sleeping with buns or a ponytail and so the next day I have a bump. I have to stop being lazy and wrap it every night even if I wear my hair up all day. Can’t wait to have a break from my natural hair especially because I’m about to give birth! Straight hair will be easier for me to maintain after baby 💕

Just what I was waiting for ❗️🥰

When you said if you lived in New Orleans I immediately gave a side eye cuz I'm from NOLA and got my hair pressed yesterday a d it didnt last 24hrs and I came here for help but now I know ALL HOPE IS LOST 😂😂😂😂😂. Somes I dislike living here lol

This video helped a lot. Thanks!

Actually like the hair after the bantu knots. Looks like and editorial hair stile and those waves actually help the hair to prevent it self from puffing

I subscribed to your channel cause I love your videos and Im also from Arizona.

You are blessed to be able to wear a silk press broisia! If I ever try look this on my hair it’ll last for 1hour.upstate New York has a lot of moisture in the air and so does my job 😂😂

Rite on time for fall it’s no way I won’t sweat out a silk press rite now in Texas. I would love to see a video on wrapping your hair.

Honey! I live one state over in New Mexico we on that same struggle bus. The day I got my hair silk pressed it had the NERVE to rain! I'm just glad I'm from the midwest and I still keep umbrellas in my car. And I took one in to the shop because I was like if this weather decide to throw craps I'm gone be M-A-D. Mine is lasting so far for the same reasons as yours. I had to touch it up because I worked out and sweated but all the stuff you do I do too out here in this dry desert land.

I liked the waves from the bantu knots. I live in a very dry climate too and my straight hair last a long time. Love your eye shadow.

I love her bobbed haircut, her makeup, and her earrings and her nose piercing 😍💙

I really liked your hair, this time last year, where you did a trim. I wish we could have seen it long and flat ironed before the cut. It still looks good short though.

Gurl, makeup look⁉️ I really want to straighten my hair for bday next month but not sure humidity will have dropped enuf where I live.

omg i used to watch you about 10 yrs ago. i had yahoo email. youtube forced everyone to use gmail so i lost your channel. glad i found it!

Gorgeous!! What lippie is this? So beautiful.

I have been natural all my life, but I havent blown out my hair or flat ironed it in four years. I really want to try a silk press and actually go to a salon, but I'm so nervous of this dry scalp of mine! I live in a humid city so I know it wouldn't last long. Maybe I will try around Thanksgiving. You look bomb!

That hair and face beat is amazing!

I've been waiting for this video sis BUT can we please get a tutorial for your Makeup tho, Yassss! 💜💜💜💜

Ambrosia, you are wearing that nose ring. And let me tell you, your hair is so becoming on you with either Style: natural twist or the silk press . . . Both are complementary with your face. BTW, I just recently got my nose pierced in June, and I love the accessory that you have in your nose. Celeste, in the ATL😎

I live in TX, humid and rains every other day. It's unfortunately a no for me dawg. 😭

Your intro is so amazing-

Try using pin curls to get the bump back. It gives a great curl, that you can wrap and turn into fire volume.

I love your hair and skin Goddess! ❤️🥰

i live in Baton Rouge (an hour from New Orleans) and whew the humidity is crazyyy here. lol btw, your makeup is beautiful! 😍

Great tips❤️

My issues are humidity and hot showers! I need my showers to burn my skin to feel clean! Lol my hair puffs up instantly in the humidity of Maryland. I swear it’s like we live in a swamp area sometimes it’s so much moisture in the air.

Good GAWD the face tho! Sis you IS gorgeous! 😫😍

Yeah, I leave in Texas. The humidity here is enough to where it makes you want to cry. 🤦🏽‍♀️ You gave some great tips, though. I appreciate cha, sis! 🤗

You're gorgeous I really want to try a silk press my natural hair is very long but thin. Maybe a trim and press

Oh wow I live in Arizona too. In Mesa I’m trying to move to phoenix or Gilbert. Mesa is so boring.

Those nosebleeds are real lol! When I was a kid we moved form L.A to Pomona and I got nose bleeds when I started school because the air was so much dryer than what I was used to in Los Angeles especially living somewhat close to the beach.

When I visited AZ in 2015, I knew I couldn't live there... beautiful place (I was in Phoenix), but baby, that air is *cough* *cough* DRY😩 I didn't suffer from nose bleeds, but my throat was sore after day 5!

LOL ! girl, i live in arizona too. no humidity is great for silk press lol

I know this is about the silk press but can we get a tutorial on the makeup

Beautiful Queen! 😍😍😍

Lol I’m in New Orleans and your absolutely correct, struggle is real....

Ambrosia what is up with you lately ? You are glowing dont know if it the new hair ,or the make up or I don't know I am missing my words . Main point is you look great

You said it right. I live in Louisiana and that press will revert when you step out of the salon. LA's heat is above 90 degrees and humidity is above 80%. There's no way someone is going to get a silk press in August/September and have it last that long out here.

Love your videos! Where did you get your headscarf from?

I'm moving to Vegas. This video gives me hope. Yes! Haa

What oils do you use to keep it refreshed and too oily ?

Great advice

I try to keep my hair straight but I’ll not wrap my hair and sweat it out or workout and sweat it out. To bump your ends you should try finger curls.

Love your earrings!

When the video started and you said you have 3 tips, the first thing i thought was, “what about when you’re in the shower?!” And of course, that was the best tip. lol. My hair would’ve been reverted cause my showers are always steammmyyyyyyyy!! Hair still look GOODT!

It was kind of humid today, it is dry out here! Preach

how do you deal with smell? like from your scalp or the smell of the outside?

You should watches , Happy Stylish Mommy She’s been natural for at least 5 years and she has an unique way in maintains her pressed and natural hair and it stays bouncy with curls

DRY SHAMPOO IS LIFE when you're trying to stretch a straight hairstyle. Also, I use one of those treatments that helps keep the hair straight naturally until you wash it out with a sulfate shampoo.

It looks pretty but I like clean hair. I do heat once and month, wash n go for 3 weeks and get pressed on the 4th or for special occasions.

Great tips

Please recommend San Francisco Bay Area Beautition!!

Oh man, lucky you living in Arizona! I live in Louisiana so it's nothing but heat and humidity here.

I love to pin curl mine. It looks cute even as it reverts...

What you use to moisturize your ends when it's straight?

I had so much hope until she stated she lived in AZ 😫. Living in Louisiana or the south in general with all this humidity your silkpress might last a week, & let's not even mention working out😔

Brosiaa I love you girl😘😘

How often do you oil your hair and scalp?

I just straightened my natural hair today. Im in Texas. Anxiety is on 10 worried about frizz! Lol

How do you keep your scalp from smelling sour after the first week ?!

Great video! What lip combo are you wearing?

i had one the past Saturday and it not cute any more. i sweat a lot and its not retain heat

Not @ me in Florida -_- the weather is bipolar here so you never know what you'll get. It got really cold the other night and it's April!

Thank you 😘

I work out daily and I live in the South. A silk press would last only few hours for me!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Will you continue to straighten? Thanks for the video!

Baybeeh I tapped the video so quick. A month you said ? Dats what I'm talking about sis

The way I workout I could never keep my hair straight pass the time I left the salon..lol

You are so pretty.

I love your look (hair and makeup)...my issue is working out. When I press my hair, I dont workout for the 2 weeks it's straightened and I feel so fraudulent for choosing my hair over the gym.
