I love my Maxiglide! of course I didn't believe it when i seen it on tv. I think it's all lies just to get you to buy the products. I'm glad I believed in this one! It cut my straightening time in half and the results are much better than a regular straightener. On my regular straightener I used to use the highest heat setting, on Maxiglide I use setting 5. I hate my curly hair, Maxiglide makes me much happier with my hair.
could be better

It worked wonderful for my hair but it is falling apart. The ceramic is falling off and sometimes it doesnt want to work. I want another one that doesnt fall apart.
Best straightener I have used

I have the kinkiest, curliest hair and the Maxiglide straightens it without any trouble. I have tried alot of things in the past and this is the first product that did not fry my hair.

I just got the Maxiglide a few days ago as a gift and I must say I was reluctant to use it because of how big it was. I realized that eventually I would have to use it or send it back, so instead I washed my hair with a very good salon brand shampoo and conditioner, air dryed it and waited for the next day to let the natural oils through note:( my hair is less dry when I wait a day) and sectioned my hair in 4 parts....after that it was very easy to menuver atleast for me it was. My hair is long(midback)and ,super curly so usually a good ceramic iron would take me about 45 mins-1 hr. getting every last crimp out but with this maxiglide it only took me 24-30mins crimps and all gone. My hair feels very silky,smooth.
Cons:
*The plate with the pins tends to cling and pull my hair brushed or combed it doesn't matter I guess that plate wasn't for my type of hair, but the flat plate worked very well for my hair it ironed out my hair very straight.
*The blue light indicator is very blinding
*The framing of the iron is some what bulky but It still did a job well done.
Pros:
*Easy to use,
*Options of two ironing plates instead of 1 which is good on my part because if it didn't have that option I would have hauled that thing off days ago those pins tend to hurt.
*The steam burst effect works nicely I used it for my flair areas and it eliminated them also making my hair soft and shiny.
*It doesn't smell/smoke/fry/like other irons do.
Love it!

Like everything it is not perfect. I use it once a week. I have not been back to my hairdresser on a regular basis since I brought the MaxiGlide. It does burn--unless I am doing something wrong. You must make sure you comb through your hair before using the iron or it will get stuck or pull. I just read the tip about not pressing down on the iron--something I can't help doing because of the texture. I have told people I meet on the street and everyone I know. I do love it.

My neices begged me to get them a Maxi Glide for Christmas.
They almost exploded to see them under the Christmas Tree.
They have very long curly hair, and thanks to Maxi glide they now have straight managable hair. I had to give everyone the information so they could order themselves
a maxi glide.
I **love** my Maxi Glide!!!

I have frizzy (not even cute curly, just plain ole frizzy icky) hair. I was using regular flat irons and my hair was bone dry at the ends and unhealthy looking. I got a layered haircut and decided to try the Maxi Glide and I *LOVE* it. I never go anywhere without it. My friends all have commented on how great my hair looks lately.
The reason I didn't give it a 5: It *is* a little bulky to use (once you get used to it, it doesn't even bother you, though) and it DOES burn if you're not careful. The Steam button is a little too high, it needs to be a scoche nearer to the thumb.
All in all, though, with a little redesigning, this flatiron could be perfect. Buy it now, dont expect miracles, and you WILL not be disappointed. I consider this one of the best purchases I ever made. :)
Amazing

This straightener is the best I've ever used. Besides the plate that has the pins on it because it tends to rip out my hair, but the other plate works great. Its fast and very convienient. I love it! It works great even with out the steam, and I only use it on half the power. I've only had it for a few months but so far I would recommend it to anyone.
Overrated

I am an african american female with really thick natural curly hair. I bought the maxiglide because I saw the infomercial about it. I should have saved my money because the maxiglide is overrated. it made my hair soft and it looks good for about an hour before the humidity kills it...then it just looks dried out and frizzy. It works no better than a cheaper straightener
recommend for women of color with corse hair

I bought maxi glide in Dec 05' and I love it!!! I have medium length, very curly, corse hair and I really didn't want to spend too much on the Sedu so my sister (who is a hair stylist and used to flat iron my hair professionally before I moved far away) suggested I that I get the Maxi first and try it and if I didn't like it, return it and get the Sedu. I did the basic wash, condition and blow dry then I took each section piece by piece I could NOT believe how straight my hair was!!! If you have thick, corse hair this is the best being that it's as if there is a hot comb/flat iron mixed in one! It takes EVERY strand and gets it BONE straight!!! I wrapped it and the next day at work people kept asking me, "wow you got your hair done!" being that I ALWAYS wear my hair in it's natural state in a ponytail and I answered, "no, i did it myself!" all I got in return were GASPS!!! and OH MY god!!!!!!! NO KIDDING!!!!!! it was straight, soft and beautiful...

This product does exactly as it states. It leaves hair very straight, shiny and soft. It is user-friendly. I love the way my hair feels after I have used the unusual feature of steam. The combination of steam and heat leaves my hair in better condition than before I straightened it. The video was a very conveinent tool, it was to the point and easy to follow.
Love it

I absolutely love this iron. The only thing is that I have very long curly hair, so it takes a longer than 10 or 15 minutes to straighten. I love to use it on my daughters. Leaves hair nice and silky and last for days. It's also nice to apply a little friz-ease to the hair before you straighten it. Leaves it more shiny. Definitely brush your hair with the the maxi hair brush. Help the hair go through. If you have split ends, do yourself a favor and get them trimmed. You will have better results.
This was the worst $100 I ever spent

I love the Maxiglide straightener. I have never sent in a review for anything, but I think this product is amazing and I am surprised more people don't know about it. I was going to cut my hair very short after bleaching it several times because of the condition it was in. Thanks to Maxiglide my hair is soft, shiny, and still long. I have never been this satisfied with any product. I couldn't live without it.
Fabulous results

This product is the best!! We've tried many straighteners but had no success. They never really heated or produced the desired results until maxiglide. I'd recommend it to everyone. Thanks

Maxiglide is awesome. I've been using it for several months now and it works wonders. My hair dresser asked me to bring it along next time I get my hair cut since I told her about it. I can't wait to share.
