Her is very pretty.
I had to laugh when I read: Client will not shape/cut her ends. She's probably been the victim of a 3" "trim" before...

How do they get it so shiny and wet looking?

Megonw, it's easier for straighter hair to reflect light better than curly hair and since a silkener is a texturizer by another name (am I right, ladies?), the tight curls of her natural hair are straightened a bit so it shines more. I think they also give the hair a good conditioning treatment and probably apply a leave-in that adds sheen. The same shine can be seen on healthy pressed or relaxed hair with a good leave-in. If you've got shades, don them and then check out the shine on Supergirl's hair.
I thought it was also interesting to read she didn't want her ends trimmed. Gotta be an LHCF visitor who's been paying attention to warnings about SHS's.

Interesting...how would you handle all that hair? (I might go natural one day and I need some tips. That's about how my hair would look if it was that long and natural.

Well, I was thinking of getting my 9 year old daughter's hair Silkened as it would maintain the curl pattern and help with the excess shrinkage on wash day. She's a 4a. Well, I called the salon and the price starts at $150
Whoa! The silkener is a mild lye relaxer applied for 5-9 minutes!!! $150!!!! I don't even spend that much on my own head... and I have an Affirm relaxer!!! Yikes!

Wow!! I am on the next plane to New York. Their hair looks awesome. The curls are soo loose and pretty. It reminds me of my hair when I was drinking the wretched protein shakes. I wonder if I could get someone to do this for me in the South. I'm going to cry. Why is it that all of the cool hair things come out of New York, Atlanta, or Los Angeles? I'm just going to have leave South Carolina.
i think that they use a product called bbd glass for all the shine and it helps with definition. there have been alot of threads about curve and glass. also i think someone who had been there before said that they used affirm for their silkners. i wonder what her hair looked liked curly before the silkner? ( i think her before pic was blown out)i personally would have left alittle more curl in it but it still looks nice although i like the before pic better.

Wow! Most of those ladies looked fantabulous!
What is Silkener and can it be applied over relaxed hair? How do you finger style hair?

A silkener is just a texturizer so no, you can't apply over relaxed hair.
That would just overprocess.
I assume by finger styling they mean using fingers to define and seperate curls. That's just my guess
