Has any1 used the Maxiglide by Maxius hair straightener for $80 (has a steam system)?

[Keepin-ItReal]

Just wondering. Wanted to know if it is worth my money or not. Any experiences? I heard it works but then I've heard it breaks the hair, things happen with the straightener, and etc.

Go natural

steam is no good for us. you use the heat and straighten it, the steam will only revert it back. use a ceramic thing... flat iron.

my hair is natural. but have u tried the straightener? I read comments online by blacks who used it and some have said it works well.

i'm natural, and anything water based curls my hair back. all the gels and oils i use and conditioners dont have water in them. and i try not to use oils too much, and my hair pretty much adjusted. i use this silicone anti friz from redkin then press my hair with the ceramic flat iron. if i MUST. try to find out if the people recomending it have natural hair. b/c i KNOW for sure. water is no good. even when my shower steams, it reverts back.

u're right sha. I was thinking about that but then the straightener might produce more heat and with a little steam, it might be turn out ok. But I'll take ur suggestion of looking for ppl who used it and have natural hair.

u could get a ceramic flat iron, the one I have is by pro-select fot that same price range. I have permed hair,

[xoxoluwaxox]

i told her! ceramic is da best. but try to get ceramic ionizing or whatever its called. it really lets you straighten yoru hair FLAT!!! and it seems to stay longer and not BURN you hair.... i mean my hair. and seems the more i use it over time, the bigger my curls/kinks get and the easier it is to comb through. or it couls also be b/c of the length of my hair too. lol i dont know

I have it, u can get it way cheaper than that, bed, bath and beyond sold theirs for like $55 last yr. I only use mine when I'm stretching my relaxer, and might be 9weeks post and want to wear my hair down. Its way better than pressing, for those who press, I know many naturals who use it in addition to those with relaxers.
I threw away my ceramic flat iron almost 2yrs ago but maxiglide is definitely a keeper. Its safer and more convenient that using a pressing comb if u are already doing that

i got it ....it was nice sha...worth every dime.......but expensive i returned it

and your friends that have natural hair and use it, is it REALLY straight? ceramic was working really well for me, but if it is worth it i might try. the whole steam thing though is what put me off from it though

its straight kinda like a pressing comb without the hassle. So they use it say if they want to wear their hair down for an event. I dont use the steam, I just use the setting on the flat iron itself.
Definitely pays for itself in a couple of uses.

I have the set. Makes your hair straight def but it gets too hot. It damaged my hair a little bit. I'm thinking of selling mine on Ebay. I hate the fact that you can't have any product in your hair before using it. It feels too bulky for me. I still can't figure out how to make curls with it so I end up having to use a curling iron after using it.

[MIprincess]

I guess the thing would be I wouldnt recommend it if your hair isnt at least shoulder length straigthened. I use a 4 setting when I use it, and I use heat protectant on my hair before using it. There's also the miniglide which is a smaller version of the maxiglide.
