What does everyone think about the old fashioned cordless ones that you put on the stove versus the 'newer' ones with the cords? My opinion: I used both and I like the ones that you put on the stove better. What do you think?

I had one of those still around. I think i threw it away though. Mine was tore up though. The Wood part closes to the metal was burnt up. lol. I hear pressing natural hair is better than actually flat ironing it. Anyone else can clue me in? |
I Went natural a few years back under my Weaves lol . My hair maintains moisture and growth using my Kentucky PC . I always use a tissue to pass , which makes the hair bone straight without damage . Mama was right lol . |
Using a tissue? Do you use a tissue in the same way like how people pass through their hair with a comb while straightening to make it come out straighter or..? |
I use the Tissue during the entire pass . Only charmin lol to avoid white bits all over.
