Home Care Tips for Silk Press, Amino Acid & Keratin Treatments

Whether you’ve had a silk press, amino acid, or keratin treatment at Hello Texture, proper at-home care is key to maintaining your hair’s health, shine, and longevity. Here are our top tips.

General Home Care Tips for All Treatments

• Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to protect the treatment.

• Wash hair with lukewarm or cool water, avoiding hot water that strips moisture.

• Avoid frequent washing; 1–2 times per week is ideal.

• Always use a heat protectant when using hot tools.

• Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase or use a silk/satin bonnet to reduce friction.

• Minimize excessive heat styling to prevent damage.

 Specific Care for Silk Press

• Wrap hair nightly to maintain sleekness.

• Avoid humidity and rain when possible — moisture causes curls to revert.

• Refresh with light oils or serums to add shine without buildup.

 Specific Care for Amino Acid Treatments

• Keep hair moisturized with leave-in conditioners or light oils.

• Avoid clarifying shampoos or heavy product buildup that can strip treatment effects.

• Schedule regular trims to maintain hair health.

• Protect hair at night with satin scarves or bonnets.

Specific Care for Keratin Treatments

• Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners only.

• Avoid heavy styling products that weigh hair down.

• Minimize heat styling beyond the initial treatment.

• Wait at least 72 hours post-treatment before washing or tying hair to maximize results.
