    Hate to correct you here, Brian, but as one of the few black people on this forum, I feel I must. That's not a hot comb. A hot comb presses your hair straight, (and I'm talking kinky black hair). This is more of a styling blow dryer set.

    But just so you know, I've known HOT COMB LOVE!

    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

          Thanks for the laugh so early to start my day. Y'know I used to be married to a white man, and I taught him to press my hair after I washed it, b/c I couldn't see in the back of my head and didn't wanna burn myself. So even he knew hot comb love!

            I was reading this column the other day about interracial marriage/relationships and the author referenced the "hair" thing. Not sure why this would make much difference to a white guy, seeing as how white women obsess about and put their hair through all sorts of torture as well.

                My grandfather had one of these, I remember it well. A manly hairdryer, it is.

                    I actually had a version of this with a longer handle and different attachments. I'm not sure I ever used it.

                      Without reading the entire article, let me speak only for myself:

                      I personally have no issues w/ race at all. I just don't wanna be married anymore, (and the divorce wasn't my idea.). As far as the hair thing goes, black women who press their hair and spend lotsa money on hair care products and beauty shops, (trust me on this one, I've been through it ALL), restrict themselves from certain activities b/c of hair. Going to the pool, hot tub or beach? Not if your hair was just pressed. Foggy or rainy day? BIG trouble. Lotsa humidity, also trouble. I don't press my hair anymore, (b/c it really isn't good for it), and it's so liberating, b/c I don't feel restricted and my beauty shop bill has gone down considerably, (although hair care product got higher, so I guess it evens out). I can see how some men would be annoyed by this. Not all of them are good natured enough to be willing to learn to press hair. Thankfully, my ex was. I took adult swim lessons twice a week and had to wash my hair. Hubby would press it. Not many men would do this, so I can see how hair could be an issue, and depending on genetic factors, why it may be an issue for their kids as well.

                        I remember my Dad having one of these and I used it a few times as I got older before it up and died. Even now, it's sitting in a refuse pile buried somewhere underground, still patiently waiting to decompose....

                              I still have my blow dryer! I use it to warm up mego heads & boots for easy removal/installation.
