For the past 5 or so years, I only straightened 2-4 each year, for the same reasons you said - hours of torture that wouldn't last long enough to get a good picture. I watched the Maxiglide infomercial for years, came close to ordering it a few times, but was always too skeptical to believe that it would actually work on my hair. The many beautiful pictures here finally convinced me that it was worth trying, and that HSN deal was too good to pass up. As I mentioned above, I have only used it once so far, but I was amazed at how easy it was to use and how well it worked. Combined with the Sabino Moisture Block (which is the same formula as The End Shine Enhancer that comes with the Maxiglide if you get the package deal), my hair lasted without touching up for almost five days... despite humidity and my having two days of fever from a bad cold. That has never happened for me, ever, not even when I was relaxed. I think it is worth trying; if it doesn't work, eh, you can always sell it... but if it does work, you will be very happy indeed.
Thank you so much for your input, it is greatly appreciated. I think I will buy one (the packaged set) and give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right?

what level was your heat setting on the maxiglide?
It was set to level 10.. This is my 3rd time trying it..First time it was on level 6 and my hair slapped me for being ignant with it
...2nd time I tried 8 and it got straighter but not as much as I like... so i went for the gusto and love it.. I used TONS of heat protectant tho and only one pass...You all are seriously making me consider purchasing the Maxiglide.....I haven't even used the Sedu that I got off fo the swap board yet.....
I have the sedu.... its a great flat iron. It straightens the length of my hair but strangely not my Henna'd ends.. I will never try henna again
I did it right after my bc and now those ends are super dry, hard to condition, and hard to straighten...My MaxiGirl (thats her name now) has been the only one to tame them..lol

quick question ladies. when you are using your maxiglide, do you use the detangling plate or do you switch it to the flat plate?

thank you. I'll use the detangling plate next week. I used the flat plates yesterday and I didnt get the same results that you ladies get.

I finally got around to using my Maxiglide and these are the results on my transitioning (8 months) hair:
And of course, the obligatory "swang shots":
I LOVE this flatiron. My FHI may have to retire!

finally used it...on my daughter. I don't have the patience to do mine yet.
Here is a couple of pictures of her natural texture (I didn't take a picture before):
Here is maxiglide pics (I kept it in ponytails because I thought all out was too grown for a 4 year old):
I like it. It was very easy to use. Her hair straightened very easily.

Great results! Love the swang.I finally got around to using my Maxiglide and these are the results on my transitioning (8 months) hair:

I'm about 9 mos into my transition, I wish my hair's thickness was as even as yours.
My wispy ends have made me give up almost all hope of having swang but I still look forward to trying out my Maxiglide in the near future.

TRANSITION OVER! 11-22-14
I could never get my to look right by using the teeth. I could use the flat iron part, but it was really too bulky for me to use.

Natural again ... this time for good!
I bought a Maxiglide in December but decided to wait until this month to use it. I haven't straightened my own hair in a while because I usually get it done at the salon. However, the Maxiglide has really given me the confidence to start straightening my hair myself again. I found it very easy to work with and the steam makes all the difference in the world IMHO.
I clarified my hair and did a protein treatment with Nexxus Emergencee, then followed that up with Kenra MC as my deep conditioner. I used a little of the Beyond Straight leave-in and the shine serum that came in the Maxiglide kit. I put 12 Curlformers in my hair and airdried it overnight. Then I Maxiglided my hair with the steam on Level 5. Here are my results:
Hair right after washing:
Hair after I took out the Curlformers the next day:
Maxiglided hair: two passes (one with steam, one without):
Second day hair:
Third day hair:
I think my hair came out pretty straight, but it probably would have been even straighter had I blown it dry instead of letting it air dry. I used coconut oil on it daily to lubricate my strands.

I am shipping mine back today :-(.... It just didn't do it for me. I mean...my hair got straight and all, but it didn't have the silkiness i normally get... Probably b/c I didn't blow dry...
I tried it twice and I'm just going back to old faithful.

It shouldn't be any harder than doing your daughter's hair. Believe me, I always hated straightening my hair; the last two times I did it before getting the Maxiglide I wasted 5-6 hours each time. But using the Maxiglide is too easy; the second time I tried it, it only took me a little over an hour on air-dried hair - completely unheard of for me! If I weren't so afraid heat damage, I would probably use it quite regularly.
Very nice!
