✨ Hair Tip ✨
Always let your curls cool completely before letting them down. When hair is curled with heat, the shape isn’t fully set while it’s still warm. Allowing the curls to cool helps the hair lock in the shape, giving you longer-lasting curls, more bounce, and better hold.
If you drop the curls too soon, they can fall flat much faster. A little patience goes a long way for that full, long-lasting finish

The smiles on their little faces mean everything to me 🥹🤍
A silk press for little ones isn’t just about straight hair ..it’s about:
• Monitoring overall hair health
• Keeping up with trims
• Checking for breakage or dryness
• Maintaining length properly
I always recommend 1–2 silk presses a year for kids to properly assess their natural hair and keep it healthy ✨
March appointments are almost full.
April bookings are officially open.
Secure your little one’s spot in advance 🤍
