I bought this and although my hair went from curly to almost straight and it was shiny, this flat iron really poofed my hair it looked horrble everytime. I had to blow dry, flatten, then wrap my hair to get it straight. I have naturally curly hair. Would not buy it. I just ordered a sedu so i will see how it works

Reviewer: J T Moyer from Greensboro, NC 27406  Sun Mar 09 2008

My son seen the advertisment on tv late one night two years ago and purchased it for me...The maxiglide has been such a blessing, it works wonders for my hair which is very long and very thick. My only complaint is that the cord had gotten extremely twisted. Somehow the top part of the base has broken in half so now I'm looking to purchase another one, I knew I should have had a backup one.I would refer the maxiglide to anyone. It Is Great!!!! 

Product Rating: 4 Excellent but bulky.
Reviewer: loveiskey from Oakley, CA  Sun Mar 09 2008

I actually love the maxi glide. I have type 4c hair. Very thick, kinky, course and long. I've had the maxi glide for about 2 years now. I just started using the flat iron and I've found that it works better than the one with the teeth. VERY IMPORTANT: My hair gets extremely straight if I use a little bit of The End product and the Beyond straight together while my hair is wet. DON'T USE TOO MUCH THOUGH, just a dime size is enough of both products. Then I blow dry my hair, then flat iron. I can not use the steam feature AT ALL. I've tried it, never again. My hair is too course and kinky. When I'm finished straighting my hair I rub 1 drop of THE END product in the palm of my hands and put all over your hair. Then style.

Product Rating: 1 I would not buy it
Reviewer: n   Thu Mar 06 2008

If you are just looking for a touch up and have perfect hair then go for it. If you have curly hair this will not help it does technically straighten my hair but it poofs it out so it looks like a big A. It sucks basically now I have to end up buying some other flat iron. save yourself the hassle. It also pulls ALOT of hair out.

Product Rating: 4 Best ever
Reviewer: chelsea from ohio  Sun Mar 02 2008

I bought this straightener in july. AND IT IS THE BEST ONE I HAVE EVER USED IT NEVER LETS ME DOWN AND I USE IT A LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK. So i would get this one it is a keeper

Product Rating: 4 Finally!
Reviewer: Lyndsey from Kansas  Sat Feb 23 2008

At first I didn't believe the Maxiglide would work but my mom bought it for me last christmas cause she knew I was struggling with my hair. It's very coarse and other straighteners were leaving my hair dry and damaged which caused it to break at the ends but this one actually worked. my hair is soft and straight from the root to end. My only complaint is that it breaks to easy. Mine broke about a week ago and all I did was take the plate off to clean it and it just snapped in half, no idea why either but I still think its worth getting another one.

Product Rating: 4 Love It
Reviewer: Tammy from Burleson, TX 76028  Thu Feb 21 2008

I got a maxiglide for christmas,and I love it. It works just like promised, but you have to follow the instructions and use it correctly. You can not use it like a straight iorn or you will pull your hair out. A little gentle pressure is all it takes, do not squeeze it tightly shut.

Product Rating: 2 BAD
Reviewer: Dara Smithe from Livingston, New Jersey  Tue Feb 19 2008

This straightener is made for people with a tiny little curl or basically straight hair. If you actually have curly hair, DO NOT USE THIS!!! It makes your hair reallllllly crispy and crunchy...if i rub my hair together, i could hear it CRUNCH!!!! After the first month, the plates MELTED INTO MY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought a chi instead, and it works alot better. This is a low class, cheapo, good for nothing straightener. Don't waste your money.

Product Rating: 5 LOVE IT ~ lost mine at a resort ~ came home bought another one
Reviewer: untamed locks from Toledo, OH  Sun Feb 17 2008

I love my maxiglide so much! I seen it on tv late night on a shopping channel and was like yeah right. I already owned two other flat irons I bought a local beauty store that is nation wide. I have wavy hair and it makes it straight as a board. my daughter has extreamly curly shirley temple curles and it works great on both of us - my sister has even tried to take it. we went from Diana Ross hair to Lucy Li hair thanks for making such a great product. Just make sure to use distilled water in it. I was absolutly rough on it use it at least 5 days a week on three people and have had it for over a year. had to replace because I was a resort and was rushing to catch my flight - it was hot still and left it on the bathroom counter on accident I MISS IT SO MUCH - I went to a salon to buy one they only had the chi and wanted $200 and $47 for them to flatiron my hair one time. cant wait for it to come fedex.

Reviewer: Sally from Boston  Sun Feb 17 2008

I bought the maxiglide in october it is now febuary. I an very happy with it. It is one they my best investments ever!!! I can straighten my hair at night and wake up in the moring and go no touch up nessary. Also with my old straightener it would take about 5o minutes now it is a quick 20 minutes. The problems i have with it is it needs to be cleaned alot! Almost every time i use it. Some changes i have noticed with my hair is my hair is even more fizzy befor i strighten it than i was befor i bought the maxiglide. Also i was nevous about buying such an expensive striaghtener so i went to bed bath and beyond and used a 20% cupon to buy it. I did go for those value packs that came with beyond and the end products. Now I know why they are sold together. With out those products protecting your ends you will get horrible spilt ends like me. I always put heat protceting spray on my hair befor i do anything ot it but my ends still get ruined.All in all the maxi glide is a very good hair straightener but BUY THOSE VALUE PACTS!!!!!!!

Product Rating: 3 It has been two years...and it is still kicking
Reviewer: Lisa from Erie, PA  Sat Feb 16 2008

My Maxiglide is still working after two years. The shine on the plates has worn off. It also takes longer to heat up then when I first got it in the mail. It also is a pain to clean. However, I think the steam is better for your hair than other flat irons. I owned a Chi and had awful split ends. With the Maxiglide, my hairdresser tells me how healthy my hair is. Before I straighten, I use Get it Pressed flat iron spray by Regis Design Line. I highly recommend it! It smells great and works wonders.

Product Rating: 5 Love It
Reviewer: Steaky from Colorado  Sat Feb 16 2008

I have had no problems with this product. I love how it makes my hair smooth when finished. I never thought I would find something that worked on my hair.

Went to my hair stylist last week and found out that she has the same one and has been using it the entire time I have been seeing her. Now I can have hair just like when I leave the stylist. Yippy!

Product Rating: 5 Worked really great!
Reviewer: Nicole Rambone from Bloomfield, NJ  Tue Feb 12 2008

I just purchased the Maxi-glide for me and my hair is wavy and color treated and for my daughter who has african american & white hair combined. So her hair is very curly and can get frizzy. She always is begging me to straighten her hair but I worry about chemicals and what hairdressers would do. I will have mine straightened for 2 hours and no less than 120 dollars. So i purchased this and it straightened my hair in 20 minutes and my 11 year old daughters long curly hair in 30 minutes. I added THE END product that came with it and her is beautiful. When I tell you her hair is curly I mean it, she has ringlets. I was skeptical also but not anymore. I will never spend that much money for myself on straigtening again. As for my daughter she is hooked and she loves the results. The iron is easy to use and no hassle at all, at least to me.

Product Rating: 5 Everything they promise and more
Reviewer: Betty from New York City  Mon Feb 11 2008

I have super curly frizzy hair which is waist length. It usually takes me about 3 hours to blow my hair straight and then it's never quite right. The Maxiglide is a miracle. I achieved better results in just 15 minutes! It was recommended by a friend who shocked me when I saw her with her hair natural. The Maxiglide does such an amazing job I assumed her hair was straight. You must, however, follow the directions very carefully if you want the best results. But I can honestly say that any product that works on my kinky hair will work on just about anyone else. Forego 3 salon blowouts (average NYC price of $30) and you've more than made up the price of the Maxiglide.

Product Rating: 1 The worst ever
Reviewer: cruz   Mon Feb 11 2008

the worst straightener I have ever bought, don't buy it, waste of money and of your time since you will be sending it back. It pulls your hair and damages it.

Product Rating: 2 the first 3 months was great... but...
Reviewer: Jessica from LA  Sat Feb 09 2008

first i was so happy cuz it does work pretty well than my other expensive ones

then it started to take forever to heat up

and take more times to straighten the same area of hair to get it straighten

i don't use the flat plate really, but when i put it on, it slides off during straightening my hair and that was very scary, good thing i didn't get burned. so i returned it

Product Rating: 1 Hate it!
Reviewer: Nikki from ma  Sat Feb 09 2008

When i fist got it i thought it would work great.... but it didn't. My friend had the same one and it worked great for her. But we have diffrent hair types, so it stunk for me.It worked alright at first, but it left my hair frizzey and greasy. It never made me go wow! AS i said it depends on you hair type. After a few months it got so much worse. It takes about 10 minutes to heat up. ( it used to take about 5) it dosent stay hot and leaves your hair looking like crap! it is also huge to try to straighten your hair. O yea and that steam buts leaves your hair fizzey! DON'T BUY IT! DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY!

Product Rating: 1 DOES NOT WORK AS GOOD
Reviewer: VICTORIA SILVA from SAN ANOTINO  Sat Feb 09 2008

MY HAIRR DOES NOT STAY STRAIGHT IT STILL LOOKS PUFFY I GETS WAVY WHEN ITIS HUMID MY HAIR FEELS DRY I SAY THE CHI WORKS BETTER THAN THIS I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA WORK WAY BETTER BUT I GUSSED WRONG I AM NEVER GONNA BUY NOTHING FROM THIS GUY MAX ANYMORE HUN GET SOMETHING THAT REALLY WORK OKAY

Product Rating: 1 It Lasted Less Than Six Months
Reviewer: Stephanie from Bloomington, IN  Fri Feb 08 2008

After less than 6 months of owning the maxiglide, I plugged it in one morning and nothing happened. I know most people are thinking that I probably didn't take care of it, but I actually took very good care of it. I only used this iron about once a week. My straightener that I purchased for $25, from Target, has lasted longer than this one. I would not waste your money on this and I would purchase one with better quality.
