Blocking bamboo knits?

I'm working on a herringbone scarf using Patons Silk Bamboo (70% bamboo, 30% silk). It's starting to curl so I know I will have to block it later, but I'm not sure which method to use. Googled a bit but wasn't able to come up with anything, only that blocking may cause the bamboo to lose its crispness and lustre. I'm leaning towards just pinning and spritzing, but I don't know if that will be enough to kill the curl.

What are your experiences with blocking yarn with bamboo in it? Any suggestions would be helpful!
