Product Rating: 5 Best Straightener Ever!
Reviewer: Melissa from Michigan  Sun Jul 29 2007

My hair is really thin, so i was afraid that the MaxiGlide would burn it a lot, but it does not. This is the only straightener that actually straightens my hair the first time and leaves it like that for a long time! The Maxiglide although does leave people with thick, super curly hair feeling a bit dry. However, i would recommend this product to anyone! The MaxiGlide is really Cool!

Product Rating: 3 well....
Reviewer: stacy from atlanta  Thu Jul 26 2007

i have a maxiglide and i give it 50/50. good : since my hair is very thick and wavy, the maxiglide does straighten it but after 20 min, the ends start to woop in twards my face and look a little curly. another bad thing is that after about 6 months, the blue light that tells you when it is heated up never stops blinkinh, so you dont know when its ready AND the steam broke to. it also got less hot, like it doesent straighten as well. ive had it for about a year and a half and i think for christmas im going to ask for a sedu or maybe chi. ( im afriad of buying a chi becuase people say it brakes) but overall, the straightner works, but well, you see my point.

Product Rating: 3 Just a basic straightener
Reviewer: miranda from Ohio  Tue Jul 24 2007

I thought the maxius was the answer to my prayers. Don't get me wrong the maxius does straighten my hair. It doesnt work any better than a walmart straightener. They all straighten but your hair feels like straw. I spent over 100 dollars on mine with another company. im not sure why the maxius would stand out over any other straightener on this website. it does NOT have a swivel CORD! they talk about using it to flip your hair. The cord gets completely tangled. I hate my maxius because it's sooo heavy, makes me hair dry and stinky, and it gets tangled. so i went back to a 1 inch conair from walmart until i got enough money to get a chi. i dont care if a chi "breaks" after a few months, i've used a chi before and it does exactly what i want. the maxius is just a run of the mill straightener...which i wasted my money on.

Product Rating: 4 It's a really good straightener!!!
Reviewer: Naima from austin,texas  Sat Jul 21 2007

The maxi glide works really good on my hair. But the thing I don't like about it is that it has a burning smell so that realy turns me off, and the smell goes through the whole house! Overall it works really good.FOR ALL THE PEOPLE SAY THAT THE MAXI GLIDE DOES NOT WORK, IT DOES WORK!!!! SO STOP LYING AND TELL THE TRUTH BECAUSE I HAVE THE CURLYEST HAIR AND IT STILL WORKS!!!!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 I LOVE MAXIGLIDE!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewer: Melissa from Connecticut  Wed Jul 18 2007

I have really long curly hair and I use to spend so much money to get it straightened. Now I can do it myself and it comes out super straight and soft. I recommend it to everyone! It's totally worth it!

Product Rating: 3 Works well for one year
Reviewer: Kat from New York, NY  Wed Jul 18 2007

If you want great hair for one year this is a good straightener. After a while it starts to tear your hair and gives off the worst burnt hair smell and steams up way too much. It's better to buy something more expensive that will last longer.

Product Rating: 5 Awesome product
Reviewer: Nafeeza from Queens, NY  Tue Jul 17 2007

I recently tried the Maxius Maxiglide hair staightener from my friend Rachel, and it worked wonders with my curly hair. I never thought that there would be an actual hair straightener to straighten and keep my hair straight but I'm very pleased to have come across this product. I'm just waiting patiently for mines to arrive in the mail!!!

Reviewer: ALMA from KANSAS, USA  Mon Jul 16 2007

I BOUGHT THIS STRAIGHTNER ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I TOTALLY HATED IT, MY HAIR IS NOT EVEN THAT WAVY AND IT WAS REALLY HARD TO GET IT STRAIGHT. ALSO SINCE I GOT HIGHLIGHTS IT MADE MY HAIR FALL OFF.(AND IT DOES BURN YOUR SCALP!) I DONT THINK ITS WORTH WHAT IT COSTS, I HOPE THAT AT LEAST THE 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE WORKS. CHICAS NO LA COMPREN!

Product Rating: 5 best straightener ever!!!
Reviewer: roxy from w.p.b florida  Sun Jul 15 2007

i bought the maxieglide about 2 yrs ago saw it in a commercial....i have to say i cant live without it!!

I have very curly hair and it used to take me 2 1/2 hrs to get straight and still it looked puffy.....but i've been using the maxieglide it takes me 15 mins to get it straight its the best!

1 advise......DONT USE IT WITH WATER...USING THE STEAM WILL LEAVE YOUR HAIR PUFFY

Product Rating: 1 WORST PRODUCT EVER
Reviewer: anonymous from Ohio  Sat Jul 14 2007

I bought this last year and have used it only a few times because frankly the $15 flat iron I got at Walmart works better. My hair is wavy, but easy to style and this "straightner" if it worked as advertised would make my hair poker straight. IT DOES NOT! As other people commented, it just makes hair frizzy and I don't have frizzy hair at all normally! What makes me more angry is that only one side of it heats up - the other side died. And the manufacturer refuses to do anything about it. I bought it from HSN and they told me to contact the manufacturer. So never buy this product and never order from HSN. Moral of the story.

Reviewer: Michele Malave from Bryan, Texas  Wed Jul 11 2007

only lasted one year and the blue L.E.D. never stopped blinking after turned on to let me know the iron has reached the set temperature. This is really dissatifying on so much money spent on this item. What are the return policies besides the 30 day money back gauranteed?

Product Rating: 5 Happy
Reviewer: Ronda Chapman from Abilene,Texas  Wed Jul 11 2007

My Daughter Savannah was very happy when she recieved her Maxy Glide.The time we use to spend staighten her hair felt like forever! We both hated it. It took atleast 3 hours. But, now it takes us less the one hour. I really don't mind doing her hair now. Cause, I know I will be done fast.
Sincerely,
Ronda Chapman

Reviewer: Joanna from Atlanta,GA  Wed Jul 11 2007

I bought the Maxiglide hoping it would give me smooth, straight hair. Unfortunatly, this was not the case. The straightner often times smelt burnt, would rip out my hair, and would get very dirty,very fast. It is also VERY heavy and is hard to use.Neither I or my friends like this product. I do not reccomend it to anyone. =(

Product Rating: 4 straightened out my nappy hair!
Reviewer: Vanessa in Jamaica - Queens NY from Jamaica, Queens, NY  Tue Jul 10 2007

I am an African-American woman with "coarse hair". After years of torture, overpaying beauticians (who wanted tips) and spending hours if not days waiting to get: a) hair over permed b) ears singed c) ½ damaged hair cut off c) having counterfeit products utilized by so-called experts - I decided to go natural - shedding my damaged folicles and wearing wigs for 1 year. Then I saw the informercial. Took the grocery $ from the sugar daddy and bought the entire deluxe package. After a shampoo with organic root stimulator and moisurizing my scalp with olive oil hair conditioner, I used the Maxi Glid silicone product (3 drops) and put the maxi glide on my 4" long (short) hair ONCE. Voila! Straight hair! No burnt hair, no burnt ears, no waiting hours for hair technician. Entire head took 15 minutes. I'm sold.

Product Rating: 3 Losing my faith in the maxiglide
Reviewer: LaShaun from SC  Mon Jul 09 2007

About two years ago, my mother bought a maxiglide for me and I was amazed at how well it straightened my coarse hair. Not many flat irons have the power to achieve such silkiness; however, despite using the anti-frizz products that come with the kit, the humidity overcame the product and my hair poofed as normal. That specific maxiglide ended up popping in half. I recently bought another one and had it for a few months. Unfortunately, that one got "overheated" and melted one side of the iron to where it's unable to be used. So, I'm now in search of a more effective and durable flat iron..any suggestions?

Product Rating: 3 not bad not amazing either.
Reviewer: sarahhhhhh   Wed Jul 04 2007

this straightner is really good for people who dont have spiral curly hair like i do. its a really good straightner but its nto amazing. its like evry other straigtner i had except i spend 80 on this one. im gonna keep it cuz theres no point in returning it now. but i wouldve prefered to just keep my old conair straightner. it did the same job. im not saying its bad. its just no different from an ordinary 30 dollar straightner.

Product Rating: 2 At first it was good, now it's just alright!!
Reviewer: A L L from Tennessee  Mon Jul 02 2007

I bought my Maxiglide in December 2004. Granted it still works, but the paint is starting to come off the plates (but I expected that, nothing lasts forever), I had to take the combs off because all it did was pull out my hair and made my hair break about halfway down. Now when I use it my hair smells like it's burning. But it still straightens and its silky smooth and soft until I get close to the ends(and I just had my hair trimmed 2 days ago!!) Honestly my next flat iron won't be another Maxiglide!!

Product Rating: 1 Horrible!!!
Reviewer: Keyshia from Dallas, Tx  Mon Jul 02 2007

I tried using it and it looked like i went outside in hot weather and i stoped because it looked crazy. I have to look at expensive hair straightners because my hair is really curly and frizzy i would try GHD, or Chi, maybe Sudu.

Product Rating: 1 would not recommend......
Reviewer: l.m. from ny, ny  Sun Jul 01 2007

my hair is very thick, frizzy and curly (aren't i lucky? *&!$#* ). i would've put in a pic but u would need a widescreen to contain the poofiness & i don't know if ur computer can handle such distortion. ha ha. i tried the maxiglide because the infomercial, as they always do, made the product look like a miracle worker. much to my disappointment, but not surprise, the product did not keep my hair straight. it did work as it said it does--although it took more than 1 "Glide" to straighten, it did straighten my hair. only problem was after about an hour, my hair became poofy and you could see the curl breaking thru. so basically, i wasted about an hour of my time & once again got excited for nothing. another problem-the maxiglide is rather heavy which i wouldn't mind the wrist and forearm pain if it kept my hair straight. those of us wanting straight hair have been thru worse, right? bottomline--the maxiglide does straighten hair but only keeps it straight for about an hour or so. it's up to you if you want to waste ur time and $. read the reviews for the sedu instead of wasting ur time on the maxiglide. my maxiglide is now on the top of my hair straighteners junk pile. i just put in an order for the sedu based on the 3000+ great reviews with before and after pics. am looking forward to getting it and hopefully will be adding to the wonderful reviews.
