The Kizure K-52 is my personal favorite. It is the one in between the two hot combs with the black handles in the photo. It has coarse teeth teeth that are spaced apart slightly more than than the fine-teeth hot combs. So it's a good choice for pressing medium to thick along with coarse hair. The comb is intentionally weighted and it's possible to achieve a one pass hard/silk press with that comb.
I do want to mention the other ones though since they are all really good for what they were designed for:
- The one at the to of the photo is the K-32. on that one the comb is curved. The teeth are spaced apart for medium to thick/ coarse hair. With the curve on the comb itself the comb is designed for the motion of pressing, where you insert the comb and bend your wrist to make you hair glide over the spine of the comb with tension to straighten it out. The shape makes it a lot easier to prevent burning yourself for those afraid of getting the hot comb close to the scalp.
- The second one down in the photo is the K-0 comb. This comb has the fine teeth spacing and is also a smaller comb for short hair and edges.
- I talked about the K-52 the third one down in the top portion of my post
- The forth one down is the K-27. It has medium weight and coarse teeth spacing. You can get the exact same one pass results with that one as the K-52 by a applying extra weight to the comb and tension to your hair with your wrist as you use it.
- The one at the bottom is the double press comb. It has teeth on the front and the spine of the comb. It has fine teeth spacing. Most people I know that still use Kizure will say this one is their favorite. It is like the pressing with the chase method because you have teeth in the front a smooth panel followed by teeth on the spine as the hair passes over and through the comb. One pass will give 3 hits to the hair. Front: smooth: spine. It's teeth are the closest together for fine to medium hair but it will work fine on thick or course hair just fine in smaller sections.
There are more fine and light weight combs by this brand that I don't own but I expect they reflect the same quality that I have come to love in my combs. I am not sure if Kizure is still open since their site has been down for years. I did a quick google search and found one site with Kizure combs still in stock on
https://alleyesonmehair.com/ but I don't know if it's this site is legit since the Kizure Iron Works site closed years ago and I can't quickly find independent reviews of the
https://alleyesonmehair.com site. I do periodically see legit sets of Kizure combs on ebay for really amazing prices and they have all the stamps and proof of authenticity too. Since so many new tools get released a lot of folks overlook the value of Kizure combs/irons now. So I think if you want to get a Kizure comb you would be able to snag one.
. And this is the problem again. The quality and material of these newly made tools is just not the same as it once was. My old comb was solid and the teeth were just right. Now, this one I'm going to pick up tomorrow, didn't look to be the same quality. I might have to order online if I'm not happy with what's on offer OTG.
) and I got three 1foot tall piles of clothes on my floor, along with some other stuff.
