LisaSeattle, WAHairCurly HairThe Greatest Hair Straightener Ever!I LOVE this straightener! It is by far the best one I have ever used. Sure, you can find cheaper ones, but dont bother. This one gets hot enough to straighten even my super curly hair, but its steam feature will leave it smooth and healthy looking too. Ive been straightening my hair for decades, and I am so glad that I found this one. You wont be sorry!posted Jan 31, 2008Link to this post

AubreeNot As Good As It Sounds In AdsI bought the maxiglide straightener not even a year ago and already it has stopped working. I plug it in and nothing happens. While it was working I did have to go over my hair a few times before it was completely straight and my hair is pretty easy to straighten. I found that if you brushed the section of hair before you straightened it it wouldnt get caught in the combs. It left the ends of my hair dried out and broken. Also, it got heavy after a little bit. Although it did leave my hair shiny and soft, I felt like it was damaged.posted Jan 30, 2008Link to this post

AjhBostonLove The Streamthis is a high quality straightener and I love the steam function. I have coarse wavy hair and this never fails. My previous one lasted at least 3 years with regular use, but it failed when I took it internationally and had the voltage problem. I have tried the shampoo, product line but it is onlt ok and not worth buying.posted Jan 28, 2008Link to this post

BethDo Not BuyDo not buy this at all. The teeth make it very hard to pull out of your hair, the plates dont reach each other unless you press very hard on either side, it smells a million times worse than any other flat irons, rips your hair out, DOES burn you, and the water leaks out and bubbles when the button isnt pressed.Ive had mine for a couple of years and after a while the paint on the plates chip and takes much longer to heat up.posted Jan 25, 2008Link to this post

NicoleNew York, NYMy ExperienceFolica.com is a great place to shop. Customer service and shipping time is outstanding. I am very pleased with the Maxiglide that I ordered. The only minus is that the miniglide is not included but you get a free leather makeup bag along with your order.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post

VictoriaOverrated!!!!!!!!I purchased this product a little over a month ago with very hight hopes. It turns out I can not even get it to run through my hair unless I use the flatplate that comes with it. When I use the plate with the little teeth I feel like its frying my hair & I cant get it to "GLIDE" through. I have naturally straight hair & just wanted it for the extra shine, not what I expected...posted Jan 15, 2008Link to this post

LesliePortland, ORExcellent For Those That Learn How To Use It!!I am Caucasian with naturally curly and extremely thick hair. All of my daughters are mixed Caucasian and black. All of us absolutely love the Maxiglide right down to my 11 year old.I have been a Maximus Maxiglde customer since the infomercial first came out. I am nothing but pleased with this product and I recommend it to any and everyone I see and talk to. I have told people about it at work. I have told people about it on the hair isle at my local Wal-Mart. I am totally excited by this product!! I am here on the site today to order my second one (and one for my daughters so I can have mine all to myself LOL). My first one broke, but that was due to a careless teenager and no issues with the product itself. I have read many of the reviews here and realized that when I first owned this product I had run across many of the problems (i.e. hair pulling, steam burst burning, frizz when its all done) that have been described in other reviews. I can assure everyone that MOST of the problems with the Maxiglide derive from not learning to use it properly rather than product defect. I cannot stress how important it is to learn how to use the product and experiment with different methods. If the combs are pulling on your hair there are two SPECIFIC reasons for it. Your hair is not completely detangled or you are holding it closed too hard. If you completely comb out your hair and keep any un-straightened hair that you are not working on tied back so it doesnt tangle up again and dont squeeze the Maxiglide completely closed then the pulling on your hair is very minimal. Besides, the teeth are what set this product apart from those over the counter straighteners! Those are just plain old irons that are flattening your hair, not truly straightening it. With the burning issue, the ONLY way it burns you is if you do the steam burst while it is right next to your head. I have done it and it HURTS! The instructional video is very clear about having it 1-2 inches away from your head before releasing the steam. I use it sometimes with my hair only partially dry. I make sure to completely dry the roots, however, to avoid this burn issue as well. If used properly the burns will only happen if you accidentally put your fingers where they donât belong.The steam is also very important in helping with the frizz (which seems weird). I have tried using it without the steam and thats when I experience the frizz issues. The frizz issue will also happen if you dont make sure to steam all the way through to the end of each stroke. One other thing that can cause the frizz is doing too much hair at one time. You need to do small sections of hair. Larger ones will give you exactly that---frizz. The last trick is holding the Maxiglide at the end of each section for at least a few seconds. If you donât, then I guarantee frizz will result.I am sure there are some that will have an issue with what I have stated, but it is not fair to down a product for issues that very well may be human error. Try it! Experiment with it! Enjoy it!posted Jan 13, 2008Link to this post
