Self-Pressing n' Curl

[Plenty]

Hello All

I just got my hair pressed today. It was beautiful. I would like to learn to do it myself. Two questions:

1. Can you tell me your experience pressing your own hair?
2. With what electric pressing combs have you had good experiences?


Thank you for your time.

Plenty!

Umm yeah... a few years ago I burned a good chunk of my hair out by doing this. The key is to make sure you have the right temperature. Too hot and you'll burn it... A little too cool and you might cause heat damage from running the comb thru multiple times to get the hair straight enough...

Would you considering flatironing instead of using a pressing comb? I think that would be a lot easier for you to learn to do. I know you asked about pressing though but just wanted to bring it up. There are lots of posts about flatironing if you are interested.
