HOT HAIR COMB Straightener!

[@RachaelGiglio]

This is what my mom used every week on my sisters 4c hair when she had washday. I think they have been around for years in the back hair community. They didn't used to be electric, you used to have to heat it up on the stove. You can use the curved back of the comb to hit little baby hairs and to give the root some lift.

Thats what I thought I don't think it was actually meant for straightening but to prevent shrinkage.

[@FknFrenchT0ast]

@GhislaineMaxwell DidNotKillHerself in my experience in cosmetology school these are mostly used to comb out shrinkage not straighten. And after commenting I saw its used for edges as well. I'm really happy people are posting the history here its some pretty accidental education for me lol.

@GhislaineMaxwell DidNotKillHerself Luckily, she's using it wrong. Like with any product, there's a technique. If she'd used it properly, it would have burned the entire section of her hair.

[@juliafranzese1080]

the back of the comb is what truly straightens your hair, start at the base without burning your scalp and gently flow downwards...you can even give the hair a bend with the movement of your wrist at the bottom going up (flip) or down (curled under)

[@jschueth08]

ive never seen a white people use one of these! they have evolved over the years too. in beauty school we had some super old fashioned ones to learn with! i think the oils and products that are used on the hair are really what helps with this iron, and then the style lasts for days!

I'm white with all mixed ethnicities so I have kinky thick curly hair and it takes a bit to straighten. I'm wondering if it could work for my hair? I can't imagine putting a comb through it. Lol I've broken brushes

[@kdenised]

@@nicolemiller7022 heres my over simplified opinion and explanation: If your hair isn't coarse I wouldn't use it. It also needs oil to work well So if your hair type isn't the kind where you oil your scalp and spray oil sheen or oil based products when using flat irons, I wouldn't use this product. I also wouldn't use an electric one. Honestly, if you're not already familiar ( from childhood) with a hot comb and how to use it, it's likely not your best first choice.

[@nicolemiller7022]

[@rhondawillhite9418]

I am white with natural curly hair that if nothing done gets tight frizzy curls. I have had one of these combs for years although haven't used in a while. When I use it or flat iron, etc, have to set on the highest setting. Hope this girl used some kind of heat protectant. Maybe should have upped the setting. And, my hair isn't course. Not sure why she says she is getting frizz.

[@Hannabee15]

Most African American women would just use this electric straightening comb for the edges of their hair. Around their faces and the back of their heads, nearest the neck. There are straightening combs that you:d beat on the burner of a stove or a professional stove for straighteners.

[@CrownedLily]

My mothers best friend from childhood (My aunt) is african american. I remember when I was about 14? I went into her kitchen and saw a comb just sitting on the stove burner. She told me they straightened the girls hair with it. I just remember thinking to myself why would you want straight hair though.

We used this WAY back in the day (only heated on stove) in cosmetology school for coarse (African American) hair to straighten.

[@aliciawilmot-osborne]

A lot of beauty schools are teaching this falsehood. Most black/African hair is fine. The words "Coarse" and "fine" define the diameter of hair strands NOT hair texture. I'm not talking about mixed race people like Beyonce, Nikki Minaj, Mariah Carey.

[@ShellieFleming]

[@hannahrush9101]

Hot combs work better for hitting those edges for people with course or very curly hair. The old school version works better, but you really gotta know what you’re doing! My daughters have a 4c and this tool is key to success as part of a complete style routine. This tool will not be helpful for you because your hair is essentially already straight, and at that point you just want to press it with the flat iron. Also, product like serum and oil make a major difference in combination with this step using the hot comb, which would be tricky on your hair to not make it too heavy. I was checking out this video because I was thinking about trying it on my roots, that have cowlicks and grow in every possible direction. 😒 The flat iron just cant get that close to my scalp. I’m just gonna try it and see! Thanks for sharing!

[@LMmccallL57]

"You can see a huge difference". If you could find video footage of black women with curls and coils, and them having the type of straightening comb that isn't electric used on their hair, you'd really see a huge difference. For many, many years, black women used and still use straightening combs that weren't electric and had no temperature control. You'd put it on your stove, directly into a low flame, put grease on your hair; something like "Royal Crown", and use the comb to melt the grease as your combed through the hair. That's what makes the hair extremely straight and full of shine or sheen. Using the back part of the comb added heat that helped to smooth the hair. There are curling irons that were used in the same way....right into the flame. Those make gorgeous curls. It takes skill to use those tools, and thankfully my mom had them. I tried an electric comb once. Didn't do much of anything to my hair in comparison to the "old school" type or even flat irons. My hairstylist still uses the 'old school" tools because some of her clients don't trust the flat irons. She used them on me once and I was reminded of when my mom used to style my hair. I miss my mom!

[@ToND1Ne]

They’re meant for Afro hair. Use a little heat protection product first, & take smaller sections.

[@belindadouris1438]

This was a first for me ... I’m a hairdresser and we use those on ethnic women Alonso your not seeing it right. You have to use the back bar and pass it over both sides over your Hair. And the best hot combos the old fashioned hot comb

[@Fromdarknessintothelight]

Thank you. Old Fashioned one was dangerous😬🤣🤣my grandma special. She needs protective cream or protective oil for her hair which is what we use before straightening. Help keep shine and bounciness when finished🤦‍♀️🙈😹 but again never saw white women use it before.

[@user-fb3rn4lc6o]

Yeah, these are definitely made for curly and/or coarse hair. It's meant for super tiny thin strands, not big chunks of hair like we do with a straightener. That's why it didn't work very well for you, just fyi. It's gonna work best if you have like an up-do or a braid hairstyle and you use it to get those little face framing peices and flyaways.....that's gonna be your best bet. *LOVE YOUUUUU milana!!!!*

[@dom96_]

Yes it is a race thing. Hot combs are used notoriously for black woman and men and for people with thicker and curly hair. For the most part the tool works best on type C hair not her thin and porous hair type. For her hair type she should be using a straightener, I would also like to point out the fact that she is not using the tool correctly in the first place.

[@feathersprinkles]

so you have to smooth the end opposite the teeth of the comb over the hair. It's a bit like chasing a comb with a flat iron. If you just run the teeth through, you're not doing much. And in my experience, before I learned how to use one, it's just gonna frizz

[@nikolespry8201]

My mother used a hot comb on my hair as a child before and between straightening perms and she bought an electric one for me a few years back. I ended up giving it away when I realized I was never going to use it. Don’t get me wrong, there nothing wrong with putting a hot comb through your hair as long as you do so safely. I just realized it wasn’t for me. I love my hair just the way it is and I find that despite the upbringing that taught me my kinks and curls would not be acceptable, no one, nowadays of course, gets up-in-arms about what I do with my hair or dictates how it should look. Now, I can’t say there aren’t still places where that still happens but, it’s certainly less.

So it is not called teeth lol, I guess you all just starting to learn what was already existing in the black community.

@@Fromdarknessintothelight ya ive used those ones without the cord that have been around for generations. They work so well. So I was referring to the comb cut outs/teeth. Like on a brush they are called bristles. So was it generations ago that they were called comb cut outs and over time they started to be called teeth? Or are hot combs called cut outs and plastic type cutting comes called teeth? I hope I'm making sense. Just curious cause names for things change and evolve and its interesting.

[@Fromdarknessintothelight]

@@DezzKI well the real name is a hot comb or hot iron comb. Not sure who stolen the idea and rename it. Been for more than 100 years old or 200 years old before straight/ perm came in the picture, they would hot iron comb their hair to go to Sunday service or party, my late grandma would put it on the stove and hot it up then iron comb my hair while I was sitting by her stove in the kitchen. Same style hot comb only a bit heavier made entirely out of iron now lighter with a cord.

It’s just called a “hot comb” not “hot hair comb” 😂😂😂

My mom had stick straight hair and towards the end of her first pregnancy her hair started getting wavy and after she had me it went more curly we both had wavy hair growing up then my sisters turned curly after she had her baby idk what causes it though

[@grr4ves]

i never knew these existed. someone told me about them recently and i literally didn’t beige that this was real l

[@CrownedLily]

With the little bit of wave that forming in your hair you should try the curly girl method for a month!

[@BriaBricks]

You should have put it on the highest heat / that’s why it didn’t work

[@sarahseifert8516]

Milana, I love you, but this is not a product for us white girls.

[@sarahbrouhard3245]

Yeah I was going to say the same thing but didn't want to sound racist but I thought this product was more for the African American hair every time I've seen one of these used it's been in one of the hair tutorials that I've watched

[@KR-mx4nt]

Why wont it work? Just curious. What if her hair had more curls?

[@sarahbrouhard3245]

@@KR-mx4nt never said it wouldn't work I'm just saying it's not branded for our kind of hair.

[@1018flower]

Sarah Brouhard not racist at all, me being black we don’t use these(majority of us) the newer generation obviously use hair straighteners but some of the older generation prefer good old hot combs heated up on the stove for that very sleek look, majority of us black people actually think these products are for Caucasian people (not to be rude)

[@sarahbrouhard3245]

@@1018flower see this is why we don't need a racial divide we need to learn more about each other's cultures. I knew it was some kind of comb that I've seen used I didn't know if it was plugged in or not.

[@lucyt6971]

I’ve never seen anything like this-without even acknowledging that it’s a tool made for people of colour with coarse tight curl😮

[@linnateegee9312]

The smooth metal part you have to press it on the hair to straighten it. Not just comb it through.

[@cfoster6804]

See you know the proper technique.

[@92spice18]

This is why her hair was frizzy after. She didn’t use the back part of the comb to smooth the hair.

[@janiceperla5506]

Hot comb was usually used on black peoples hair. I learn to do black peoples hair when I worked with a black girl at my first salon back in the late 1970's

[@Fromdarknessintothelight]

I think they don't care to research. This being so old in our community it needs to go into the hall of fame. Goes back to 100 and 200 years ago.

[@SherrysReviewsandResearch]

Glad to see you reviewd this one. I'm gonna try it soon. I tried the Tymo and a hot beard straightener and they both worked good to smooth, but they didn't get my curly kinky roots like I need when my hair is due for a chemical touch up.And I agree that nothing will give it the same bend that a flatirons will.

[@vickym2346]

I've always used flat irons n its never gotten my hair right 😂 finally bought one of these cuz my hair is a jungle n the flat irons struggle so bad lol

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

Hot combs always make me kind of nervous, but then I've seen people use the old ones that used to be heated on a hob and were hotter than the sun

[@jeanniemk72]

I think that comb would work great with bangs

[@carolnicholson4626]

You have to use the back of the comb to Straighten the hair

[@Sarah-gg4ei]

Try the curly girl method 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@juliadillaman3632]

Mine got really wavy after my second pregnancy.
