Maxiglide users:The ACTUAL Maxiglide temp.'s

[clever]

I emailed the maxius folks and they gave me the temps in celcius so I converted it to farenheit

setting 1 160...320
setting 2 165..329
setting 3 167..332.6
setting 4 169..336.2
setting 5 175..347
setting 6 181..357.8
setting 7 189..372.2
setting 8 191..375.8
setting 9 192..377.6
setting 10 195..383


I guess setting that bad boy to 5/6 isn't such a great idea,huh?No wonder why my ends aren't as curly

[The Girl]

[Crackers Phinn]

What temperature does the MAXIglide Reach?

At the highest heat setting it reaches 430 degrees.

[tricie]

Thanks for the info; I'm scared to put mine past 4 1/2 or so!

 

[Gryphyn]

Thanks this is really good information. I don't remember what setting I used mine at when I had one, but with my current flat iron I never go higher than 300-325 so I don't damage my hair.

 

[discodumpling]

OP Thank You so much for this info. I MG'd on the 1st setting in December and thought even that might be a bit much!

 

[laketta]

Thanks for posting this. This is good to know.

 

[LynnieB]

So which is the correct temperature? there's a big difference between 430 and 383.

the highest temp i've ever used with the maxiglide is 2. normally i get great results at 1 or 1.5.

 

[wonderstar]

I normally use settings 2-3 with good results.

 

[MizAvalon]

I've been using mine at a 5 with good results. I figured since it was right in the middle, it seemed ok.

It makes a big difference seeing the actual temp in numbers.

Me too. I know I can definitely go lower

I am such a nazi when it comes to having straight roots. How is the Maxiglide for REALLY getting the roots bone straight? I am thisclose to buying one.

 

[NYCQT16]

Thanks for this. I love the Maxiglide!!

 

[naturalmanenyc]

I have only used it at 1 or 2.

 

[CenteredGirl]

Vary interesting. I'm wondering about Sabino Moisture Block though, doesn't it require 400 to work? Food for thought...

Well, yes and no...Because you can use SMB to air dry or rollerset...

 

[sylver2]

Just read this thread and bumping cause its great info. I tried straightening my hair on 6 and it laughed at the maxiglide. I did it a few days ago on 10 and it came out great but I was worried with the temp. 383 isnt bad.

 

[MrsHdrLe]

I usually straighten at 3-4, and thought I was doing something, but know I'll try to step it down to 2 or even one. Though, I haven't had any set backs so far, I don't want to tempt the heat damage fates

 

[Optimus_Prime]

Oh wow! I just used mine for the first time 3 days ago. I wondered what the numbers on the dial meant. I used it on 5 and then turned it up to 6. I won't do that again. For the ladies who use it at 1-2, do you do very small sections? How do you use the steam feature? It got my hair straight, but I need to get the hang of the technique.

 

[NorthernCalGal]

Great info, awaiting delivery of my maxiglide.

 

[jayjaycurlz]

Which version of the Maxiglide is better - the older version or the newer one?

 

[sillygirl82]

Wow. When I had a maxiglide, I used it at setting 10 weekly.

 

[Whimsy]

Wow, I use it at 6/7.
I'm still gunna. lol

 

[Ms_CoCo37]

I have been seriously contemplating on investing in a maxius iron. Have you had much success with it?

My last invesyment was in the Instyler. (big mistake there)
