Product Rating: 2 it worked for a while...
Reviewer: caiti   Wed Jul 26 2006

well i got this maxiglide about a 8 mths ago and it just ... died. it didnt work well before either- it made my hair extremely frizzy and dry. it worked enough so that people could tell it was straight- but my hair is so curly and frizzy that people really notice when my hair is not in a crappy bun. but when i got it straightened w/ a sedu straightener- it was DEAD straight. i was soooooooooo happy that day!i do not reccomend this straightener- seeing it does not last long,work well enough, its bad for ur hair, and its too much$ for a straightener that barelly works! try the sedu! :)

Product Rating: 1 Extreme Waste of Money
Reviewer: Anne from Long Island  Wed Jul 26 2006

At first, I thought it was a pretty good straightner, but after about a couple months or less it broke down and it would not heat up! i was wicked upset so I went back online to look for a new one, because I would not waste my money on another maxiglide. So, I saw that sedu was best rated- and I am so happy with my purchase!! I've had sedu for several months now and it is the best straightner I have ever used in my life! It doesnt tug or pull at the hair like maxiglide does, it just glides through and with one stroke your hair is perfectly straight and beautiful, so I just wanted to tell all of you out there that maxiglide is not worth your money and it will dissapoint you so go with sedu, it will totally satisfy you :) Hope this helped a lot.

Product Rating: 1 just died!!
Reviewer: chryl from mass  Wed Jul 26 2006

I bought this system just 6 months ago. at first it didnt work at all, not hot, no steam, just causing more frizz. then it seemed ok but had to go over each section several times not the 2 it claims. now it just stopped working. light just flashes, no heat no steam nothing. not worth the money at all.

Product Rating: 5 Thank God for this product!
Reviewer: Dafne from Kissimmee, FL  Tue Jul 25 2006

I absolutely love my Maxiglide. I am puertorican/dominican, my hair is very curly. This product works wonders with my hair. Its the only product that straithens my hair without the need to blowdry first. I just let my hair air dry and then use the maxi glide. The hair looks shiny and naturally straight! I live in Florida and even though its always humid out my hair stays perfect. I reccommend it 100%. In fact, I bought one for my niece and she loves me for it! :O)

Product Rating: 2 Great iron, but doesn't last long
Reviewer: michelle from Florida  Tue Jul 25 2006

I love how the maxiglide straightened my hair, but after only a couple months of use (i only use 2-3 times a week, and purchased at the end of April this year), my Maxiglide melted from the inside.

Product Rating: 4 Good customer service
Reviewer: Jamie from St. Petersburg, FL  Tue Jul 25 2006

I ordered a maxiglide from folica and after 3 weeks it broke. i was so upset, and called the customer service line to figure out what my options were to return it.. i didnt have the original invoice any more. They gave me a reference number, and told me how long i had to send it back for a refund or replacement. I sent it back to them and within a week had my new one.

Product Rating: 3 Just o.k.
Reviewer: Nicole from Orlando, FL  Tue Jul 25 2006

I was not super impressed with this staightener. I bought this to replace my Chi that finally died on me after 6 years! I think I will go buy another Chi...

Product Rating: 1 Awful.
Reviewer: Jessica from Nevada  Tue Jul 25 2006

My dad ordered this for me as a present, because I was really miserable about how wavy my hair was. I really expected this to solve all my problems with my hair, and last forever.

It didn't. I used it for five months. It did make my hair straight, but it made it look like straw and made it frizz really badly. It also pulled out massive amounts of my hair, which I suffered through because it was all I could do at the time. Then, after roughly six months of owning it, one side would no longer become hot and the thing was practically useless. I regret ever having seen the ad and do not suggest using this straightener.

Product Rating: 5 i love my maxiglide!!!
Reviewer: Simone from chicago, IL  Sun Jul 23 2006

this product took awhile to grow on me but now i love it! i've had mine since march 2005 and have never had any problems with it heating up and such. it works just like it has the day i bought it. at first i didnt like it because it ripped my hair out, so i only used the flat plate. i got good results with the flat plate, but nothing spectacular. after giving the plate with the pins another try, the results exceeded my expectations. i no longer have to blow dry my hair before flat-ironing. by the way, i have long, african american textured hair and i don't go to salons. i think the trick to this iron is in the technique and how well the hair is detangled

Product Rating: 1 WORST!!!!
Reviewer: Tina from NY  Sat Jul 22 2006

I was really stund on how the maxi glide worked, so i thought I would buy one for myself. I tried it for the first time and it was GREAT! but then after about one week, it didn't heat up and it's USELESS!!! I RLLY HATE THIS PRODUCT AND FEEL BAD FOR THOSE OF U WHO HAVE WASTED YOUR MONEY!!

Product Rating: 5 Product lives up to its promise
Reviewer: R.A. from Biglerville, Pennsylvania  Fri Jul 21 2006

I don't need excessive amounts of hair lotions to keep my hair smooth and shiny any more. This product lives up to its promise.

Product Rating: 5 worth purchasing!
Reviewer: carmen from new york, brooklyn  Fri Jul 21 2006

this machine gives me flat hair in less than 20 mins...easy to use and quick to heat.

Product Rating: 1 MaximusHair Glide
Reviewer: Sharon   Fri Jul 21 2006

The combs get stuck in my hair and when I am done my hair looks awful. It looks dry and frizzy.

When I use my other straight iron, it takes a little time but when I am done my hair is smooth and silky.

Do not like this product and will not recommend it.

Product Rating: 1 I was utterly duped!
Reviewer: anonymous from texas  Thu Jul 20 2006

After viewing the commerical several times, I was sure this straightner was going to solve all my problems...but i was duped.
Ok, here's the picture.When I first used the striaghtner a couple of days ago I was very much impressed by the results of the first piece of hair I did, but thats when the trouble came. The straightner seemed to be overheating and the plates were litterly melting, so my and I were all like...well this straightner works, but it is too dangerous and difficult to work. I would rather have a straightner that just has one button...(the on and off button).
So my mom and I tried again to straighten my hair this time with a lower temp., but my hair just got damaged and I lost a lot of hair, becuase it pulled my hair at the bottem even after combing my hair free of tangles. I was very much dissapointed.

Product Rating: 1 THIS THING SUCKS!
Reviewer: Ashley from Tennessee  Wed Jul 19 2006

This "sraightner" is B.S!I got mine about two months ago thinking it was going to do as well as it did for the other girls on t.v,but i was soooo wrong.It ripped my hair out and just made my hair more worse than it was, I regret the day I ever bought this, it was a waste of money.I do not recommend this to anyone.

Product Rating: 5 This is awesome!
Reviewer: Wendy from Denver, Co.  Wed Jul 19 2006

I used to blow dry with a metal round brush and curl with a large curling iron. After about 1 hour my hair was still a bit frizzy. Now I can let my hair dry on its own, and using the Maxiglide gets my hair perfect. I go easy on the very ends and use my curling iron to curl the very ends under. This has cut the time I need to do my hair to 20 min. I love it!

Product Rating: 4 Straight and happy!

I am very happy with the maxi glide, I am already saving tons of money by doing it myself, it was more than worth the investment. Thanks! Striaght hair is my best friend again.

Product Rating: 5 Best Straightening Iron out there!
Reviewer: Lisa from Lakewood, CO  Mon Jul 17 2006

I had never seen or heard of this iron until a friend told me about it. She let me borrow it. I HAD to have one! I have naturally curly hair and have always struggled with "normal" irons. This iron is the best! I know, while I borrow this iron I fell in love with it and when I gave it back I had to buy one within that same week. If you are thinking that this is just another iron---it is NOT, it is in a league by itself! Awesome product that does what it says!

Product Rating: 2 maxi glide
Reviewer: Lola from Gig Harbor, Washington  Mon Jul 17 2006

i didn't like it---the iron is bulky and rips your hair out---i have returned it for a refund------

Product Rating: 2 Not impressed
Reviewer: Betsy from ohio  Sun Jul 16 2006

I bought the maxiglide after my hairdresser recommended it. I am not impressed with it. I have thick, wavy hair and the combs pull so hard that i can't get it through to the ends of my hair. I can use the flat plate but already had one of those. Just not up to my expectations.
