Many in the UK confuse the Dominican Blowout with a silk press — but they are not the same. A Dominican Blowout is a traditional hair-stretching technique, originally developed in the Dominican Republic, known for using minimal heat and a focus on hair health, not just appearance.

Unlike silk presses that often involve high heat straighteners, the Dominican method starts with the right wash, deep conditioning, in direct defused heat and low-heat blow-drying to achieve movement, softness, and bounce — without compromising the integrity of your hair.

​

What Makes This Technique Healthier?

Dominican blowouts focus on:

• Hair analysis at the bowl: Each treatment starts with identifying if the hair needs moisture, protein, repair, or new technology treatments like bond-building.

• Deep conditioning focus: Rollersetting or hood drying ensures that treatments actually penetrate — no rushing.

• Low manipulation: Once dried, the hair is stretched in a way that can last weeks with the right wrap technique, meaning less daily stress on the strands.

This technique is ideal for:

• Curly, coily, or kinky textures, as well as wavy and straight hair.

• Clients transitioning from relaxed to natural

• Anyone wanting a heat-safe blowout without flattening or damaging their curl/wave pattern.

Why I Use the Dominican Method

I learned the technique from watching experienced Jamaican stylists and refining it on my own hair, then practicing on family and friends. My approach is rooted in protecting your natural texture while giving you a versatile style that moves. I pair it with years of product knowledge and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all blow dry — it's a restorative treatment experience.

Caring for curly hair is not just about styling — it’s about respecting the texture and understanding its needs.

At Nya Impressions, I take curly, coily, and wavy hair seriously. No guesswork. No lazy product layering. Every curl has its own pattern, porosity, and moisture needs — and I treat it that way.

​

 My Curl Care Approach Includes:

• Proper Detangling Techniques – No rushing, no ripping through curls. I use sectioning and moisture-based products for minimal breakage.

• Tailored Treatments – Whether your curls need hydration, protein, bond-building or repair, I assess this at the bowl.

• Defined Results Without Crunch – I use only selected professional products for definition, softness, and movement — not stiffness or stickiness.

• Curl-By-Curl Cutting – For those who want shape, volume, or to grow their curls out, I offer curly cuts tailored to how your hair naturally falls.

 Influenced by the Greats

I’ve studied and adapted techniques from legends like:

• Lorraine Massey (Curly Girl Method)

• Teri LaFlesh (Tightly Curly)

• Robin’s Crown & Glory Method

• Plus insights from Long Hair Care Forum and Curlista — all of which influence my healthy hair philosophy today.

 Curly Hair Aftercare Kits

Each client leaves with a personalised aftercare plan — and the option to purchase a ready-made curly hair care kit for moisture, maintenance, and protection.

At Nya Impressions, our Brazilian keratin treatments are all about strengthening your hair — not stripping it. We use the premium KeraOrganics range, known for being gentle, effective, and packed with nourishing ingredients.

Unlike cheap keratin knockoffs or harsh formulas, KeraOrganics is designed to smooth, condition, and protect your hair while keeping its natural movement. It reduces frizz, improves manageability, and cuts styling time dramatically — without destroying your texture or causing long-term damage.

What Makes Our Keratin Treatments Different:

•  Formaldehyde-free formulas

•  Organic ingredients that restore — not mask — hair health

•  Safe for straight, curls, coils, waves, and chemically treated hair

• Lasts 16 weeks with proper care

Ideal For:

• Transitioning hair (natural to relaxed or vice versa)

• Damaged or colour-treated strands

• Curly/coily clients who want longer-lasting stretch and shine without the silk press heat.

• Straight Naturals- who still want to wear their hair curly/wavy/coily.

• We offer aftercare products for your at home hair needs.

At Nya Impressions, hair extensions aren't just about length — they’re about transformation, confidence, and care. My methods are rooted in history, perfected through training, and tailored for each unique client.

 A Tradition That Goes Back to Kemet

​​​

Hair extensions are far from a trend. They date back thousands of years — all the way to Ancient Egypt (Kemet), where women and men wore braided foundations and sewn-in hairpieces for beauty, royalty, and protection. This ancient tradition has evolved over time, but the heart remains the same: hair as empowerment.

Today, I combine that same cultural foundation with modern, professional techniques that work for Afro, European, Middle Eastern, mixed-texture, and fine hair types.
