What does a pressing comb do?

A pressing comb is a heated styling tool used to straighten and smooth naturally curly or kinky hair textures. The comb is designed to be used on dry hair and is typically heated on a stove or with an electrical heating element. The heat from the comb helps to temporarily break down the protein bonds in the hair, making it easier to straighten and style. Pressing combs may also come with a variety of attachments such as teeth or a brush to help detangle and style the hair.
