~*MAXIGLIDE*~

[AudraChanell]

Where can I purchase one and how does it work on frizzy hair? My hair reverts at the sight of water!!

Any pics?

Thanks!

 

[Irresistible]

It didnt work for me, all the pins pulled my hair out

but I know other ladies love it and have had great results. I'm sure they will come and chime in

 

[AudraChanell]

Okay, thanks.
That has me a little worried now ...

ahh maybe thats why it was yankin my hair out, i did no stretching/drying/blow drying first

it was really hard to work with for me

but I think too, when your really really used to one thing like I am, the pressing comb, everything else is like a contraption of sorts LOL

Your hair looks so beautiful-it clearly works for you

 

[AudraChanell]

Ouuu, thanks! Im 3c-ish as well.
I need a 20% off coupon from Bed, Bath and Beyond!

 

[IrrationalThoughts]

I just got 2 from HSN. I searched on line and found a coupon code so I got one of the MPs for $71...including shipping and handling. It came with all the extras, shampoo, condish, and 2 styling products, a mini, a brush and the CD. and 2 cases.

I havent used it yet, but my sister said it worked well and she is 10 weeks post. Make sure you detangle WELL, she didnt and lost a few hairs.

 

[AudraChanell]

Hmm, I was under the impression I could go from wet to straight instantly. I DO, in fact, have to air or blow dry first? Is it just a steam flat iron?

 

[**SaSSy**]

I want to try maxiglide again, but I brought the smaller plate flatiron and it took forever for me to straighten my hair. I had to section so much I just got so turned off from it. If I get one again I will for sure get the XP.

well I thought that too, but that didnt work for me

I'm natural with very thick curly hair that goes through major tangles/swelling at all points in straightening, thats why the pins killed it for me

I think it depends on your hair and how easy you can get it through with the pins......I think

 

[AudraChanell]

I see and that makes sense. My hair's not a big fan of water and its actually counterproductive in the straightening process for my hair. I'm just SO tempted to save time and effort. I think I'd faint if I could find a product that took me from wet to straight. I could avoid the 35 minutes it takes to set my hair and the hour drying time.

I could NOT do it without blowdrying first.

I won't try that.

I do very small sections. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete my head. That's why I only flat iron 2-3 times a year.

I have thick curly hair too, I just detangle with my big comb 1st before ironing, but I can't can't work a pressing comb to save my life and it's just too many steps for me to DIY with the pressing comb I can only get it pressed at a salon and I don't go to those people anymore.


I had the original one, and I now have the new XP and mini (for edges)
It works great for me, I get the super straight, silky, shiny swinging look or thick lightly straightened bouncy look, you do have to let it air-dry (braids, banded), or use a hair-dyer on it. You don't have to necessarily blow dry or tug on the the hair to stretch it out, when it's almost dry 90% or all dry, just detangle before you use the pin plate, that's what it says in the instruction DVD. If you follow it the way it says you'll have no problems like not pushing the steam button until after your at least 3 inches from your scalp, and doing the quick steam pass on the length first. I've never had any damage with it. But if you have big thick hair get the big girl iron.

It's the best flat iron I've ever used, I don't like other flat irons cause I feel like their just frying my hair, and it takes forever to do my hair with them and it still doesn't do a good job it takes 3 hours with a flat iron and 1 hour with the maxiglide, I'm not counting drying time just how long it takes to actually iron it. I've even switched to caruso steam setter cause my hair loves steam heat not dry heat. Now the heat protectant/moisture block really makes it last, even in humid weather, but I never used to use MB's before and only super 100 degree humid weather or pouring down rain would make it revert. hth

 

[AudraChanell]

... is that 1.5 no matter what kind of flat iron you use? It normally takes me 30 mins, but Im texlaxed.

I've only had one other FI that I hated. I used it on one section of my hair and stopped and returned it.

I believe the MG is the only FI for me.

YW, u deserve it, you keep that hair up girl. thanks to you coconut oil is the only oil I use religiously I even use coconut soap and coconut oil on my skin too, no ashys, no dryness.

I just used mine last night. It took me about 30 minutes to flatiron from an airdry status. I got my mine from HSN. They have it in a great package, and you can take a few months to pay it off. I am BSB, with BKT on my natural hair. The Maxiglide is my favorite iron because of the pins. I can get right at the scalp and edges, without burns. The pins are nly to enhance, not complete detangling. Use the same techniques when flatironing without pins as with...EXCEPT when using the Maxiglide, DO NOT squeeze the flatiron too hard. A light tough is all you need. Review the dvd that comes with, so that you use the tool properly. And always use heat proectant. HTH

Where did you get the coupon code? Can you also use it if you want to pay monthly?

 

[IrrationalThoughts]

I googled HSN coupon codes. I believe the site I used was WWW.PROMOTIONALCODES.COM. It was the first one the came up. They have all different codes depending on if you are a new customer or not.

It was cheaper than the Chi I am eyeballing and WAY cheaper than the Hana Elite I am coveting.

I could not use it if I did the monthly payments.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

I love mine I am relaxed (2 months post.) I watched a flat iron tutorial and so much made sense. Then I watched the maxiglide dvd.

I washed (using all of their products), blow dried on the medium setting (most of the time I'll use the coolest), then (since my hair was sectioned in the wanakee method) I flat ironed each section. My hair came out with swing, shine, and just touchable lusciousness. I started a thread on it. http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=414946&highlight=

And it lead me to have an epiphany. Less product is more. I tend to be heavy handed but when I used just a small amount and got awesome results... I was convinced.

 

[cutenss]

Use can use the codes if you are doing payments. I have done in the past. If it gives you problems online, customer service will help you. They are great. HTH

ITA. This is the best flatiron. I now use it without the pins, and it get's just as sleek, straight and bouncy as with the pins. I also find that when I don't use the steam, my hair looks different...the steam works wonderfully...I love it!

Thank you, cutenss. Her hair is soooooo much thicker than mine too and heavy. It took me hours to do her hair, but it was worth it in the end. She is a sweater so, it lasted for about 2 days...all my work

That steam button makes a difference right? I'm so glad you know it too!
