What special consideration must be taken when pressing coarse hair?

When pressing coarse hair, applying enough pressure for straightening is essential. Coarse hair tends to be thicker and has a more resilient structure, which means it requires more force to achieve a smooth and straight appearance. The use of appropriate pressure ensures that the hair cuticles are adequately flattened, allowing for a shiny and polished finish.

In contrast, the use of a low heat setting, while it can be beneficial for fine or damaged hair, does not provide enough heat to effectively straighten coarse hair. Avoiding heat altogether is ineffective because that would prevent the pressing process from achieving desired results. Using a larger pressing comb may not specifically address the need for pressure, as even a standard-sized comb can effectively straighten coarse hair if used with adequate force.
