At SilkHoney&Scissors, we believe that beautiful hair starts in the salon, but it thrives through your at-home care. To maintain your results and keep your hair healthy, silky, and full of life, please follow these aftercare guidelines tailored to your service.
Signature Silk Press
- Avoid any moisture or steam for 48 hours after your service to maintain your silk finish.
- Wrap your hair nightly using a satin or silk scarf, or sleep on a silk pillowcase to prevent frizz and breakage.
- Use only lightweight serums or moisturiser recommended during your appointment; avoid heavy greases or butters.
- It‘s highly recommended not to go over a silk press at home as you run the risk of heat damage. If you must restyle, always use a heat protectant and minimal heat.
- Book your maintenance appointment every 4–6 weeks to keep your hair healthy and your results consistent.
Texture Release Aftercare
Healthy, silky, and free-flowing, just how your hair should be.
Your Texture Release service has been carefully carried out to give your hair movement, manageability, and long-lasting smoothness without compromising its health. To protect your results and maintain the integrity of your hair, please follow the guidance below.
First 48–72 Hours
- Avoid water, steam, or sweat; do not wash, wet, or tie your hair during this time.
- Keep your hair wrapped or straight and avoid tucking it behind your ears to prevent dents or kinks.
- Do not apply any additional products or oils until the initial setting period has passed.
Ongoing Care
- Use only sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain smoothness and prevent dryness.
- Always use a heat protectant before blow-drying or straightening your hair.
- Avoid excessive heat; one light pass with straighteners is enough to refresh your style.
- Deep condition your hair every 2–3 weeks to restore moisture and strengthen your strands.
- Keep your scalp clean and moisturised; light, nourishing oils are best.
Night Routine
- Wrap your hair nightly with a silk or satin scarf, or sleep on a silk pillowcase.
- For longer hair, use a loose low ponytail or wrap to preserve smoothness and minimise friction.
Maintenance
- The Texture Release is temporary and typically lasts 12 weeks, depending on your routine and lifestyle.
- Book your top up appointment every 3 - 4 months to maintain manageability and shine.
- If you wish to transition back to your natural texture, allow the treatment to wear off naturally and avoid overlapping with chemical straighteners or relaxers.
Product Recommendations
To extend the life of your Texture Release, ask during your visit about SilkHoney&Scissors approved home care, including:
- Sulphate-free shampoo & conditioner
- Lightweight heat protectant

Relaxer Aftercare
For sleek, smooth results that stay healthy and strong.

- Keep your hair moisturised with light moisturisers.
Ongoing Care
- Wash every 1–2 weeks using good quality shampoo and a moisturising conditioner.
- Deep condition weekly to maintain strength and elasticity.
- Limit heat use and always apply a thermal protectant when styling
Maintenance

General Tips for All Services
- Always use professional, salon-recommended products to support your treatment.
- Avoid heavy oils, greases, or butters that can block moisture and weigh down your style.
- Keep your hair wrapped or protected at night.
- Book your next visit in advance to maintain consistency and care.
- Monthly in salon maintenance treatments are recommended between your services to nourish, strengthen, and protect your hair’s integrity.
- Regular trims every 8–12 weeks are essential for length retention and overall hair health; this is why a trim is included in every service we provide at SilkHoney&Scissors.
