Hair Tip of the Day!
No Pressing Combs!!! Tools should never be used on already relaxed chemically processed hair. They were never intended for relaxed hair. They were only made for unprocessed natural black hair. Instead, use a flat iron because the heat is not as intense. Also, remember to add a protective hair spray to your hair because adding heat to your hair when it is dry, leads to more breakage. Remember, black hair cannot retain length if hair keeps breaking. But if you choose to use a pressing comb, make sure you use the one with a attachable plug, not the one you have to put on the stove. But my advice is that you don't use a pressing comb on relaxed hair.

I am going from perm to natural hair. I will gradually get the perm cut out. Is it okay to use a pressing comb during transition?
ReplyDeleteI am soooo sorry it took me sooo long to respond. It's just that I haven't posted on my blog in sooo long lol and didn't think that nobody really was visiting my site. But to answer your question, yes it is okay. But only press your newgrowth. It is okay to press your newgrowth because it is less fragile than your relaxed hair. I have been transitioning my hair since Feb 2011 and that's what I've been doing. Hope this helps:)
