I have the same problem. I bought the maxiglide about 8 months ago and two people use it almost on a daily basis. The blue light does not stop flashing and it will only warm up, but not enough to straighten my hair. Does anyone know how to fix it

Unfortuantely the Maxiglide dead.. meaning it is no longer working.. time to find another flat iron.. i.e Sedu is much better and more dependable.....

yes it will depending on how short

if you use the maxiglide it will take out your hair if you use it on the regular basis. just don't pull your hair tightly.

hello. i am also looking to see if this straightner will ruin my hair. but i am very worried because i have extremely thick hair. and although my curls arent as tight as the poeple on the infomerchial my culs are still very hard to manage. but i do find that straighteners like this do not damage your har very much at all as long as you dont apply to much pressure.

I take the plate with the teeth off and clean with a few Qtips and water- sometimes with alcohol... or take it off and soak it in hot water.. just make sure ites dry when u put it back on

Mine is doing the same thing. I use a tooth brush to clean mine!

It did for me! I'm African American as well. If you're hair is maybe pinky lenghth, it may be easier to use the small maxi glide that comes with the large one. My hair is about medium length (almost shoulder length) and it works perfectly.

it works but it doesn't get your edges very good.

Yes it does work. I did not use the steam/water function, but it straightens beautifully. I have not had a perm/relaxer in 2 years. My hair looks as if I have a fresh perm. Rub a little oil on your hair before using this product and the shine is great.

My hair is permed but it's the glorious thick/kinky kind of hair that's hard to do anything with with even a perm. It just depends if your hair is healthy. If it's a perm and you regulary get your ends clipped etc, you should be more than alright. Me for instance, I'll probably still continue to get perms, but the maxi glide has already made my life so much easier! I don't even use the steam burst!

This product will straigten your hair, but if you have broken ends, the only way to fix that is with a cut. I use the maxiglide in my salon almost daily, and I've used it on girls with EXTREAMLY kinky curly hair, and on girls with damaged hair. If your finding that hot curlers make the problem appear to DISappear, its because those ends are curling under so you can't see them. I would give it a shot, but it sounds like what you need most is a trim....

yes it pulls your hair out i can see almost all my hair through the grids. yes you must comb your hair before using it.
