Maxius Maxiglide

I bought this product after seeing an infomercial for it, showing girls with gorgeous thick frizzy hair having their hair straightened without the need for a blow dryer. For my first quality straightener, at a time when flat irons were just beginning to be popular, I was really satisfied and felt like it did the job, at the time having very long thick hair. On the bad side, I found the comb ridge plate pulled on my hair too much, so eventually I switched to the plain flat one permanently. After a year of using it, I travelled to Europe and needed a european voltage flat iron, as my Maxiglide model was american only, so I got myself a 40 dollar value flat iron with ceramic and teflon covering, that was much smaller and much easier to use, and was happily surprised that it worked just as well on my hair, for 1/5th of the price. After 2 years, my maxiglide had a severe glitch where I turned it off, by the knob but hadn't unplugged it yet, and wanted to touch up a piece of my fringe before the plates cooled. Apparently instead of cooling off, the appliance overheated and ended up burning to a crisp a piece of my fringe, which I ended up having to cut it off. I've recently cut my hair to medium length, just pass my shoulders, and unfortunately the maxiglide is now too bulky to straighten the under layers of my hair. 200 dollars was a serious rip off for results I could have gotten with a 120 dollar salon flat iron.

I have my Maxius Maxiglide now a good two years. The iron is durable, does the best job of any straightener I have used. My ONLY complaint is a complaint no different for any straightener....they say you don't get burned on it, well, I beg to diff on that matter. I have been burned more times than I can count. Since it is the same with all the others I have ever used, I don't think it is a drawback to even consider. I DO use their products along with it, simply because they are GREAT products and I have gotten to a point where I am not happy with anything else I use. I recommend this straightener to EVERYONE.!

OMG!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Maxius for the Maxiglide. It works GREAT! I got my Maxiglide today, and it was wonderful. If you take your time and follow the rules it will work. I've always wanted a Maxiglide and now I've got it. The Maxiglide left my hair shiny and so soft, and I'm a 24 year old Afro-Caribbean woman. When I ran my hands through my hair, I was surprised, that not one strand came out, and I was not able to do that before on my damaged hair.Great product Maxius, it's AMAZING!

Have used Maxium Maxiglide hair straighteners for 5 years. love love love it, have 2 original maxiglides both still work fine. Really did change my life, thought the only way I could look good was a hat. Ordered new smaller version quit working in a week. returning, checked several other reviews, seems to be a common problem, recomend you stick with original style. This is truly a wonderful product

Maxius Maxiglide is the best straightner ever. I've owned the original maxiglide and have now received the newer XP version. This updated version has the swivel cord, auto shut off and lighter case for easier use.

If you want pin straight hair, try the new maxiglide XP.

Ease of use and control of heating element. The maxi glide was easy to use and did a great job of straightening the hair also made it very shiny.

This straightener is awesome i love it , i have short thick curly hair and it makes my hair super straight.. love it

I love the maxiglide so much because it changed my life, I have very curly frizzy nappy hair and all my life people would call me names. When I tried it I looked like a supermodel. Back in September I went to my 10th junior high class of 1996 reunion and at first no one could recognize me, but when they realized it was me they were like amazed. I told them that it only takes 10 minutes or less to do my hair!

I'm not sure how durable the Maxius Maxiglide hair straighteners are because I've only been using the straighteners for a few days.

The detangling teeth are awesome, and each individual hair gets straightened in one pass. The Maxius Maxiglide hair straightener is excellent, even on African-American hair.

Just follow the directions and it will be the best straightening iron you've ever owned. If you make the mistake of "squeezing" and not "gliding" you WILL pull out hair.
