Hey Twin..by 7 days! Ha! I bought mine after watching the infomercial but I remember seeing it at BB and B while shopping for something else. They had the infomercial playing there too.
I did not really believe I would get the results I did so I bought it but opened it all pretty making sure I didn't ruin the box, kept the receipt and went at it. Well I was sooo impressed by it I was like astonished at how straight, smooth and unburnt it got my natural hair.
Yeah I am natural except for the color. I relapsed and got a perm when I was pregnant in 2001 but grew and cut it out in October 2002. It's all good.
I think in my album those results were from the salon but I do have some pny tail maxiglide photos in my yahoo album. I will send it to you via PM.
I was looking for your album but could not locate it. I am fairly new to this forum and still can't quite navigate through everything so if you can point me in the right direction that would be great. Your looks gorgeous and healthy in your avatar!!!!
I can understand not wanting to use too much heat or heat at all. I am straightening my hair weekly but am not trying to go at least 2 weeks between wash and straightenings so my hair doesn't get too damaged. My beautician goes 3 weeks between press and curls which is great for her but my scalp be screaming for a nice shampoo massage after 1 week. We will see how I do this week.
I just finished maxigliding about 10 minutes ago. I wrapped my head up in a silk scarf before going in the shower today, forgot the shower cap and got the ends of my pony wet sooo I was like "aight let me go on ahead and wash my entire hair". I let it air dry and then maxiglided this time vs. blowdrying it first and then maxigliding. I prefer blowdrying it first because it helps w/ the detangling process MUCH better. Plus when my natural hair dries it curls on itself at the ends which makes them tangled even if I detangled while wet.
Go figure! I can definitely seeing this as being a very good product to use between touchups if you relax your hair.

CurlDST, you are almost my twin (I was born April 7th, same year as you!!!)
I agree with you, if you have to pay $65 for a press and curl, girl you got your money's worth before you even used it! I didn't know you were natural. Your pics in your album are pretty. Did you use the Maxiglide for those? Don't get me wrong, it is def. a good product cause you get salon quality results (sounds like the infomercial, huh), but I just don't use it that much because I am too chicken of the heat
