Professional Hot Press Comb For Both Commercial And Home Use

A hot press comb, also known as a hot comb or straightening comb, is a hairstyling tool traditionally used to straighten coarse or curly hair textures, particularly in the African-American community. Made of metal with a heat-resistant handle, it works by transferring heat to the hair, breaking down the bonds in the hair shaft to temporarily straighten it. Originally heated on a stove or open flame, modern hot combs are typically electric and offer adjustable temperature controls for safer and more convenient use. The tool is used by carefully combing through small sections of dry hair to achieve a smooth, straight finish. Proper use involves applying heat protectants to minimize damage, as excessive heat can lead to dryness or breakage. Despite the rise of flat irons, the hot comb remains a staple in many households and salons for its precision and effectiveness on roots and edges.
