That's the kind of pressed hair I grew up getting those hard pressings with the pressing grease/oil. Im trying to find somebody who knows how to do it & can get all my Knicks and crannies the way my og hairstylist use to do. It was so straight and silky but it wasn't light it was a good thick press.

[@LifeWithBerylanne]

Hopefully you find someone that can do a great job! Humidity got to my hair as well, making it thick. ⚘

[@ItsJustCara]

Can I make a suggestion that may help you... Instead of blow drying your hair and then using the hot comb later, let your hair air dry completely, then use the hot comb method. Let me know if this works for you 😊

[@richellepullum4717]

Love! Love! Love!

[@JBanks333]

Had relaxed hair since age 15. Cut it ALL OUT & bn natural for nearly a yr. Going back t🤭 press & curl.

[@Ellen2378-b5k]

I like your filter. I use the same technique. Only I like to have my hair already straightened and then I set it afterwards to give it more bounce and volume.

[@CorrinaJosephine]

You can buy a marcel oven at Sally’s beauty supply and for go an actual oven😊 also make sure you get a really good blowdryer comb combo and get right at the new growth and make sure you have good tension on the section of hair as you blow dry, I love to use Mizani Rose H2O when I blow dry😃 Your hair is amazing luv!

[@LifeWithBerylanne]

Thanks for watching! 💕

[@dvd6479]

I never did like the smell of the stinky greasy hot comb. I prefer the flat iron. Funny thing is I don't straighten my hair anymore. I just add some curling cream on it and go. At this stage in my life it doesn't matter I'm 62 years old lol😄

[@jahlaune]

You took me back but my mom used Glossitna or apex hair gloss and air drying cause a blow dryer and a hot comb is too much heat . But liked your video this is a lost art

How do I prevent heat damage after using a hot comb

[@LifeWithBerylanne]

Use low heat setting. Use a protective heat spray. Use coconut oil or hot comb pressing oil beforehand. Keep your hair moisturized as much as possible. Don't use hotcombs daily, just once in a blue moon. Hope this helps! 👍❤

[@melodysafo5437]

@@LifeWithBerylanne I used a relaxer on my hair when I was 11 and it ruined my hair. I never used it again. So I’m going to stick to hot comb! How do I clean my hot combs?

[@LifeWithBerylanne]

Oh my! 😱 I finally relaxed my hair since high school, little over 10 years ago! It took a lot of thinking and patience but turned out well! 😊 Maybe soak the hotcomb in hot water and use a scrubber. (Soap pad like Brillo or SOS pad). Or a light degreaser spray that removes grease and gunk. Let it air dry. Hope this helps! ❤

[@MiamiGoldeOfficial]

I’m so confused. so how does the comb stay hot?

[@LifeWithBerylanne]

The comb needs to be reheated by a stove top or portable stove device. Thanks for watching! ⚘

What products did you use to wash, condition, and before blow drying?

No, you don't have to use DAX Pomade specifically. You can use another brand that works for you. I also use "Ultra Sheen Creme Satin Press". It works the best, used it in childhood too. It's in a yellow jar. I bought it after this video was made. Thanks for watching!⚘

@@reneaslyfe If you mean like the glass top flat electric stoves, I wouldn’t recommend it. I was told my cast iron cookware would damage and cause bubbling on a stove like the one you have. Hot combs seem like they might cause a similar effect. Alternatively there are electric hot combs. Those might be a better option for you.

The only heat protectant anyone has ever used on me was right after I shampoo and it's wet and I don't think that would work oh, the hair is wet and the heat protecting is liquid. So do you use oil and wet heat protectant , is that what causes buildup?

Hm..it may be happening because the hair itself is short. It's a bit hard to tell without seeing your texture, style, etc. Maybe try using a steady hand as you go down the hair.... be sure to not "flick" the wrist at the end of the hair. Hope this helps! 👍
