This is a MUST HAVE Hair Straighter!!!
Reviewer: Miss S from

A few years ago, I seen the commerial with this and thought like most that it wasn't real, but about 3 months ago...I finally got feed up with all the flat irons that weren't doing the job to straighten my hair. See I'm Black, White, and Native American...so my hair is curl but the only time that I get it real straight is when I go to the salon. Now that I've bought the Maxiglide...I don't have to go to the salon to get my hair as straight as they can do in the salon. So, I would recommend this product to everyone who wants a real product that will get the job done.
FREAKING AMAZING!!!

My hair is partially curly and partially wavy/frizzy, so it's really hard to get it straight and nice, and smooth and shiny. I used all kinds of products, i went and had it chemically treated and everything. And nothing worked. I even used the house iron, as in the iron you use to iron clothes, yeah...because NOTHING else worked, and everything was just damaging my hair. I used to have gorgeous, thick, full, long hair, and after i turned 16, it went downhill because of all the nonsense i did to it. I got it when it first came out, my mother saw it on HSN. She was tired of watching me go through so much to get my hair at least decent, and to have so many worthless products that didnt even work in the end, so she went and bought it. Of course it was ridiculous expensive, and i was annoyed that she spent so much on a flat iron, which by the way, came with the iron itself, and not this whole package that this site is offering, no it was just an iron, NO replacement plates, no DVD, no nothing. Anyway, i was pretty skeptical about using it because of the steam being directly on top of my hair, in addition to the heat from the ceramic plates, but after about ten minutes of styling my hair, i realized HOLY COW! this works, and it took an hour and a half job, and cut it down to 10-15 minutes at most. I was so impressed. Its been three years now, i believe, that i've had it, it's been through so much, through traveling, through me throwing it in the drawer when in a rush, and me coiling the wire around the base to leave more room in the drawer. And it still held up through all that abuse...that is until now, that i'm buying a new one lol. I forgot the name though, so i've been searching EVERYWHERE for it, because once you use it, i swear you never go back, thankfully i figured out the techniques on my own, and anything and everything i do, works out beautifully. And i read another review saying that her hair grew, and now that i think about it, i think mine did too, because after i damaged my hair from all those other things, i had it at shoulder length, at the longest, it went from my waist to shoulder in about 2 yrs, and i was devastated. But now i'm trying to grow it back to my waist, and it's about 10 inches or more from my shoulders because it hangs over my breasts, and when i bend down it will come under my arms, so i'll pull on it by accident as i'm moving or picking up things. So honestly, if you're contemplating buying it, it was the best thing i've ever used. And it doesnt make your hair SUPER STRAIGHT if you dont want it to, which is great, because it can go either way, it can be PIN STRAIGHT or you can style it so it'll curve at the bottom, or flair out, or whatever you want. Its so versatile, i love it. So def. buy it, and if you dont like it, then you probably just dont know how to use it.
I really like the Maxiglide

I have kinky tight curly hair and I have been doing my hair myself for years. I was working with curlers and a blow dryer for over a decade and straightened my hair so well that I fooled hairstylist into thinking my hair was straight not kinky tight fuzzy curls. I was really impressed with the Maxiglide XP my hair is beautifully straight. I did not have to use a blow dryer or curlers or anything else.It was a humid hot day today and my hair was still super straight at the end of the day.

I just ordered the Maxiglide a few days ago; I received it yesterday. Since I was 100% new to it I tried it on heat setting 2 and I didn't see much of a result. But, I wanted to test out the temperatures to see which one was right and safe for my hair. I tried it again today on heat setting 4 for my thick hair. I was so surprised at the results. I am an African American female with the kinky, thick, nappy hair that gets to the point where you can't even get a comb through it after it has been washed and dried and currently it is rebuilding from a lot of damage due to chemical relaxers and color. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT THE MAXIGLIDE RIPPING PEOPLE'S HAIR OUT. The maxiglide was nothing but easy to use and gentle on my hair; I could count the few strands of hair that came out with the glides. I watched the dvd and followed the directions, and if you do that you will never go back to an ordinary flat iron again. Previously, I had been using a ceramic flat iron from Hot Tools and it worked alright but, I had to add a lot of grease and oils to my hair to get the healthy shiny look. However, with Maxiglide I just added a small amount of carrot oil and I glided away. I had body and bounce when I had finished and my hair felt soft and smooth at the root just like if I had a relaxer but, I don't. I've been all natural for over a year; I usually do my own hair (wash, air dry, blow dry, flat iron, and style). My advice for potential buyers of the Maxiglide: ----- 1. Don't pay too much attention to all the negative comments about this product that you see posted (ripping out hair, breaking off hair, burning hair etc...) Any product can rip out your hair if YOU have the temperature too high or if you squeeze or do a rush job. I have burned/broke some of my hair out before with a hot comb but, that was not because it was a bad hot comb, it was because I had the temperature too high for my hair. This is the mistake that others must be making. 2. When you get the Maxiglide watch the dvd and follow the directions and take your time until you get comfortable with this product. If you only have 15 minutes to spare then don't use the Maxiglide or if you are already frustrated with your hair then dont work on it with the maxiglide until you calm down. Again personal experienceI have had braids before and while taking them out I have just got frustrated lost my patience and started yanking the comb through my hair trying to hurry up and get done but, hey it doesnt make that the braiders fault. 3. Use the steam function. I must have had to refill the blue water reserve about 5-6 times while doing my hair to get a better result. If the Maxiglide slows down while you are gliding and seems to be stuck in your hair, stop use the steam function and go back to the root and use the steam all the way down the piece of hair and it will be perfect. I did not have to run the Maxiglide through the same piece of hair more than twice at all. So, go ahead purchase the Maxiglide and if you purchase it and decide that you like less manageability from your hair then you can always return it within 30 days. I have been in the mirror since I finished using the maxiglide so you read between the lines. Glides by G.

I have read numerous reviews and can not believe the people that say their hair is damaged and being pulled out. First of all you have to set the heat setting for your hair type, or you will damage your hair....any and hair straightener product will tell you this. Second if your hair was being pulled out your were applying to much pressure to the plates. The Maxiglide is designed so that you can apply as little or as much pressure to the plates as needed to "comb" through the hair....a simple hair brush will pull hair out of head !!!! I use this flat iron on my daughter and it is the only flat iron that I can use on her hair because of the thickness and curliness of her hair. The plates with the little "combs" on it glide through her hair and it takes me half the time with the Maxiglide than it does with traditional flat plates. After 2years her hair has never been damaged because of it, we are only buying a new one because our puppy chewed the cord on the one we currently have.
Simply the BEST flat iron out there

I have been using the Maxiglide well over 3 years now and I must say that it truly is the most amazing flat iron there is! I use to spend lots of money on my weekly hair salon visit (for both myself and my daughter), but that is a thing of the past because with this flat iron I can do my own hair! I need NO help what so ever! Anyone who says that their hair is still puffy or frizzy simply isn't using the correct technique... I have very curly/kinky hair and I had the same exact problem when I first started using the Maxiglide but once I learned how to use it, forget it - NOTHING compares!!! I've had the Chi and many other flat irons that fry your hair, that hasn't happened once in 3 years! Everyone is always complimenting me on my hair and I can't begin to tell you how many of these my friends have bought based on my recommedations and I must say that not one has regret it! I know you won't either! Just take your time and practice... You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"! Once you figure out the best way to work it for your hair, trust me you'll never regret it!!!! :)

It has been four months now and it seems I am using the Maxiglide on everyone from my sister, my nephews and anyone else. It still works great but the only complaint I have is the water holder can leak a bit. Anyway, I still love it and it has saved my daughter and myself much and time and money. Thanks Maxiglide, Nicole & Gabby in NJ
Very Impressed

This flat iron did a GREAT job on my transitioning hair. I have not had a relxer since last Sept (2007) and my new growth is very coarse. I watched the DVD for tips. One glide through my hair with no pressure was very efficient. The maxiglide does all the work. I recommend this product to ANYONE who has a difficult time achieving the bone straight bouncy look that they desire! See my before & after pics.
Nothing's better
