Why We Use the Amika Pro Smooth Over Smoothing Treatment for Silk Presses at The Press Room Salon

When it comes to achieving a long-lasting, frizz-free silk press—product selection is everything. At The Press Room Salon, our goal is to not only deliver a flawless finish, but also protect and strengthen your natural hair along the way.

One of our favorite in-salon treatments for summer silk press services is the Amika Pro Smooth Over Smoothing Treatment. It’s a professional-grade, non-toxic formula that helps reduce frizz, improve manageability, and extend the life of your silk press—especially in Atlanta’s humid summer heat.

Here’s why this treatment is a staple in our healthy hair care system and how it benefits your press all season long.

What Is the Amika Pro Smooth Over Smoothing Treatment?

The Smooth Over Smoothing Treatment is a formaldehyde-free, salon-exclusive service that:

  • Strengthens and smooths the hair

  • Reduces frizz and flyaways

  • Helps preserve moisture and improve elasticity

  • Provides humidity resistance for up to 6–8 weeks

It’s not a keratin or chemical relaxer—it’s a semi-permanent smoothing treatment that works without altering your natural curl pattern. Ideal for clients who want to maintain texture flexibility and enjoy a longer-lasting press.

How We Use It at The Press Room Salon

We incorporate the Amika Pro Smooth Over Treatment as a standalone service or as an add-on to your silk press or trim appointment. Here's how it fits into our process:

  1. Clarifying Cleanse: We start with a deep cleanse to remove buildup and prep the hair shaft for treatment.

  2. Application: The treatment is applied section-by-section, focusing on mid-shafts and ends where frizz and porosity tend to show most.

  3. Thermal Activation: Once the treatment is processed, we blow-dry and flat iron the hair to lock in the smoothness and seal the cuticle.

  4. Finished with a Press: Your silk press is styled with professional techniques to add movement, shine, and shape—without weighing the hair down.
