Silk Press and Texture Release Results

Hey beauties! Here at Perfektion Hair Salon, we are thrilled to share some fantastic news about our latest styling options that promise to revolutionize your hair care routine. If you’re seeking a sleek, smooth look with the flexibility to rock those natural curls whenever you want, our Smoothing Treatment paired with the Avlon Texture Release System is your ultimate hair solution. Let’s get into what makes these treatments so special and how it’s different from a regular silk press.

Avlon Amino-Acid Smoothing/Texture Release Treatment

One of our many talented hairstylists, Ashleigh, has been working magic with the Avlon Texture Release System, an innovative amino acid treatment that redefines manageability and style flexibility for all hair types. This system is designed not only to give you that coveted silky press but also to enhance the natural beauty of your curls without harsh chemicals. Check out the example of her work in the picture above.

Treatment Details and Pricing:

Price: Starting at $225.00 for services at Perfektion Hair Salon
Description: This treatment allows you to maintain your natural curl pattern without permanently straightening your hair. The heat-activated system uses amino acids and conditioning chemicals that deeply permeate the hair fibers, offering style variety and longer-lasting silk presses.

For those seeking the latest technology, hair steamers are fantastic for penetrating deeper into the hair shaft, but they can be expensive. If it’s not feasible to invest in one, consider regular salon visits or simply stick with the traditional methods at home.

Here’s What You Can Expect:

Ease of Application: Many of our clients, including feedback from dedicated forums like longhaircareforums.com, have found the application process straightforward and user-friendly. Preparing your hair with treatments such as Olaplex and Redken Extreme CAT Reconstructing Treatment, as our clients did, can significantly bolster the health of your hair before applying the Avlon system.
Customizable Results: Whether you desire a slight loosening of your curls or full straightness, the Avlon system is versatile. By adjusting the heat settings and the number of passes with a flat iron, you can tailor the finish to your preference. This treatment allows you to switch between curly and straight styles without committing to a permanent texture change.
Protection and Shine: The treatment includes a heat protectant to safeguard your hair during styling, ensuring a shiny, healthy finish that feels like silk. Clients have reported no breakage during the application and a remarkable reduction in detangling time.
Durability: One of the most impressive aspects of this treatment is how long the results last. Our clients have enjoyed their straight style until the next wash, and even then, the revert to curls is soft and manageable, with enhanced texture that remains easy to style.

Cornrows with Long Hair

How to Do Cornrows

So, wanna learn how to lay down those perfect cornrows? First thing’s first, make sure your hair is detangled and moisturized. Use a rat-tail comb to part your hair into the desired sections. Apply a smoothing gel to each section as you go to keep your braids neat and flyaway-free. Remember, the tighter you braid, the sleeker the look, but don’t pull too hard—you want to keep those edges healthy! If you’re not sure about doing it yourself or wanna try some intricate designs, hit up the pros at Perfektion Hair Salon in Houston. Samia and the team there are cornrow wizards!

How Long Do Cornrows Last?

Cornrows can last from 2 to 8 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. Keep them looking fresh by wearing a silk scarf to bed or using a satin pillowcase to prevent frizz and breakage. Also, remember to keep your scalp moisturized with some light oil—coconut or jojoba oil works wonders.

How to Wash Cornrows

Yes, you can (and should!) wash your cornrows to keep your scalp healthy and fresh. Dilute your shampoo with water in a spray bottle, and gently spray it onto your scalp. Use the balls of your fingers to softly massage the shampoo into your scalp. Rinse it out by letting water run through your braids, and apply a leave-in conditioner to keep everything moisturized. Try not to manipulate your braids too much to avoid frizz

Conclusion

When you’re ready to get your next set of braids, or if you just wanna give your natural hair the royal treatment it deserves, swing by Perfektion Hair Salon. Samia specializes in natural hairstyles like braids and cornrows, and Janecia and Ashleigh are also amazing with those cornrow skills!

Stunning Braid Hairstyles For Black Girls

Did you know that braiding has been an important part of black hair culture, dating back to 3500 B.C. Over the years, different braiding styles have emerged, each unique and rich in culture. But where do you start from?

In this post, I will be taking you through a collection of 17 beautiful braided hairstyles for black girls that not only protect the hair but also make a bold statement.

Without further adieu, let’s get into it.

1. Cornrow Braids

Characterized by thin, flat braids that lie close to the scalp, cornrow braids works well for both short and long hair. They are versatile and gives a lot of room to play with pattern depending on the way your hair is parted. Cornrows can be the foundation for many other styles like lemonade braids, goddess braids, and crochet braids. With cornrows, there’s a style to suit every personality and occasion.

2. Crochet Braids

Crochet braids are a type of cornrows where instead of the hair being braided for its entire length, it is only braided at the root, and the rest is left loose, usually with added hair.

This style is a great way to add volume and length to the hair, and the loose hair can be styled in various ways.

3. Box Braids

The name ‘box braid’ comes from the box-like shape formed at the root of each braid. They are popular because they are low maintenance and can be styled in different ways. With box braids, you can experiment with length, thickness, and color to create a unique look.

Convinced already? Book a hair service with our professional stylists.

4, Triangle Box Braids

Triangle box braids are a stylish variation to the traditional box braids.

Instead of the standard square or box-shaped sections, the hair is parted in triangular sections before braiding.

This unique twist adds an edge to the classic box braids.

5. Senegalese Twists

Senegalese twists are a beautiful way to protect your hair while giving it a break from daily styling. They are created by attaching synthetic or human hair to the root of your natural hair, separating it into two strands, and wrapping it all the way down each hair shaft.

The result is sleek, smooth twists, so girl, if you need a hairstyle that screams simplicity and elegance–this is it.

6. Micro Braids

Micro braids, as the name suggests, are tiny, delicate braids that are created using small sections of hair. The final results look and feel like thick strands of hair, rather than the interlaced plaits of larger braids. Because of the size, micro braids take a long time to install but can last up to eight weeks with proper care.

7. Fulani Braids

Fulani braids are a tribal African braiding style that has gained mainstream popularity. They feature a distinct pattern with one middle braid running down the back of the head, with other braids flowing in the opposite direction across the crown of the head. Fulani braids are a beautiful blend of cornrows and box braids, offering a unique look that stands out.

8. Flat Twist Braids

Flat twist braids are an elegant way to style your hair for a formal event. The braids lie flat on the scalp and can be designed in a variety of widths and angles to create a unique pattern. They offer a different texture compared to a three-strand braid, adding a soft, elegant flare to the hairstyle.

9. Havana Twists

Havana twists are large, thick twists that are typically styled in long strands.

They are a perfect match for those who love big, voluminous hair. The twists can be left loose or styled into a bun, ponytail, or half-up hairstyle.

You don’t need to break the bank to get your hair done by an expert. Let us transform your look today.

10. Passion Twists

Passion twists are a combination of goddess locs and Senegalese twists. They are created by twisting two-strand twists with curly extensions, resulting in a unique texture. Passion twists can be styled in different lengths, thickness, and colors.

Things to Consider Before Choosing a Braided Hairstyle

Before selecting a braided hairstyle, consider

the length and texture of your hair
the duration you want to keep your braids.

For short braided styles, your hair should be at least two inches long, while for lengthier versions, it should be four to five inches long.

The texture of your hair also plays an important role, as very fine hair works better in smaller braids, while thick hair can handle thicker braids.

Braids typically last between four and six weeks with proper care. But this may vary depending on the style and how well you care for them.

Generally, the thicker the braid or twist, the quicker it will frizz, while small, tight braids and twists will last longer.

Conclusion

Braided hairstyles not only serve as protective styles but also offer an opportunity to express your individuality through your hair.

With the right care and maintenance, you can keep your braids looking fresh and vibrant for weeks, while your natural hair benefits from a break from daily styling.

Whatever braid hairstyle you choose, girl, consult a professional braider to achieve the best results and to ensure that your hair is braided in a way that protects and nurtures your natural hair.

Who says short hair can’t slay?

Natural hairstyles for black girls with short hair are not just stylish—they’re a whole vibe! Whether you’re rocking a small afro or strutting with a chic pixie cut, it’s all about embracing your unique self.

That said, in this guide, we’ll be looking at 17 stylish natural hairstyles that’ll have you feeling confident and empowered.

Without further adieu, let’s get started.

Tips for Styling Short Natural Hair

Before we jump into the meat of the post, here are some quick tips to keep your short natural hair looking fly:

Hydration is everything: Keep your hair moisturized with regular deep conditioning sessions and hydrating products.

Protective styles for the win: Switch it up with protective styles like twists, braids, and updos to keep your hair healthy and promote growth.

Love Your Scalp: Show your scalp some love by keeping it clean and moisturized to avoid dryness and flakes.

Embrace Your Texture: Your natural hair texture is beautiful—embrace it! Work with your curls and kinks to create stunning hairstyles.

Now, let’s look at the natural hairstyles for black queens rocking short hair:

1. TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro)

The TWA is a timeless classic that screams confidence. You can rock it with curls or a sleek tapered cut.

And the best part is, any shape of face can wear afro confidently with pride.

To style your TWA, start with clean, conditioned hair. Apply your favorite leave-in conditioner or styling cream to define those curls, then use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to shape your hair.

2. Finger Coils

Finger coils are all about enhancing your natural curl pattern and adding some serious texture to your short hair.

To get it right, simply apply a curl-defining product to damp hair and twirl small sections around your fingers to create coils.

3. Mohawk

The Mohawk hairstyle is a timeless classic that never goes out of style. There are two ways to style and rock this style.

If you don’t mind shaving a part of your hair, then this is for you. Shave the sides of your hair and style the center section up or to the side for a fierce and powerful look.

But if you’re like me and cannot stand the sight of a clipper, then the second method is for you.

Use gel to taper and make the sides of your hair flat and style the center for a stunning look.

Whichever method you choose, don’t forget it’s all about you.

4. Finger Waves

Finger waves are a great stylish and low maintenance natural hairstyle for short hair. It’s as simple as creating s-shaped waves along your scalp, pin, and let them dry for a glamorous retro vibe.

5. Flat Twists

Flat twists is another chic and elegant way to style your short natural hair.

To achieve the look, start by dividing your hair into sections and twist each section flat against your scalp. You can wear them as it is or unravel for a gorgeous twist-out.

6. Afro Puff

This is an upgrade to the teeny weeny afro.

To style, gather your hair into a high ponytail or puff and add some accessories for extra flair.

7. Defined Wash and Go

Show off those natural curls with a defined wash and go style.

Apply a curl-defining gel or cream to damp hair, scrunch, and let those curls shine!

8. Twist and Curl

Combine twists and curls for a playful and stylish look.

Twist your hair in sections, let them dry, and unravel for gorgeous curls.

9. Headwrap Styles

Headwraps are beautiful accessories for short natural hair.

Wrap a scarf or headwrap around your head, leaving your hairline exposed, and experiment with different styles.

10. Chunky Twist-Out

With this hairstyle, you can add volume and definition to your natural hair.

How to achieve it; twist your hair into large sections, let them dry overnight, and unravel for beautiful curls.

11. Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are a stylish and protective option for short natural hair.

Divide your hair into sections, twist each section tightly, and wrap it into a knot. Secure with pins or ties and let them set overnight for beautiful curls.

Conclusion

There you have it, queens! stylish natural hairstyles for black girls with short hair.

Embrace your beauty, rock your style, and slay every single day. You got this!

1. Balayage

One of the hottest hair trends is balayage!

So, if you’re craving that extra oomph and dimension to your blonde mane, reverse balayage may be your secret weapon for achieving that effortlessly chic look. Get slaying, darling!

3. Ombré

One of the most swoon-worthy hair trends is the ombre hair coloring!

This mesmerizing technique creates a dreamy gradient effect that’s all about that seamless transition from dark to light.

Ombre starts with a darker hue at the roots, and melts into a lighter shade towards the tips. It’s like a work of art on your mane, blending those shades together for a truly mesmerizing look.

The beauty of Ombre? It’s incredibly versatile and you can rock natural tones or go bold with vibrant hues. Whichever one you choose, just pick your favorite complementary colors, and let the transformation begin.

In simple terms, Sombré is all about that smooth fade between two closely-toned colors. Think of it as a subtle play of hues that adds depth and dimension to your hair, without the bold statement of traditional Ombre.

5. Highlights and Lowlights

Let’s shine a spotlight on highlights and lowlights.

First up is highlights.

They work their magic by brightening your locks, adding a touch of sunshine with strands that are a few shades lighter than your base color. It’s like sprinkling golden rays throughout your hair, creating a luminous and radiant look that’s bound to turn heads.

Now, onto lowlights!

Lowlights is simply about adding richness and depth to your hair by infusing darker strands that beautifully complement your original color. It’s like adding shadows and depth to your hair, creating a masterpiece of dimension and contrast.

So, whether you’re dialing up the brightness with highlights or adding sultry depth with lowlights, remember to choose tones that harmonize and enhance your natural beauty.

Are you ready to switch up your hairstyle?

6. Dip-Dye

You’re welcome to dip into the world of dip-dye hair coloring.

This edgy hair coloring technique is all about making a bold statement with a two-toned effect.

With dip-dye, the ends of your hair is dipped into a different color dye. It’s like adding a pop of personality to your locks, creating a striking contrast that screams confidence and style.

Unlike other hair coloring methods, there’s little to no gradient between the two colors with dip dye. It’s all about that sharp divide, making it perfect for those who want to make a statement without blending into the crowd.

7. Color Melting

In this technique, multiple hues are seamlessly blended together, creating a soft and enchanting transition between colors or shades.

Also, there’s no harsh lines or stark distinctions, just a smooth and graceful flow as one color effortlessly melts into the next.

It’s like painting a masterpiece on your hair, where every shade dances together in perfect harmony.

From mesmerizing blues and greens to dreamy lavender purples, pinkish corals, and fiery scarlet reds, the color possibilities are as endless as your imagination.

But before you take the plunge into the world of fantasy, it’s essential to consider the health of your hair and seek advice from a professional stylist. They’ll work their magic to ensure your hair is ready to rock those mesmerizing hues with confidence and style.

Why Do Salons Wash Your Hair After Coloring?

In the world of beauty and self-care, a trip to the salon can often feel like a rejuvenating experience. From haircuts to coloring, salons offer a range of services aimed at enhancing our natural beauty.

One common practice that many salon-goers encounter is the post-coloring hair wash. Have you ever wondered why salons wash your hair after coloring? What purpose does it serve beyond simply cleansing your hair?

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the science behind this salon ritual to uncover the reasons why it’s an essential step in the coloring process.

Understanding Hair Coloring

Before we look at the reasons why salons wash your hair after coloring, let’s briefly review how hair coloring works.

Hair dye typically contains chemicals that penetrate the hair shaft to alter its color. These chemicals, such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, work to lift the hair cuticle and deposit color molecules inside the cortex of the hair.

During the coloring process, the hair cuticle, which is the outermost layer of the hair shaft, opens up to allow the dye to penetrate the hair.

Once the dye is applied and the desired color is achieved, the cuticle needs to be closed again to seal in the color and protect the hair shaft.

Reasons Why Salons Wash Your Hair After Coloring

1. To maintain pH Balance

Ever heard of pH balance? It’s like the DJ of your hair party, it helps keep things in check and maintain harmony.

Your hair and scalp thrive in a slightly acidic environment, typically ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 on the pH scale.

The chemicals used in hair dye, particularly ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, are alkaline in nature. This alkalinity helps to open the hair cuticle during the coloring process, allowing the dye to penetrate the hair shaft effectively. However, this shift in pH can leave the hair and scalp feeling dry, brittle, and prone to damage.

Enter the heroic hair wash. So, post-coloring hair wash is all about restoring balance.

So, one of the primary reasons salons wash your hair after coloring is to restore the pH balance of your hair and scalp.

These magical potions work their charm, rebalancing the pH, and gently coaxing the hair cuticle to snuggle back into place.

2. To Remove Residue and Excess Dye

Have you ever noticed a hint of color that lingers after coloring? That’s where the wash comes in to save the day.

Another important reason for washing your hair after coloring is to remove any residue or excess dye that may be left on the hair and scalp.

Leaving this residue on the hair and scalp can lead to irritation, discomfort, and even allergic reactions in some people. Additionally, excess dye left on the hair can cause the color to appear uneven or patchy once it’s rinsed out.

By washing the hair after coloring, salons can ensure that all traces of dye are removed, and your scalp and strands squeaky clean from any potential irritants.

This step is particularly important for people with sensitive skin or allergies to certain hair dye ingredients.

3. To Enhance Color Life Span and Shine

Washing your hair after coloring isn’t just about removing residue and restoring pH balance—it’s also about enhancing the color’s life span and shine of your newly colored hair.

The products used by salons during the washing and conditioning process are specifically designed to nourish and protect color-treated hair.

These shampoos and conditioners often contain ingredients such as antioxidants, UV filters, and botanical extracts that help to lock in moisture, prevent color fading, and add shine to the hair.

By using these specialized products, salons can help you achieve long-lasting, salon-quality results that leave your hair looking and feeling its best.

4. To Prevent Color Bleeding

Some hair dyes, particularly vibrant or fashion colors, may bleed or transfer onto other strands if not properly rinsed.

Washing the hair helps to prevent this color bleeding by removing excess dye particles that haven’t fully penetrated the hair shaft.

This ensures that your color stays vibrant and doesn’t stain neighboring strands.

5. In Preparation for Styling:

Washing the hair after coloring not only cleanses the scalp and strands but also prepares the hair for styling.

Clean hair provides a better canvas for styling products to adhere to, ensuring that your desired hairstyle holds up well and looks its best.

6. For Even Color Distribution:

During the coloring process, especially with more complex techniques like highlights, dye may not be evenly distributed across all strands.

Washing the hair allows the colorist to assess the result and ensure that the color is uniform throughout.

Additionally, any areas that may have been missed or need additional color can be addressed during the wash.

7. To Promote Relaxation

Imagine sinking into the salon chair as warm water cascades over your scalp, melting away stress with each gentle massage. It’s a chance to unwind, recharge, and emerge feeling like a million bucks.

So beyond the practical benefits, washing your hair after coloring isn’t just a step; it’s a moment of pure pampering — a chance to relax, unwind, and indulge in a little self-care.

This also plays a huge role in your overall salon experience.

Conclusion

The practice of washing your hair after coloring is not just a standard salon procedure—it’s an important step in the coloring process that offers a range of benefits for your hair and scalp.

By restoring pH balance, removing residue, enhancing color vibrancy, and promoting relaxation, this procedure ensures that your hair looks and feels its best after a color treatment.

So the next time you visit the salon for a color touch-up or transformation, take a moment to appreciate the significance of the post-coloring hair wash.

FAQs

How long should you wait before washing your hair after a coloring treatment?

To maximize color retention, it is advised to wait 48 to 72 hours before shampooing post-coloring, a practice that allows the hair cuticles to seal properly. Moreover, using cold water can further secure the cuticle closure, aiding in the preservation of the color’s intensity, which is a crucial consideration for when to wash hair after coloring.

What is the reason behind the recommendation to avoid bathing after coloring your hair?

Bathing with hot water can prompt the hair’s cuticle to open, potentially causing color washout. The cuticle serves as a shield for the color; thus, hot water exposure can compromise its protective capacity, accelerating the loss of color.

Choose salons that prioritize natural, non-toxic products and techniques that promote hair health. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to nourishing treatments that bring out the best in your curls.

3. Client Reviews and Testimonials

The Silk Press Guide

Hey, beauties! It’s time to dive deep into the world of hair, where sleek, shiny tresses aren’t just a dream but a reality. Today, we’re unpacking everything you need to know about the silk press – that game-changing styling technique that has been turning heads and elevating hair games all over. And guess what? At Perfektion Salon, we’re serving up this luxury with a side of flawless. So, let’s get into it!

What is a Silk Press?

Imagine your natural hair transformed into a smooth, shiny cascade of silk – that’s the silk press for you. It’s a modern take on the traditional press and curl, where we use a flat iron to straighten your natural locks, achieving that oh-so-desirable sleek look without any chemicals. It’s pure magic for our natural queens looking for versatility without compromise.

DIY: How to Do a Silk Press at Home?

Feeling adventurous? Here’s a quick guide to achieving a silk press from the comfort of your home:

Start with a Clean Slate: Use a clarifying shampoo to remove any buildup, followed by a moisturizing shampoo.
Deep Condition: This step is non-negotiable. Hydrate and nourish your strands with a deep conditioning treatment.
Protect: Before you apply any heat, make sure to use a heat protectant to shield your hair from potential damage.
Blow Dry: Get your hair as straight as possible with a blow dryer – the smoother, the better.
Flat Iron: Work in small sections and use a high-quality flat iron to get that silky perfection. Keep the temperature in check to avoid heat damage.

Here’s a video that will help you visualize the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IgexoJklQs

Maintaining Your Silk Press

To keep your silk press looking salon-fresh, wrap your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf. Avoid water and humidity (we know, easier said than done!), and use a dry shampoo if needed to keep your roots fresh and voluminous.

How Often Should You Get One?

Listen to your hair, honey. Generally, a silk press can last up to two weeks, but to maintain the health of your hair, we recommend spacing out your appointments. Every 3-4 months is a good rule of thumb to prevent heat damage.

What Products Should You Use?

The key to a long-lasting silk press is in the products. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos, hydrating conditioners, lightweight oils, and, most importantly, a top-notch heat protectant.

Perfektion Salon’s Silk Press Packages

Now, for the main event. At Perfektion Salon, we’re not just doing silk presses; we’re elevating them. Check out our tailored packages:

Silk Press Blow-Out ($85.00): The classic transformation with a shampoo and straightening session.
Diamond Silk Press ($105.00): Choose between a steam treatment or ends trimmed, plus everything in the Silk Press Blow-Out.
