A pressing comb with closer teeth spacing is designed to achieve which effect?

Loose Waves
Curly Texture
Volume Enhancement
Smooth Press

The correct answer is: Smooth Press

A pressing comb with closer teeth spacing is designed to achieve a smooth press. The closer spacing of the teeth allows for a more refined grip on the hair, enabling the comb to effectively straighten and smooth the hair strands as they are pressed. This technique reduces frizz and creates a polished finish, making it ideal for achieving a sleek and straight look. The other effects, such as loose waves, curly texture, and volume enhancement, typically require tools or techniques that promote movement or define curls rather than smoothing the hair. For instance, looser teeth spacing or different styling methods would be more suitable for those textured styles, emphasizing the unique role of closer teeth spacing in achieving a smooth finish.
