Baby Flo – The Sizzling Hot Pressing Comb

This one called... “The Sizzlin’ Hot Pressin’ Comb!” 😳🔥

Back in the day when I was little, my auntie used to press our hair in the kitchen.

I still remember that yellow kitchen…
with that BIG ol’ white stove sittin’ right by the back porch! 😅

She’d sit you down between her big ol’ thighs,
holdin’ you still and sayin’,
“Be still, gal! BE STILL!”

Then she’d grab that hot pressin’ comb…
with the cotton cloth wrapped around the back of it! 😳

She’d dip her fingers in that white Bergamot grease —
rub it on your scalp from the root to the end —
then take that hot comb and press that hair straight!

*Pssshhhh... pssshhh!*
You could hear it sizzlin’!
Ooooh weee!

She upgraded to Ultra Sheen later —
but it ain’t never beat that white Bergamot jar! 💆🏽‍♀️

When she was done, she’d say:
“Now you good to go, gal!”

But I was tender-headed!
That’s what they called it when you holler and cry...

But NOT between them thighs! 😳
Uh uh! No screamin’ or hollerin’ there!

And THAT was no joke! 🤣
Ha Ha Ha!
