A Hot Comb (also known as pressing comb or straightening comb) is a metal Comb that is used to straighten moderate or course hair and create a smoother hair texture. During slavery, many African Americans tried to mimic European style to increase their social status. One of the physical aspects that made African Americans so different was their hair texture. Therefore, many slaves looked to find ways to straighten their hair to achieve a straighter and relaxed texture to their hair. Some of the first unconventional methods include men “slicking their hair with axle grease to create a hair straightener. Women would slather their hair with butter, bacon fat, or goose grease and then use a butter knife heated in a can over a fire as a crude curling iron.”
