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...
Awful.

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.
i love my maxiglide!!!

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
WORST!!!!

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.
worth purchasing!

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.
I was utterly duped!

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.
THIS THING SUCKS!

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.
This is awesome!

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!
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.
Best Straightening Iron out there!

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!

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.
Very sad....

I was just in love with my mine when I got it and even told everyone about it. But just this morning when I went to use it I notice it was taking a really long time to heat, It never heated up. I have had it for 11 months and used it daily. I am very disapointed cause it was a huge part of my morning routine. Now what....??? I was on here trying to see if there was a warrenty or something... highly dought it though.
OMG WORST PRODUCT EVER!!!! PLZ READ!!!

When I Saw Maxiglide On T.V, I Just Had To Have One! It Looked Like It Worked So Good. My Hair Is Even That Difficult. It's Just Somewhat Thick Wavy Hair. Once I Got The Maxiglide, It Worked Great... Until It Started Pulling Out My Hair. Ouch!
And After Just One Month, The Top Of The Maxiglide Stopped Heating Up! Then One Month Later, I Couldn't Turn It Off! And Then ANOTHER Month Later, When I Pressed The Blue Button, Instead Of Steam Coming Out, Hot Streaming Water Poured Out Of The Maxiglide And Right Onto My Skin! OUCH!!
Every Month It Seemed To Get Suckier!! So I Just Threw That Piece Of Junk Away!!
SERIOUSLY, THE PEOPLE ON HERE THAT SAID IT WAS A GOOD PRODUCT, THE JUST GOT THE MAXIGLIDE! BECAUSE VERY VERY SOON, IT WILL BREAK!
Don't Buy! It's A Total Waste Of Your Hard Earned Money!
I RECOMMEND THE SEDU FLAT IRON EVERYONE!! THAT'S THE BEST!
It didn't work...

My mom bought me the Maxiglide becuase we saw it so many times on tv and we really thought that it would work. The ceramic pins on it and everything made sense but when I tried to straighten my hair, it pulled hair out and I had to keep brushing my hair so that it wouldn't keep getting tangled. It was also fairly heavy- my arms would get tired really fast and I would just give up and use my old flat iron. The "steamburst technology" that they rant and rave about was no better. It didn't work at all in helping to promote shininess or eliminate frizz. I don't recommend it at all. My Conair straightener that I had at the time worked 100 times better- and I'm really not kidding. In the end, I ended up returning it.
Mine died as well

I bought this hair straightner after I had used my friend's maxiglide. I decided to buy my own, so I did in July of 2005. It worked fine, nothing to wow me though.. took the frizz out, but it did not flatten. (even though i wasnt looking for flattening). It does give a lot of shape to your hair, especially because it has the little brush inserted in it. however you have to use anti-frizz after so the the hair lays down smooth. Anyways, the hair straightener stopped heating up by April or May of 2006.. hence it did not even last a year. i've had cheaper hair straightners lasting me for way longer than that!!!
Not worth it!

I have really thick, wavy hair and was tired of using my old straightener that took me about 2 hours to get it straightened! I'd seen the Maxi Glide on TV so many times and always thought "I will get it one day" cuz it just seemed so amazing. Well that one day came and it was far less than amazing! It left my hair totally frizzy and didn't even straighten it as well as my old one did. I definitely don't recommend this product to anyone. I'm actually thinking of trying that Solia straightener, maybe it'll help cut my time down!
