Briefly News had a chat with the king of hair, Lazaros Sumbane who explained what a silk press is and the process of getting one:

“A silk press is a hair straightening treatment that uses heat and tension to smooth and flatten curly or kinky hair. First, you wash and treat the hair making sure the hair is clean the proper moisture is deposited into your hair, and the cuticles are sealed properly; followed by applying a heat protector.

"You can now start with the process of making your hair straight using your hairdryer and straightener, and this type of hair you need to avoid using an oil moisturized or anything that has too much of Aqua to avoid shrinking, use silk essential oils to moisturize and give a silky and shine.
“Some manufacturers like to design essential products that protect hair from being damaged from a silk press and to make sure that your hair becomes silky, shiny, and straight without using any strong chemicals.”
