A silk press in the summer looks and feels amazing, but it requires strategy and a lot of upkeep. Between humidity, sweat, surprise rain showers, and steamy bathrooms, summer seems determined to test your hairstyle at every turn. The key to keeping your silk press looking sleek, shiny, and salon-fresh is understanding that moisture is your biggest challenge. Every choice you make, from the products you use to how you sleep at night, should be focused on protecting your hair from excess humidity, sweat, and heat damage. With the right routine, your silk press can survive much longer than you think, even during the hottest months of the year. Here are a few tips on how to keep your silk press looking fresh throughout the summer.
1. Avoid humidity or rain.
The first rule of summer silk press maintenance is to treat humidity like your personal arch-nemesis. Humidity has one goal: convincing your hair to return to its natural texture. To help prevent that, use lightweight anti-humidity products that create a protective barrier around the hair shaft, advises Maryland-based stylist JaiStylez on Instagram. A humidity-resistant spray or a silicone-based serum can help block moisture from penetrating your strands without making your hair feel heavy.
