Any tips on straightening my hair with a hot comb?

I personally don't recommend using hot combs or anything to straighten the hair because over time the hair will become damaged nd ultimately you will have to cut it off. However, if you must use a hot comb try going to a pro, that will save you a lot of time and possibly burns on your scalp, forehead and the nape of your neck. Hope this helps. Peace.
