Annie Turnbo Malone obtained the first patent in 1900, but Madam CJ Walker (Sarah Breedlove) made improvements on the comb by widening the teeth for better result in straightening and prevention of tearing and breaking the hair.
In later years after improvements, Walter Sammons obtained a patent on the pressing comb in 1920. By this time Madam CJ Walker (1867-1919) was dead. Walter Sammons did not invent the pressing comb.
The pressing comb was actually invented and produce in France in the mid 1800s.

To test a pressing comb, heat it to the appropriate temperature and then carefully run it through a small section of hair. Observe how well the comb straightens or curls the hair, noting the evenness of the heat distribution. Additionally, check for any signs of damage or residue on the comb after use. Ensure it maintains its shape and functionality after repeated use.
Yes, you can use a pressing comb on a gas stove, but it requires caution. Ensure the comb is made of heat-resistant material, and avoid direct contact with flames to prevent damage or burns. It's best to heat the comb gradually and test the temperature before using it on hair to avoid injury or hair damage. Always prioritize safety by handling the heated comb carefully.
It was invented for detangling hair, and just brushing your hair.
