Hey hey gurls! For those who asked about the Velcro wrap here’s the link www.amazon.com/dp/B0716PSY9X/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_BKHYF0DAZA2YJ3KFP0VT?linkCode=ml2&tag=nikag1-20

Just came here to say this *actually* works! I do OrangeTheory and my hair held up. My only modification was doing four ponies (b/c I’m head sweaty) and pin curling the ponytails in place (away from my scalp-kinda looked like mouse ears) with the duck clips. I let it air dry for an hour, but still hit it with the blow dryer just to be safe. Turned out 🤌🏾

You are very welcomed!! So happy to hear it’s working for you! And Gurl! You don’t have to use the blow dryer? That is so bomb! Like I said in my vid I be sweatin sweatin so the blow dry step is a must for me (air dry for me would take too long) Thank you for watching guuurrlll!!✨✨

Can’t wait to try this. I sweat a lot as well. I’ve been avoiding working out anytime I get a silk press . Our hair shouldn’t get in the way of our health. Looking forward to trying this tysm

Thank you so much for this! I recently started working out and got a silk press for my birthday I thought I was going to have to avoid working out altogether but because of your tips I’ve been able to workout and still have my hair be as straight as possible! I’m going on week 3 and my hair is still straight even though I workout 3-4 times a week! Thank you so much!!

Hi!! How do you maintain the leave out if/when you exercise and how often do you have to apply heat to your leave out?

I'm gonna try this. My hair is chin and nape length, so I will section my hair into four parts instead of two. Any recommendations on a dry shampoo or hair elixir to that's Type 4 friendly that cuts down on sweat smell? 😊

I luv ur videos

What about dents and creases from the hair bands ?

Please keep posting

What can I use instead of a sweat band

Does it not get smelly if you keep the sweat soaked band on to dry?? I sweat a lot, I usually take the band off immediately after exercise, it’s dripping with sweat… blow out doesn’t last through one session :/
