HOW TO | SILK PRESS on 4C HAIR Using A HOT COMB!!!

[@dzb0046]

Anyone else ever feel like when our moms and grandmoms used the old school pressing combs and all those “curl activators” and grease our hair was healthier ? I feel like that now that I see this pressing comb lol loved this

[@lavonyahaywood5791]

For sure! I've been feeling this way too. My hair was long when I was a child, and never had heat damage from a stove top hot comb, and royal crown hair grease!! These new oils, spray heat protestants, and flat irons just are not cutting it for me.

[@elizabethcrowder7044]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@lifewithsuzzyq2039]

So true my hair was much healthier back in the days. My mon sent me to the hairdresser yo do my press.

[@Lalujamama5]

@@lavonyahaywood5791 same I'm going back to old school!

[@cindychristian1700]

@@lavonyahaywood5791 Yeah when I do my first press again I think I'll go back to the hot comb!

[@RG-nw6kr]

Because you're using an electric hotcomb, nothing beats the old fashioned one that heats up on a stove eye...or hot plate.

[@Quijuandas]

True

[@ToniMBullock]

I agree. The roots would’ve gotten straighter

[@joy5016]

I’m from South Africa and we never really hot combed. Would a hot comb be damaging to hair? Is it safe? Or would you have heat damage?

[@ToniMBullock]

Joy I recommend an electric one to avoid heat damage. The temperature is better controlled, the combs in the stove have variable temps and can easily overheat. I really like the instyler as well. Very similar results.

[@Karmag3]

@@joy5016 it is just as damaging as any other heat. If you use a heat protector 🧴 you will be ok.

[@starbaby2671]

The hairstyle you had before you straightened your hair (when you blew it out) looked elegant. Could you upload a tutorial please

[@Quijuandas]

It was literally 4 chunky twists pinned up and out of the way but I have a similar style in mind that I will film a tutorial on in the near future 🙂

[@guirlainejean1165]

Happy birthday my dear your hair looks beautiful

[@starbaby2671]

Quijuandas Well it looked lovely. Thanks for a great tutorial

[@shannonarmstrong6364]

I agree loved the blown out chunky twists also

[@MayaGalore]

Hair is GORG!! ❤️ Love your personality too babe!

[@nichegoseberazdvatri]

I remember straightening a black woman’s hair when I was in beauty school. No big deal, only took 4 hours, 😂 her hair was down to her waistline.

[@Quijuandas]

Easy peasy. lol

[@latoyavanderbilt9102]

So beautiful yes! Just ordered a pressing comb and after watching this video can not wait to use your technique.

[@yoursisesthermeya]

I don’t use new products. I stick to grease and hot combs and protective styles. Just coloured my hair ginger and it’s thick and healthy and shiny. Old school is best. I’m in the UK xx

[@Quijuandas]

Yes indeed! Old school is definitely best. Thanks for watching 💕💕💕

Yes agreed.

[@tblack1264]

Thanks this video is really helpful im trying to learn these beauty shops expensive lol I remember Granny doing this to the females in the family she not with us anymore the baby wants her natural hair

[@Quijuandas]

Awww I’m glad the video was helpful ♥️

[@A14Rors]

Ok my hot comb (inherited from step mum) lives in a kitchen drawer, every now & again when the front needs a touch up i put it on stove top and pass it through, then cool it in cold water and put it back in drawer. But those bare shoulders babes - a total no no, put a towel around it, that hot thing drop on you, you getting a burn for sure.

[@ikramrufai3175]

How did you get your hair to grow so long? Any tips on hair growing?

[@Quijuandas]

Hey! I have a video up on this that may be due for an update but basically a simple haircare regimen, a go-to protective style, and patience.

[@tamaracooper5]

What product do you keep your hair moisturized after using the hotcomb?

[@Quijuandas]

I don’t really moisturize when my hair is straight because I want it to last but I use an anti frizz serum (Garnier has a good one) to keep it shiny and frizz free.

[@ShainaJay]

is there even much of a difference? i feel like if im still gonna need to use the flat iron i should just skip the hot comb, its basically 2 passes of the flat iron just adding an extra step

[@Quijuandas]

I’m pretty sure the flat iron wouldn’t be necessary with an old school pressing comb.

[@ShainaJay]

@@Quijuandas ok so get the one that goes on the stove? i bought an electric one!

[@keishawhite8085]

Or just use the hot comb on the roots and edges cause it can get closer and the flat iron the length. I used to do it but it is timely.

[@rashida7777]

It looked a bit dry. Maybe a deep oil treatment after a hydrating treatment. Okay to use protein conditioners when using heat. Your hair also reverted back quickly. You can tell with the curl pattern on the ends it became frizzy. Mine did that...It's when I needed more moisture, a trim, or when the heat isn't high enough. Also, you have to have a more uniformed system. If you will use the pressing comb first then flat iron. Do that every time. Even with the stray hairs. Don't think that it's just a little section it won't matter. Your hair will look more uniform. This is your first time in 5 years since using your flat iron. I think that the style you chose is wonderfully carefree and can easily be arranged in a "natural" hairstyle as it gets older.

[@Quijuandas]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@esthersmith9755]

not silk press looks like its been relaxed

[@babyiamhome]

It actually doesn’t look relaxed. It looks like straightened Afro hair and that’s it.

[@Virtuenow]

Why did you run the blowdryer over after you pressed? I might have to try that. Looks pretty, btw.

[@Quijuandas]

To get it to lay as flat as I possibly could :) Thank you for watching 💕

[@Ellen2378-b5k]

Your silk press looks fly and stunning so you pin curl or add rollers to it at night when you do this?

[@Quijuandas]

Thank you! And yes. I add flexi rods to the ends :)

[@Ellen2378-b5k]

@@Quijuandas Okay that’s great. And then how do you wash it to keep it from reverting when it is time to wash it? Because I know that that’s important, too but at the same time I don’t want to lose the style or look.

[@originallilmisstex]

Either way you wear it it looks beautiful!

[@michelleturner-goldsmith3555]

Your hair is a stunning and I love the quality of your videos. What do you use for your background and lighting?

[@Quijuandas]

Thank you 🙂 I use two soft boxes and a ring light.

[@chella-sabinerwantango1665]

Hi! I loved your tutorial and I’m fond of your results. But how long does your hair last and what do you do to make it last even longer?

[@Quijuandas]

Hey!! It lasts for about a month and I make it last by avoiding moisture/water, using flexi rods to maintain the curls, and wearing a bonnet at night.

[@audreywalker9401]

[@charnaejenkins9493]

Hello, what temperature did you use your hot comb on?

[@Quijuandas]

Hey gorgeous! I had it set on 425.

[@misslori9725]

Nothing works better than the ORIGINAL hot comb that you put on the stove. All of these girls using flatirons damage their hair.

[@Quijuandas]

The original definitely works better. Thanks for watching.

[@samiramatos5078]

I'm sorry, I'm Brazilian and I would like to know which products are used in Silk Press. Thanks for helping me out.

[@Quijuandas]

All you need is a serum or light oil. You don’t want to use too much product or it may weigh your hair down. Hope this helps.

To be honest you have one of the best Afro’s on KZbin!

[@Quijuandas]

Why thank you! 💕

[@cheche60628]

For me...and I have a nice length of all natural hair....the old school pressing iron works very well and it doesn't take 2&3 pass through or a flat iron. My Mom raised us pressing our hair with the old iron that you put on the stove. Try it you'll get a straighter look.

[@fortunate1forever670]

Exactly, the hair salon that grew my hair down my back only uses pressing combs. When clients want to do their hair at home it’s recommended to use two to three electric combs to control the heat. I still use my pressing comb that you place on the stove. I bought the hot comb stove for it.

[@LamaraTanae]

Your hair is amazing but I thought you were Kelly Rowland

[@cherell1439]

Did your hot comb have a certain setting? Or could the temp Not be adjusted to prevent having to use hot comb and flat iron?

[@Quijuandas]

The hot comb had a temperature dial that could be adjusted up to 500 degrees so you could definitely use teh hot comb alone :)

When using the hot comb does it have a temperature control or there is a set temperature like 450/500 , if so did you have to wait for the hot comb to cool out by unplugging it?

Hey! The one I used has a temperature control that goes up to 500.
