    It depends on your personal preference along with the texture of your hair. If your hair is fine to medium, you may not need a manual hot comb because that would be too much heat for your hair, and an electric hot comb would be suitable as is. If your hair is more tightly coiled, thick, and coarse, a manual hot comb may be better for you.

    After you have hot combed your hair, you can style it however you like. Now that it's straightened, you'll have quite a bit of flexibility. You could keep it straight and wear it down, put it in a bun, sleek ponytail, etc.

    Wrap your hair at night with a silk/satin scarf. In the morning, remove the wrap and spritz lightly with oil sheen. If you roller set your hair, the press will last a bit longer.

    My electric comb stopped working. Is it safe to use it on a stove?

    No, never use a electric comb on a stove. The materials it is made with cannot withstand the heat from a stove. Just replace the electric comb if it has stopped working. You can check if it has a manufacturer's warranty or just purchase a new one.
