How To Use Silk Curlers on Natural Hair?

Step 1: Cleanse Your Hair 

Use a sulfate free shampoo to cleanse your scalp. This step will ensure that you have a great base for your silk press.

Step 2: Deep Condition Your Hair 

Before using hot tools on your hair, you should always use a deep conditioning treatment because it helps prevent hair damage that may occur. 

You can choose to use a protein or moisturizing deep conditioning treatment. You can determine the treatment based on the current state of your hair. Protein treatments help your hair become stronger and more resistant to heat damage. Moisturizing treatments help protect your hair from breakage and reduce frizz. 

Once you choose your deep conditioner, leave the product in your hair for 30 minutes before you rinse it out with cool water.

Step 3: Apply A Heat Protectant 

Applying heat protectant is a step that you cannot skip if you want to avoid heat damage. Heat protectants help prevent heat damage.

Step 6: Apply the curlers to your hair. 

  1. Place the curler at the center of your head. Secure the curler in place with a jaw clip. 
  2. Twirl one section of your hair around the length of the foam curler as you would with a flexi rod. 
  3. Repeat steps 1-2 (listed above) for both sections of your hair.

Note: You can use flexirods to curl any stray hairs that did not make it into the curler.
