I HOT COMBED MY NATURAL HAIR!

[@mrs.jack-string2420]

Honestly, after doing my own hair for years, I've found those electric hot combs just don't give the same results as the hot combs you place on the stove which we Black American women are very familiar with. There is also a way you hold the hot comb to allow the back of the comb, that bar, do the pressing while the teeth go through the hair strands, 💯

[@CurlyNikkie]

That's so true! Those stove hot combs were super effective in achieving the desired result. I will try to hold that way next time

The mini electric hot comb I bought from Amazon heats up to between 450 -500 degrees. It gets my hair straight and stays 90-95٪ straight until I wash it again with no heat damage. I also purchased another electric hot comb that allows me to choose the temperature up thru 500 degrees, but I haven't used it yet. I say all that to say that today's electric hot combs absolutely gets hot enough and gets the job done. For context, my hair is 4a and 4b textures. Check what's out there again. 😊 Also, it wasn't until I learned the best technique (spine of the comb actually straightens the hair) that I saw the same results I had as a child with the old school hot comb. And if you use it right, it can eliminate the flat iron/comb technique altogether.

[@CurlyNikkie]

Wow. I will definitely be on the look out for better hot combs out there. Thank you.

Good job Nikkie...a friend gifted me that hot comb...I had imaginations of a hot metal going through my hair and probably contacting my scalp🥺. I went to the salon along with it. However, the salon guy used it straight away on my already shrunk hair without blow-drying it first. Obviously it failed. This was eye opening👏

[@CurlyNikkie]

Oh gosh! 1st of all stay away from such salons unless you're giving them clear instructions on how to work your hair 😅. 2nd of all, thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed

[@natrlchallenge]

You don't need a blow dryer first if it is an old school straitening comb you put on the stove. If you have an electric one..then blow dry for straight hair.

[@Yo-yo-dt5ze]

Them electric straightening combs don’t get hot like the ones you put on the stove I just started back using my hot comb I have 4c hair I had to learn through trial and error that it’s the back of the comb that straightens the hair the teeth just helps to glide through hair

[@CurlyNikkie]

I learned that lesson really quick for sure because the comb was doing nothing. Next time I will try the back end

[@Brooklyn-vf6dl]

Sis its the back of the comb that straightens the hair

[@CurlyNikkie]

Yeah I figured that out towards the end 😂

[@bnjnpwdfl]

I’m not sure if this was already mentioned, but it’s the back of the comb that straightens

[@CurlyNikkie]

Yes someone mentioned it but I definitely will have to try it again with the back of the comb

[@KingJay2610]

So with an electric hot comb you have to heat it at the highest heat use some greAse and you have to pull the comb thru your hair with the back of the comb

[@CurlyNikkie]

Ahh that's good advice. Thank you, I will try that

[@ispitfactzboi1518]

The electric hot combs don’t do the job!!!!! I’ve been getting my hair hot combed since I was 7… So I kno for a fact! But with the old school hot comb your hair would’ve been FLAT AND STRAIGHT!! Try the normal 1 next time and you’ll LOVE the outcome!! ❤ Best Wishes Beautiful…

[@CurlyNikkie]

Thank you ❤️ . Next time I'm definitely trying the old school hot comb because this wasn't it for sure

[@dwainesworld1019]

7:35 what's the song here called? I've heard it before

[@CurlyNikkie]

It's called call me by LiQWYD from thematic

[@ngeteloandziso5576]

Can it go back to afro

[@CurlyNikkie]

Yes it definitely can as long as you're careful with how you apply the heat being careful not to cause heat damage

[@angellaalakit]

I love the energy in the voice😍😍😍😍

[@CurlyNikkie]

😁Thank you

[@lorealdrayton6164]

thanks for sharing! You look great!

[@CurlyNikkie]

Thank you! And thank you for watching

[@extrovert5829]

I bought this hot comb and I was so disappointed. I don't know where to get the Old school one.

[@CurlyNikkie]

Totally can relate to the disappointment too. Still on the search for that one too

[@angellaalakit]

Warm Combing😂😂

[@CurlyNikkie]

Exactly 🤣🤣. I was fearing for nothing

[@cindychristian1700]

Try the Temu or a hot comb like it.

[@CurlyNikkie]

Yes I'm definitely going to try getting my hands on it

[@candiceworthey1322]

Not using your hotcomb correctly

[@londiwedube1408]

Inspirational

[@CurlyNikkie]

Thank you

[@MusanaFred-pj6sv]

How much

[@CurlyNikkie]

It was a gift but I think it was around 100k +

[@allornothingang]

WILL A HOT COMB ALSO REMOVE SPLIT ENDS?

[@CurlyNikkie]

No. I wouldn't recommend using a hot comb to remove split ends. Hair shears are your best option

[@allornothingang]

@@CurlyNikkie thank you so much

[@lindasita2585]

I use this comb to detangle my hair after wash it.

[@CurlyNikkie]

Hmm interesting 🤔 never heard of anyone doing that

[@cookie234ful1]

I was thinking about getting a hot comb but after seeing your results I'll pass. Your final result look like a blow out.

[@CurlyNikkie]

Yeah wouldn't recommend. Unless it gets significantly hotter

[@natrlchallenge]

You want to get the vintage hot comb you put on the stove. That sucker gets super hot and will straiten the hair. You have to be careful with it, though because you can severely increase the chances of heat damage

[@liliankerubo9319]

How do I untwist the code ..I just bought mine

[@CurlyNikkie]

I think you should be able to unravel it if it's in a knot. I'm the hot comb is a bit old and I wasn't the one that unsealed it

[@lifewithleahbeauty]

Niice

[@CurlyNikkie]

Thank you 😊

[@AtugonzaTuhaise]

How much money

[@CurlyNikkie]

It was a gift so in unfortunately don't know the price but probably not more than 200k

[@w.a.watson3078]

This is old, old, school. However, back in the day the results were more amazing.

[@CurlyNikkie]

True. Those OG hot combs really got that hair straight
