SILKENER™
FAQ'S I
HAVE NO CURLS LEFT. I HAD A SILKENER™ AT A RETAIL SALON THAT SELLS MISS JESSIE'S
PRODUCTS. WHAT WENT WRONG?
SORRY
ABOUT YOUR BAD EXPERIENCE. MISS JESSIE'S SALON (BROOKLYN, NEW YORK) IS THE ONLY
AUTHORIZED SALON TO PERFORM THE SILKENER™. THE RETAIL LOCATIONS CARRY
THE MISS JESSIE'S PRODUCT LINE ONLY (CURLY PUDDING, MERINGUE, BUTTERCREME
AND BABY BUTTERCREME). THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY TRAINED OR LICENSED TO OFFER
THE SILKENER™ AS A SERVICE. WHAT
IS THE SILKENER™?
THE
SILKENER™ IS A TRADEMARKED CHEMICAL TECHNIQUE CREATED AND DEVELOPED AT CURVE
SALON INC. TO TWEAK EXISTING CURLS , KINKS OR WAVES, ADDRESS SHRINKAGE,TURN KINKS
TO CURLS, COMBAT FRIZZ, AND MAKE HAIR MORE MANAGEABLE. IT'S AN EXCELLENT SERVICE
FOR THE INDIVIDUAL INTERESTED IN WEARING BOTH STRAIGHT AND CURLY HAIR WITH OUT
PERMANENT STRAIGHT-STYLE COMMITMENT. WHAT
IS THE CHEMICAL USED IN SILKENERS™?
SODIUM
HYDROXIDE. HOW
IS THE SILKENERª DIFFERENT FROM A TEXTURIZER?
THE
END RESULT. THE SILKENER™ IS A CUSTOM SERVICE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE
SPECIAL NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S TEXTURE. CONVENTIONAL TEXTURIZER METHODS OFTEN
LEAVE CLIENTS WITH RANDOM RESULTS (SOMETIMES UNDER PROCESSED OR OVER-PROCESSED
FORCING YOU INTO A RELAXER STRAIGHT STATE. HOW
IS A SILKENER™ DIFFERENT FROM A RELAXER?
THE
OPTIONS. A RELAXER IS PROCESSED TO REMOVE ALL CURL AND TEXTURE FOR A STRAIGHT
RESULT ONLY . A SILKENER™ IS DESIGNED TO EMBRACE TEXTURE VIA TWEAKING OR
ALTERING CURL, KINK OR WAVE. THE SILKENER™ ALSO CREATES CURLY AND STRAIGHT
OPTIONS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL INTERESTED IN BOTH. IS
THE SILKENER™ SIMILAR TO A RELAXER OR TEXTURIZER?
LIKE
A RELAXER OR TEXTURIZER, THE SILKENER™ TOO IS CHEMICAL. SO THE PRECAUTIONS
ARE THE SAME TO PREVENT A SENSITIVE SCALP. CAN
I EXPECT A PERFECT SILKENER™?
YOU
CAN EXPECT OUR VERY BEST WORK. IT'S RARE FOR ANY TWO CURLS TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME
BUT WE CAN GET A 'GREAT' RESULT. SO FAR THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT SILKENER™
BECAUSE OF THE MANY VARIABLES INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS (YOUR NATURAL TEXTURE). DO I NEED
A SILKENER™ TO TURN MY KINKS TO CURLS?
MAYBE
NOT. HAVE YOU TRIED SHINGLING™ (NO-CHEM STYLING METHOD) WITH MISS JESSIE'S
CURLY PUDDING™ OR CURLY MERINGUE™ YET? AFTER
I GET MY 1ST SILKENER™, WHEN DO I COME IN AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICES?
FOR MOST, EVERY
3 MONTHS/4X PER YEAR. BUT MAINTENANCE CAN VARY PERSON TO PERSON DEPENDING ON HAIR
TEXTURE. CAN
I WET MY HAIR WITH A SILKENER™?
YES.
YOU CAN RE-WET WITHOUT YOUR CURLS RETURNING TO ITS ORIGINAL/NATURAL SHRUNK UP
STATE. HAIR IS NATURAL . I
HAVE A 'Z' FORMATION/PATTERN. MY WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A SILKENER™?
YOU CAN EXPECT THE
SILKENER™ TO STRETCH OUT AND ELONGATE YOUR EXISTING TEXTURE. YOU PROBABLY
WILL NOT GET A RINGLET CURL BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE A CIRCULAR PATTERN /FORMATION
TO START WITH. BUT THE SILKENING™ SERVICE MIGHT BE VERY USEFUL IF YOUR HAIR
IS EXTREMELY THICK AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF SHRINKAGE. 2 STRAND TWISTING WILL BE
A LOT EASIER. I
HAVE A RELAXER. WHAT WILL MY TRANSITION PROCESS BE LIKE IF I WANT A SILKENER™?
GROW AT LEAST
4-6 INCHES OF NEW GROWTH IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE LENGTH AND CURL FORMATION. BRAIDS
ARE A GREAT OPTION TO KEEP YOUR MIND OFF THE GROWING OUT PHASE. IF YOU'RE NOT
CONCERNED WITH LENGTH, A CLOSELY CROPPED BARBER CUT WILL IMMEDIATELY TAKE YOU
OUT OF A RELAXER STATE. HOW
MUCH NEW-GROWTH DO I NEED FOR A SILKENER™?
GROW
AT LEAST 4-6 INCHES OF NEWGROWTH FOR YOUR 1ST SILKENER™ IF YOU WANT TO SEE
THE LENGTH AND CURL FORMATION. IF YOU HAVE LESS YOU MIGHT NOT SEE ANY CURL BECAUSE
IT IS TOO SHORT. HOW
WILL YOU DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF CURL I WILL OR WILL NOT GET?
VIA
CONSULTATION. STYLE
WISE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NATURAL VS. SILKENER™?
NATURAL
HAIR CAN BE MUCH MORE MANUAL THAN SILKENER™ TREATED HAIR. YOU CAN GET SILKENED™
HAIR WET WITHOUT RETURNING TO A NATURALLY SHRUNK-UP STATE. WHY
MIGHT SOMEONE MAKE A DECISION TO GET A SILKENER™ IF THEY CAN GET A GREAT
RESULT WITH SHINGLING™?
ONE
MIGHT CONVERT TO A SILKENER™ FOR EASE AND MANAGEABILITY BECAUSE OF THE MANUAL
TIME SPENT (COMBING, SHAMPOOING, APPLYING PRODUCT, DRYER TIME) TO ACHIEVE THE
LOOK DESIRED AND THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF NATURAL HAIR. (MUGGY/MOIST/WET ENVIRONMENT
= SHRUNK BACK HAIR). IF
THE SILKENER™ IS SO GREAT, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF STAYING NATURAL?
NO COMMITMENT. BEING
NATURAL FOR SOME IS GLORIOUS AND LIBERATING AMONGST OTHER REASONS. CHEMICAL SERVICES
ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE.
