I love to press my hair with a pressing comb but I no longer have access to a gas stove. I have a stove for a pressing comb, but every time I plug it in, it shuts down my electricity.
With a pressing comb, you can use a heat protectant as long as it does not go on WET! If it goes on wet and you press right after that, the hair will fry and burn. It's okay to use a wet heat protectant during the blow dry stage.
Reniece suggested that I use Vitapoint, which is a cream press, when pressing my hair. I like it and my hair gets straight with it. If I want lots of body and movement, I can't put anything in my hair, not even a heat protectant.
