I had a silk press done back in February and was very pleased with the immediate result, but after multiple washes in the weeks following the treatment, a large majority of my hair remained bone straight. This was very upsetting because I had been growing my natural hair out for at least two years and no longer had my curls.
I went back to Nevaeh to inquire about the damage on my hair but was seemingly fed a bunch of nonsensical information about my hair lacking moisture, needing to be stripped, etc., even implying that putting my hair in box braids would “train” my hair to be curly again.
So after several months of washings and oil treatments and braids, there are parts of my hair that are still extremely straight. I am not sure what is in the products that she uses to treat people’s hair (I asked and was given a rundown of only the “natural” ingredients), but I’d venture to say that there are some chemicals or components in there with longer lasting straightening effects that contradict what is advertised. Very disappointing.
If they were going to do something that was akin to perming my hair, I would’ve appreciated a warning beforehand.
