- February 24, 2025
For decades, silk pressing textured hair was a mix of art and survival. From the sizzling hot combs of the past to the endless battle against humidity, Black women have long sought the perfect balance between sleekness and hair health. But in 2024, we’re experiencing a silk press renaissance—one powered by modern technology and designed specifically for textured hair.
At the forefront of this evolution? The TAUPE TOOLS Silk Press Straightener, a game-changing innovation by Fola Fash that’s rewriting the rules of sleek styling.
From Hot Combs to High-Tech: The Evolution of the Silk Press
Once upon a time, getting a silk press meant sitting in a salon chair while your stylist heated a metal comb over an open flame, hoping for the best. The results were smooth but came at a cost—scalp burns, smoke-filled rooms, and the constant risk of heat damage.
Fast forward to today, and the silk press is no longer a one-time luxury but an everyday option—thanks to technology that prioritizes hair health. Titanium-plated straighteners like the TAUPE TOOLS Silk Press Straightener have revolutionized the process, making it easier, faster, and safer than ever before.

Fola Fash, a seasoned hairstylist and founder of TAUPE TOOLS, created this straightener out of necessity. She saw firsthand how Black women struggled to recreate professional silk presses at home, often resorting to tools that either didn’t get the job done or caused unnecessary damage. So, she engineered a solution.
