hey ladies. i got my maxiglide and decided to try it out on my daughter. i've been trying to grow out her hair for years now and can finally see results. at 3 years old, i noticed her hair was short but i was washing/conditioning weekly. i started seeing results once i stopped ponytailing and started braiding.
3 years old. i stopped using the little black plastic rubberbands and started braiding
4 years old, a lot better but still short. i kept braiding.............
5 years old, her hair was thicker and longer
6 years old, stopped braiding. her hair was long enough for plats now which are a lot faster
7 years old, 2009. the right side is blow-dried but still thick and would not lie flat. her hair is natural, i would say about a 4a.
results of the maxiglide. i started off on "5" but ended up on "7". it's a high setting but her hair hasn't seen heat in 2 years so i figured it was ok this one time. i used silk elements heat protectant.
a closer view to show her hair is not dry, i think it's my camera
. the results were good but i'm too salty her hair is longer than mine now 
. i trimmed off about an inch, but she really needs a good 2-3 inches off. considering she hasn't had a trim in 2 years overall her hair condition was decent. these pics are before i trimmed.
the whole process (wash, cond, blow-dry and maxi) took about 5 hours. i tried to do the blow-dry technique posted by saloncabelo (youtube) but her hair laughed at me (although it did work for my hair). i'm happy with the results but for the sake of time won't be able to do this again anytime soon.
