A silk press is more than a blowout – it’s a transformation. Using precise heat control and expert technique, we take natural and textured hair from curly to sleek and silky smooth, with movement, bounce, and shine that lasts. No chemicals, no damage, just beautiful, flowing hair.
At Boncomb Beauty in Arlington, our stylists understand textured hair intimately. We know the fine line between achieving that perfect silk press service and causing heat damage – and we never cross it. You’ll leave with hair that swings, shines, and turns heads, while staying healthy underneath.

Silk Press Questions
How much does a silk press cost at Boncomb?
Our silk press is $125, which includes clarifying shampoo, deep conditioning treatment, tension blow-dry, precision flat iron work, finishing serums, and maintenance guidance. This is our transparent, all-inclusive price – no surprises at checkout.
Will a silk press damage my natural hair?
Not when done correctly. The key is proper heat protection, the right temperature for your hair type, and technique. We use professional-grade tools with precise temperature control – never the one-size-fits-all high heat that causes damage. Your hair’s health is our priority, and we’ll never sacrifice it for a style.
How long will my silk press last?
With proper care, a silk press typically lasts 1-2 weeks. Humidity is the biggest enemy – we’ll teach you how to wrap your hair at night and protect it from moisture. Some clients in Arlington find that scheduling their silk press strategically (before a trip or event) helps them get the most out of it.
Can I work out with a silk press?
You can, but sweat is moisture – and moisture will cause reversion. If you have an active lifestyle, consider scheduling your silk press after your workout week or before a lower-activity period. We’ll also give you tips for protecting your edges and nape during light exercise.
How is a silk press different from a regular flat iron?
A true silk press involves the full process: clarifying shampoo, deep conditioning, tension blow-dry, and then precision flat iron work in small sections. It’s not just running a flat iron through your hair – it’s a technique that creates movement, body, and that signature “swang” while keeping hair healthy. The result is silkier, bouncier, and longer-lasting than at-home straightening.
What temperature do you use?
It depends entirely on your hair. Fine or color-treated hair requires lower temperatures; thick, coarse, or resistant hair needs more heat to achieve smoothness. Our stylists at Boncomb Beauty assess your hair and adjust accordingly – we never use a default high setting. This personalized approach is why our silk presses come out silky without damage.
Should I come with clean or dirty hair?
Come as you are – we’ll shampoo your hair as part of the service. In fact, we prefer to start with our clarifying shampoo to remove any product buildup, oils, or residue. This ensures the smoothest possible result and helps your silk press last longer.
What Our Clients Say
“I’ve had silk presses that left my hair flat and lifeless, and others that reverted within days. At Boncomb, my hair has body, movement, and that bounce I see on Instagram – but in real life. And it actually lasts, even with our Texas humidity. I won’t trust anyone else with my natural hair.” – Danielle W., Tierra Verde Estates
