At First It Was Good, Now It's Just Alright!!I bought my Maxiglide in December 2004. Granted it still works, but the paint is starting to come off the plates (but I expected that, nothing lasts forever), I had to take the combs off because all it did was pull out my hair and made my hair break about halfway down. Now when I use it my hair smells like its burning. But it still straightens and its silky smooth and soft until I get close to the ends(and I just had my hair trimmed 2 days ago!!) Honestly my next flat iron wont be another Maxiglide!!posted Jul 2, 2007Link to this post -

Would Not Recommend......my hair is very thick, frizzy and curly (arent i lucky? *&!$#* ). i wouldve put in a pic but u would need a widescreen to contain the poofiness & i dont know if ur computer can handle such distortion. ha ha. i tried the maxiglide because the infomercial, as they always do, made the product look like a miracle worker. much to my disappointment, but not surprise, the product did not keep my hair straight. it did work as it said it does--although it took more than 1 "Glide" to straighten, it did straighten my hair. only problem was after about an hour, my hair became poofy and you could see the curl breaking thru. so basically, i wasted about an hour of my time & once again got excited for nothing. another problem-the maxiglide is rather heavy which i wouldnt mind the wrist and forearm pain if it kept my hair straight. those of us wanting straight hair have been thru worse, right? bottomline--the maxiglide does straighten hair but only keeps it straight for about an hour or so. its up to you if you want to waste ur time and $. read the reviews for the sedu instead of wasting ur time on the maxiglide. my maxiglide is now on the top of my hair straighteners junk pile. i just put in an order for the sedu based on the 3000+ great reviews with before and after pics. am looking forward to getting it and hopefully will be adding to the wonderful reviews.posted Jul 1, 2007Link to this post -

Tried For The First Time...love It!I am an African American woman and a year and a half ago, decided to go to the barber and cut all of my hair out. Since then, it has been natural. I have tried pressing combs, flat irons and blow driers to straighten my hair when I want a different look (I love my Afro most of the time). All of them do "okay" but the hair close to the roots is always puffy and the slightest bit of moisture makes it curl back up. I visited a friend this week who told me about her maxiglide. Her kids are bi-racial and have the funkiest hair but she SWEARS by the product, so I let her try it on mine. WOW!! When I came in to work the next day, people asked was I wearing a wig or if I had permed my hair! The roots are super straight, she only added a little oil sheen when she used it and I am THRILLED with the results! Yes, some of my hair came out on the combs but this was because I am in dire need of a trim and I did not comb or brush the curls/ tangles out before we used the maxiglide. I am buying my own and have already recommended it to others!posted Jun 26, 2007Link to this post -

GreatMy mom bought the maxiglade about two yers ago, and as much as i read reveiws about it dieing after a few months, ours still works perfectly. Plates have not melted and havent burned out. But then again, we only use it once or twice a month... and always on the lowest heat setting.It does pull out some of my hair, but not much more then when i brush it or use a regular iron. The steam has a slight effect on the look of the hair, but it makes it last longer. My hair will stay straight for four days (i usually hate to wash it because i love how straight it is) when usually it curls after a few hours. I love how straight and nice it leaves my hair and when I do my friends hair, they love it to. All in all, this straightner works really well for me.posted Jun 25, 2007Link to this post

Does Not WorkIts more of a brush than a straightner. It doesnt make hair as flat as the CHI. Its probably only worth $20. It also broke my hair. The steam part doesnt work. Ive seen cheaper ones that give off steam. Hopefully I can get my money back! :(posted Jun 25, 2007Link to this post

It Stopped WorkingWhen I first got this straightener it worked very well. After 7 or 8 months one of the plates wouldnt heat up. So basically it wont last too long.posted Jun 24, 2007Link to this post -

*sighi bought this straightener at a flea market mall type of thing, the as seen on TV store, yknow. i wanted it so bad cos i saw it on TV. i spent 100 bucks, and i was the happiest child on the planet.then it broke.im actually pretty upset, it was the best straightener i ever used. ive never seen another with the steam set up, and that was really my saving grace for my giant poof ball hair.i used it for about a year, and one plate stopped heating. now i must use a 20 dollar piece of garbage, because i bought it at some random place so i cant even return it.=( i miss it.posted Jun 20, 2007Link to this post

The Same As A $15 Iron......I was SO hopeful! I have very curly, thick, frizzy hair. The steam didnt seem to do a thing to help. Like with every other straightener, my hair looked great at first and then within 10 minutes became fly-away and frizzy. I used all the products included and used some other ones too. My hair just looked FAKE. If it had been healthy looking like the infomercial I would have been THRILLED. Getting it straight isnt the problem, its getting it to look straight and HEALTHY thats the issue. The commercial indicated that the maxiglide did that, but not for me, unfortunatelly.Ill stick with my $15.00 conair.....posted Jun 19, 2007Link to this post

Not The Greatest Flat IronWhen I first tried the maxiglide, it took me about 3 hours to straighten my hair. My hair is really curly and frizzy. The maxiglide does straighten my hair, but it leaves it looking dry. When I straighten my hair I have to buy other products to make it look more natural. I think it works better if your hair is not as curly
