U-TIP: Hair Styling a Flat Ironing Alternative

[Momofateen]

The Dudley pressing cream is just what helps the heat to penetrate to your hair to press it, it doesn't protect it against the damaging side effects of the high temperature of the heat from the electric pressing comb. Thanks for the comment :)

I thought that the Dudley pressing cream already have heat protectant mixed in

@natrlchallenge I only press my hair during the winter months (Oct-Feb) and then I let it go back to its natural curly state for the summer and spring months (March-Sept). I maintain the look, using a pressing cream and Silk Elements products.

How often do you do this and how do you maintain your strait look?

[hellokittyrocksyodad]

yours work better than mine :( but maybe because i didnt use a pressing cream or grease.

@hellokittyrocksyodad Is your pressing comb "Hot & Gold", I only use their products. Yes, the pressing cream or the hair oils do help the heat to penetrate through your hair. I use "Organic Blue Magic" and "Marcel Wax". Try these and tell me how they work for you :)

I've just started using a hotcomb and have a few questions.I was told to wash and blow dry my hair, section it off add the oil for moisture and then run the comb through each section. my question is afterwords how do I keep it shinny andcan I wash it or will the curls come back

Hi,thanks 4 the response, i wear my hair under a weave right now and i'm also searching for alternatives to avoid relaxers.I have both a pressing comb and flation and any review i see stating the pro's and cons interest me, but i will read up more on hair protection...enjoy ur day & all the best 4 the new year!

Your welcome. Hair protection is key, I use Silk Elements Hair Protection Spray, Silk Elements Hair Mousse (which protects the hair as well), Silk Elements Polish (that protects) and the pressing cream I use called Dudley's Hair Pressing Cream is a protectant as well. Have a blessed day to you too.

In response to my recommendation to use Dudley Pressing Cream when you press your hair with this "electric pressing iron"; the product can only be purchased from a licensed beautician. Hope that this helps you with your hair.

Hi, thanks alot & I did go searching for the product, unfotunately they don't seem to have that product in my country/island(Trinidad). So I'll hold back 4 awhile until something offering simlar protection pops up, but I appreciate the recommendation non the less.

Hi don't get me wrong but the electric iron has been around awhile now, I've had one over 5yrs now, but from watching several other vids, the complaint seems 2 b about changing your hair texture permanently and using oil based products which burn ur hair. My pressing comb is goldplated and has a control settings, but with all the talk of ceramic/tourmaline products. I'm chillin' out on the fence with the whole heat application stuff wish u luck with ur choice

[Momofateen]

The electric combs have been out for some time now, yes. However this video is to give an alternative to flat irons, which have also been out for awhile. This technique will not change your hair texture permanently. I, myself, can revert back to my curly natural hair when I wash it. The pressing cream is waxed based so it doesn't melt to burn hair or scalp,it protects it. Years ago they did use oil and a heat comb that would burn it. Don't use oil on your hair if the comb burns you, however. :)
