Hello Everyone!
Below are my results from pressing my hair with a hot comb. I have been skeptical about using a hot comb in the past because I didn't want to burn my hair, but with practice with different flat irons, I got up the nerve to use a hot comb. Plus, my hair is use to a hot comb since that's what my mom used for the past 13 years.
I suggest for those who presses their hair regularly, the hot comb can get hair straighter than a flat iron. I posted pictures of my miniglide results about 4 weeks ago, and it came out ok, but within a couple of days my hair started to get frizzy, and I hated that! When my mom presses my hair with a hot comb, it never gets frizzy, and stays straight until I wash it again. I don't wash my hair every week, so getting my hair as straight as I can get is the best for me. For those who wash their hair frequently, or do not press their hair that often, I would suggest a flat iron.
Anyway, I have some issues that I believe some of you will be able to help me!
1. The left side of my hair is a little bit longer, thicker, and healthier (I think) than the right side of my hair. I have tried doing a good trim to even both sides, but it grew back the same...lol Any suggestions?
2. The right side of my hair (the temple) area is thinner than the left, due to me wrapping my hair to the left for many years (I didn't know any better then), and now I wrap every other direction every night, but that side doesn't seem to be thickening up. Any suggestions?
For those who want my regime:
1. Wash hair with Creme of Nature Shampoo (any one)
2. Condition with Queen Helene, or Salerm 21 (when I'm in a rush)
3. Air Dry with a little bit of Olive Oil (ORS), Fantasia IC (Heat Protectant) and Dudleys Pressing Creme
4. Braid up for the next day
5. Press with Dudley's Pressing Creme
6. Grease with Africa's Bets Horsetail & Rosemary Har Vitalizer (which doesn't have any petrolatum or mineral oil) and seal with BB Carrot Oil Hair Strengthener.
