 Hey guys, my name is Matt Beck and I'm so excited to bring to you super silk. What I'm going to do is I'm going to break down the technique step by step so you guys know exactly what to do to perform the full treatment. So what we started off doing to our model Christina here is we shampooed her hair twice with the super silk detoxify shampoo. What that's going to do is help get out all the impurities, everything out of her hair that we don't want in there before we start the treatment. Then we applied the super silk rinse out conditioner from scalp to ends and we rinse that out. We towel dry the hair really well and we move into our sectioning. Now the sectioning is very standard so we're working with the four quadrants. So if you go to the high point of the head, the apex of the head and you draw a line directly down vertical to the ear, that's your first panel, and then you draw a line on the opposite side, same way vertical down to just in front of the ear. Now what we're doing is we're drawing a vertical line from the apex down to mid-nape of the neck there, so straight vertical directly down center back of the head. So we're going to start off the super silk treatment by taking a horizontal section about a quarter of an inch up in the nape of the neck. So we're going to clip the top away, I'm going to grab the hair in my hands, really just run it through in my hands and then start spraying the super silk professional solution to the hair. You'll see I have a comb in my other hand. That's for combing through once we're done. So I'll start off about an eighth of an inch away from the hair and work to fully saturate the hair with the solution. So once I got that combed out, I'm going to take another quarter of an inch section. So really slow and steady wins the race on this technique. You don't want to go too fast. You want to be consistent and really, really saturate the hair with the solution. That's the big difference between the full treatment, which is going to last 12 weeks that we're doing now, and the express treatment that'll last about 10 days, maybe two weeks as you move forward. So you definitely want to saturate the hair and work this technique fully through. I think the beauty of the super silk treatment for me in the salon is that it works on every single guest that you have. There's not one guest that sits in your chair that couldn't get a treatment like this. The full treatment or the express treatment, all this is doing is taking silk amino acids and infusing them in the hair shaft. So all those gaps in the roughness that you feel on your guest's cuticle, it goes completely away because the silk proteins are filling those holes in. So it's definitely something that it's easy to recommend and it's a great upgrade for any of your clients. So if they want to do the full treatment, this is usually going to be around $150 to $200 treatment. Some salons are even asking $300. So it's really, it's endless the possibilities of this treatment. But the biggest thing about it is that it works and that's what I love. It's formaldehyde free so you don't have to worry about that. There's no derivative, nothing. You notice I'm not wearing gloves, I'm not wearing a mask, I'm not doing anything like that. This is pure silk amino acids being put right into the hair shaft. So as I comb through the solution, you can really see it's pretty easy to comb through and I just want to work and make sure that I fully saturate from scalp to ends with the product. Combing it through, keeping it nice and clean, you know, presentation is a lot in the salon so we want to make sure, this is a good price tag for a service and you want to make sure that your guest is comfortable. Don't be combing all of their hair in their face, it's wet. You don't want that. As you comb it, just kind of keep it off their shoulder and just keep it organized and nice and that's going to help you have a better result as well. You notice as I'm spraying that I'm not spraying it right down at her face. So still working about an eighth of an inch away but as I spray it, I'm spraying it back towards the back of her head just to make sure that I keep, you know, my guest comfortable. So combing it back off of her face but still nice and clean and through. So we're working again right the temple area of the head, quarter of an inch sections as we work up and just we're finishing the entire head that way and we started it off that way and now we're going to finish it. Pinching it in my hands, eighth of an inch away, really fully saturated with the Super Silk Professional Solution and that's pretty much it. Just combing it through. So as we finish up the last couple sections, I want to go through the process that you won't see in this video and that is we're going to brush her hair back. We're going to wrap it up into a processing cap and allow the hair to process for 30 minutes. That's all it takes to get those silk amino acids to embed themselves into the hair shaft. So now once we get that brush through, we're going to move on to the next step which is to take the Super Silk Pure Indulgence Leave In treatment and apply that from scalp to ends. Now besides this being a great leave in treatment that your guests could take home with them, the greatest part about the leave in treatment is that it gives the hair a slip. When you add those silk amino acids to the hair, as they process in the hair and the hair dries, it starts to get a little bit of a rough texture to it and that's really just because of the amount of protein buildup on the hair. So using my wide tooth comb, I start to comb the leave in treatment into the hair and then we're just going to start to blow dry. Now the blow dry is actually one of the easiest parts because you don't use a brush or anything. You just use the nozzle of the blow dryer, run it along the hair shaft. I like to start by taking small sections in the nape just like we did with the solution part and work the blow dryer down and then as I work up to the mid part of the head, I can just kind of lift the hair to add a little bit of air to it but keep that nozzle aimed down onto the cuticle of the hair because we're really starting the sealing process of the Suprasilk professional solution. So now we're going to move into the iron work and I've set my iron at 410 degrees. We're using the Vibra straight iron from Bercato and I start in the nape of the neck and I'm going to run about six or seven passes with the iron over the hair shaft. Now there's different settings for the irons with this treatment. So you don't want to go too hot with the iron with the different types of hair texture. So I want to break that down for you guys now. So if we're looking at fine, fragile hair, don't go over 370 degrees with the iron and don't do more than five passes. You know, you want to be safe with iron work and that really has nothing to do with the solution that's on the hair. That has everything to do with the texture. So these are settings that you guys should be following whether you're doing this treatment or not. You look at medium texture, wavy to frizzy hair. Do 370 degrees Fahrenheit with seven passes on the hair. And then for resistant, curly or very frizzy hair, use 410 degrees Fahrenheit with seven to 10 passes. I chose to go with 410 degrees because we're working with a medium density but a little bit coarser texture with Christina's hair. So I wanted to use the 410 degrees but I'm only going the seven, six to seven passes with the iron. Just be really careful with your guest's hair. You don't want to overheat it. And I think that that's another great benefit of what a super silk treatment is as opposed to keratin treatments or straightening treatments, things like that. They're asking you to use 450 degree iron on their hair over and over and over. And it's just not healthy for the hair. So definitely a perk of this treatment. So I'm just working the iron, again, really small sections. And you can see how smooth it's looking and the shine that's starting to build up on it. Now the difference between the full treatment and the express treatment is we're going to iron this through. And then we're going to shampoo her one more time, which we'll go over in a second. And then we'll blow her out again. So that's why it takes a good hour and a half to do this treatment, which isn't much time at all. And that's why we charge for it because our time is important and it's valuable. So we definitely have to charge for it. So you look at salons that are charging 150, 200, $300 for this treatment based on your area. It's such a good treatment and a good add-on service. So you can see really working those silk amino acids into the hair using the iron. This is really what's sealing it all down. So it's definitely a key portion of this super silk treatment. In the final step, we're going to finish up this iron work. Then we're going to take Christina back. We're going to shampoo her to thoroughly rinse out the super silk residue. And then we're going to add the leave-in treatment blow dryer one more time. And then here you go. You can see the end result. Here's the before. Here's the after. Beautiful, shiny, silky hair for Christina. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for watching.
