I just want a simple silk press, with some fringe and no much trims , cause I want to keep the length.
Le silk press lisse temporairement les cheveux crépus ou frisés au fer, tout en conservant douceur, brillance et mouvement naturel. Un look lisse sans modification chimique.

Silk Press: all you need to know
"Le silk press est une technique de lissage thermique haut de gamme, conçue pour lisser les cheveux texturés sans défrisage et sans altérer définitivement la structure du cheveu. L’objectif : un rendu ultra lisse, souple et brillant — presque « soyeux » — tout en préservant la santé de la fibre.
La réussite d’un silk press repose sur 3 piliers :
Préparation du cheveu (shampoing clarifiant + soin hydratant/protéiné)
Protection thermique stratégique section par section
Technique de lissage précise avec matériel adapté
Le cheveu doit être parfaitement hydraté, nettoyé en profondeur et protégé avant la chaleur. Une coiffeuse experte sait :
✔ régler la température selon la texture et l’historique du cheveu
✔ lisser sans brûler les cuticules
✔ préserver la densité et l’élasticité
Ce look convient idéalement aux événements ou aux périodes où l’on souhaite varier les styles tout en reversant à la texture naturelle après shampoing.
Cependant, un excès de silk press ou un mauvais dosage thermique peut provoquer :
– sécheresse profonde
– perte de définition bouclée
– casse due à la surchauffe
Un suivi professionnel permet d’éviter les dégâts à long terme.
Avec Zenaba.fr, vous pouvez réserver une coiffeuse afro spécialisée en silk press qui respectera la santé de vos cheveux et adaptera la chaleur au minimum nécessaire.
Résultat : un lisse somptueux, aérien, qui bouge — et vos boucles retrouvent leur forme ensuite."

Frequently asked questions
How does Zenaba work?
Zenaba connects you with afro hairdressers near you. You fill out a short, no-obligation form describing your needs; it is sent to available hairdressers in your area. Those who master your desired hairstyle will respond with a proposal (price, duration, past work, reviews). You confirm the one you like online, then you rate the hairdresser after the session.
Is Zenaba reliable?
Yes: Zenaba has been around since 2006, bringing together hundreds of verified hairdressers and thousands of delighted clients, with a rating of 4.7/5 on Google.
Is Zenaba available everywhere?
Yes, nationwide, including overseas territories. Even in rural areas, mobile hairdressers often agree to travel.
What questions should I ask a hairdresser before booking?
Check that their specialties match your needs, ask about the hairstyle's longevity and recommended maintenance, then agree on the price, duration, and slot. The price, reviews, and past work are included in each proposal.
How do I book an appointment?
Send your request via the form and receive proposals. When one suits you, choose the date from the hairdresser's schedule and confirm, paying the deposit if they require one.
What if my request is urgent (same day or next day)?
Hairdressers also respond in the evening and on weekends. Choose the “Urgent” timeframe, specify your availability, and add a recent photo of your hair: they will assess faster and respond quickly.
How do I know if the hairdresser is skilled with my hair type?
Each hairdresser is verified before being visible, and your request is prioritized to the best-rated hairdressers near you for your hairstyle. Consult their profile, before/after photos, and reviews before booking.
Do the hairdressers travel to me?
Most come to your home with their equipment; some style hair at their place. Specify in your request if you can travel to receive suitable proposals.
Is Zenaba free for clients?
Yes, sending a request is free. You only pay to book a proposal (often a small deposit, by secure card), then the rest directly to the hairdresser on the day. Hairdressers, on the other hand, buy credits to respond: be precise and avoid multiplying requests.
Why should I fill out my request carefully?
Hair type, length, desired style, indicative budget, availability, and photos: a complete request gets faster and more accurate responses, and shows hairdressers that it's serious.
Do I need to buy the hair extensions?
Indicate your preferences: the hairdresser always specifies if the extensions are included in their price, and if not, which ones to buy.
Do I need to wash my hair before the appointment?
The hairdresser will tell you based on your hair type and the planned hairstyle.
Who sets the prices?
Each hairdresser freely sets their prices according to their experience, the complexity of the hairstyle, the equipment, and the working time. Zenaba values expertise that deserves to be compensated.
How do I secure the price and date?
Go through the appointment proposal: service, exact price, duration, location, date, and time are all written there. Online payment blocks the slot and avoids any misunderstanding.
Can I change or cancel my appointment?
Contact the hairdresser via messaging to arrange a new slot. Cancellation conditions are in the proposal; if the hairdresser cancels, your deposit is refunded.
Is there any follow-up?
With your Zenaba space, track which hairdressers have read your request and which have responded, chat with them, and earn points with each booking, to use in the shop.
Is my data protected?
Your exchanges with hairdressers remain in a private space. Your data can be deleted with one click from your account or upon simple request, and photos from your request are automatically erased after a delay.
What if I don't receive any responses?
This happens if the request is incomplete or if nearby hairdressers are already booked. You will then be notified to complete it, add photos, or slightly expand the area.
