A Splash of Color Sets This Middle Part Silk Press Hairstyle Apart

Reanee decided to give her model a splash of color in the front in order to highlight the movement of the hair as well as create some attractive conversation pieces. Applying color to natural hair can be tricky though. You have to remove your natural hair color first which will take molecules and amino acids out of the hair. Reanee puts her color clients on a maintenance regimen that includes hydrating steam treatments and amino acid strengthening treatments every two weeks.  These services will infuse moisture and protein into the hair to keep your tresses healthy throughout the hair color and silk press process.

Reanee created a custom hair color for her model using different hues of blue, red, and magenta to create the shades of pink and purple you see in the front. The peek-a-boo color is bold enough to grab your attention but not too strong for any corporate or formal function.

A Silk Press Looks Good But Comes With It’s Own Challenges

Silk presses require heat and heat can be detrimental to your hair. The operative word here is “can”. Under the watchful eye of a seasoned professional like Reanee McManus from Stella’s Daughter Salon & Wellness Center, you will receive all of the benefits a silk press can give your hair without any of the downside. Reanee chose to go “low and slow” with the heat as she applied the silk press technique. Low to medium heat helps to ensure that the model doesn’t lose her natural curl pattern in the process.

Those hydrating and amino acid treatments come in handy during the silk press technique also. Natural hair tends to require more moisture than relaxed hair and the added color does as well. Receiveng those treatments every two weeks creates an environment in your hair that makes styles like this middle part silk press hairstyle possible.
