I had previously purchased this product on television. However, after much use and a few years later, I needed to buy another one. I looked everywhere for this hair straightener. Finally I found it on Folica.com. The price, the service, and the experience was GREAT!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Folica in the future! Thanks!
HORRIBLE! I ALMOST DIED!!!

Well, Once I Got The Maxiglide, I Was Pshyced! I Just It Once I Go It. It Have Me Good Results But Not The Kind I Really Wanted. I Kept It In Perfect Condition. But Only A Few Months Later, It Took 25 Minutes To Heat Up And A Month Later The Top Of The Maxiglide Didn't Heat Up THEN Once I Pressed The Blue Button On THe Top, Water Would Soak Out From The Straightener And Onto My Skin. And It Was VERY HOT WATER! And I Never Clamped It Shut, I Let It " Glide " Through My Hair But It Would Still Rip Out My Hair! Ouch!! And I Would Have To Clean It Alot Because Dirt Would Build Up Into Those Little Pin Things.
I RECOMMEND NOT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT. I DON'T EVEN HAVE COURSE CURLY HAIR. I HAE NORMAL WAVY HAIR AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK! DON'T BUY IT IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!
I RECOMMEND THE <b>Sedu</b>!!! BUY THAT ONE! :]
MAXIGLIDE IS HORRIBLE!!! :[[
BUY THE <b>Sedu</b>!!!!!!!!!
BIG WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!

This straightener does not work at all! I was psyched when I first bought it. But after using it only once, I noticed that it does not straighten hair very well and it leaves the ends frizzy. Not to mention, it leaves your hair smelling burnt. It's heavy and VERY hard to use. It looks so easy on the infomercial, but its not. I hate this product and I recommend that you do not buy it. I have since bought CHI and it does wonders on my hair.

I was not impressed with Maxiglide. I have long, thick, wavy hair. It took me over twice as long to straighten my hair with Maxiglide and the result was semi-straight and frizzy-- definately not smooth or silky. The Ceramic Wigo straightening iron and the Hai straightening iron both worked MUCH better on my hair type and in half the time (Plus, the Wigo and Hai are not as expensive). I was definately disappointed in the results of the Maxiglide.
First good then stopped working

I liked Maxiglide at the biggining although it was not east to use than I expected. Kinda too heavy and your sculp would get burned so easily unlike its commercial. Anyway, it suddenly broke. I don't know what happened to it. So now I decided to try Sedu instead of buying another Maxiglide to see how it works.
This thing is GREAT!!

Nothing straightens my hair like the Maxiglide! I like to wash my hair the night before and let it dry naturally. My wavy wild out of control hair is no problem for the Maxiglide. In less than 15 minutes I look like I spent 45 minutes in a salon getting a blowout! Seriously. I have bought several flat irons, products, etc. Nothing works like the combination of steam and those little pins! Thanks Maxiglide!
worst straightener ever

I used my friends and it was horrible.It didn't straighten my hair at all.I don't even have curly hair it's just wavy and still it didn't straighten.So my oppinion is that you should waste your money on it.Also if you have hair like mine Vidal Sassoon gold series straighteners work very well.And not to mention they're cheap!

Upon my husband's request, I ordered Maxiglide about 1 year ago. When I go to the hair dresser and she straightens my hair with a ceramic straightener, it always looks great! However, when I try to achieve that same look at home, I fail. What I saw on HSN was exactly what I experienced in my bathroom! It's easy to use, gentle on my hair [my hairdresser tells me what strong, healthy hair I have] but most of all, it straightens my hair, removing the heavy wave I have, to make it totally straight. Thanks so much for an absolutely awesome product that I can actually use myself!
Great but stops working after 3 months

We are getting ready to return our second maxiglide that stopped working after only 3 months. The first one lasted 6 months. The iron is great but it is very irritating that it burns out so quickly!! Get design but they need a better manufacturer!!! We are now getting ready to switch brands and save all the headaches that this has caused!
Ohh my god-this straightener is from heaven

I actually stole this flat iron from my little sister, after using it for the first time. I have very dry and wire like hair, so nothing could get my hair to look great after 2 hours in the Florida weather. But this iron worked wonders for me. I use to get up at about 4:30 in the morning to straighten my hair, now it only takes me 45 mins compared to 2 1/5 hours. Yes, it is a little poorly made and it went out on me after about 6 months but every iron is going to go out on you eventually.
I am a national title holder and I love this flat iron. I take it with me everywhere I go and I don't think I could ever use another.

Many probably are pursuaded to buy this item because of those infomercials on TV that just look so convincing but don't waist your time on it. The Maxiglide is a huge heavy clunky item that tugs at your hair. I bought my set from the maxiglide site and it was horrible. The maxiglide I got looked used and parts of it were burned. The miniglide is useless, it doesn't get hot enough to do anything. I had to return everything for a refund. A brush and regular hair straitener might just be better.
Works great

I have fine blonde hair and live in Colorado, so my hair gets very dry. I like the Maxiglide because the teeth help straighten my hair. I do not have to turn the hot iron on as high as others I've used and I only have to go over each section once, which means less heat damage for my hair. The steam option is nice for the areas of my hair that are particularly dry.
Do Not Buy It

I had received a maxiglide for christmas in 2005. At first, it worked great. But in about 4 months I noticed it gradually took longer to heat up and I wasn't getting great results. It took me 5 hours for it to finish heating up yesterday. I have bought a chi and it has worked wonderful for me. In my opinion I would suggest you not to waste your money on this I beleive there are better ones.
Excellent at straightening hair but cheeply made

The maxi glide is a great straightener.It saves time and makes my hair look perfect! Then after about 9 months the temperature setting spinner broke, it would not heat up all the way anymore, and the steam burst button would not work properly! Now I'm exchanging it for a new one because I'm still am happy with how it works for the limited time.
Try an alternative

I recieved this flat iron as a Christmas gift in 2005 in replace of my Hot Tools Ceramic which completely damaged my hair in the first place. My friend had it and it always made her hair look beautiful. When i began to use it I saw great results of my very straight hair. As time went on, i began to see the flaws in the product. Like most flat irons, this damaged my hair a lot because the steam is harmful to your hair; it is like straightening it wet which is a big no no in hair. Everyday someone would come up to me asking me, "Did you get a haircut? Youre hair looks shorter." When i hadn't gotten one, I began to wonder... is this thing shrinking my hair? I am still unsure if that was the cause. I got a haircut as I do about every 6 weeks and most of the damage is gone although some remains. If you are going to use this product, use the flat plate instead of the one that supposidly "brushes" the hair. I found that it ripped out my hair and almost oxidized it.Overall, I think that you should try an alternative product, although my friend uses it everyday, as do I, and her hair is beautiful and healthy.
love it... the only problem is..

I disagree with Bettie from Alabama who wrote that the company misrepresented its ability "to straighten black hair by featuring black models who have non-black textured hair." There is no such thing as non-black textured hair on black people. Millions of blacks (and black Africans) have hair that ranges in texture from nappy to loosely curled. Kinky is not the only texture to black hair and never has been, and this product works for all of them.

I bought a Maxiglide for $80 after watching a very convincing infomercial. I have had several flat irons and, at first, the Maxiglide worked wonderfully. It straightened my hair exactly as it should. In just a few months it was taking longer and longer to heat up and working less and less. The temperature was very unstable - sometimes it wasn't hot enough and one time it actually burned some of my hair off and I never changed the temperature setting. It was very unpredictible. After a year it completely stopped heating up. I used it from 2-4 times weekly. I recently bought a Sedu for $120 and so far, I recommend it over the Maxiglide. It's faster and doesn't leave my hair with a burnt smell.

I love my maxiglide. I bought the package (including the miniglide, the end, & beyond straight) from maxxius for $120 and it's worth every penny. The thing that makes it different from other straightners is that it makes wonderful flips on the tips of your hair;very stylish. Also, unlike other straightners, you can get it kind of close to the roots and not worry that it'll burn your scalp, because it's protected from heat on the outside; SORT OF. Overall, wonderful product.
