What it's Made Of and it's Purpose

Pictured above are my personal hot combs both manual
and electric.

 =>The entire purpose of the hot comb is for women of African descent with moderate or extremely coarse hair can have an opportunity to have straight manageable desirable hair.  Today there are two different types of hot combs used to achieve this goal.

Pictured above is the manual hot comb

 =>The first and most effective type of hot comb, is the iron comb with the wooden base.  This the most effective type of hot comb because of the amount of heat it holds that is used to straighten the hair. It's made of iron for the comb portion and wood for the base.

Pictured above is the electric hot comb

=>The second type of comb is the electric hot comb.  I personally only use this comb for travel purposes, due to it not being as effective as the manual hot comb.  This hot comb does not heat up as hot as the manual one, and in my opinion is really only beneficial for minor touch ups.
