Help! Fine hair and the Maxiglide

Thanks for the reply, Cutenss.

Whenever I useed my plug-in heating comb, I didn't recall seeing that much hair come out (I could be wrong, it's been awhile since I last used it.)

Don't get me wrong, I love how the Maxiglide straightens my hair.  I just noticed more hair the second time I used it, as opposed to the first time. 

Is the heat from the Maxiglide more than the heat from a heating comb (plug in or traditonal)?  What about the steam, is that worse for black hair as opposed to using a heating instrument that doesn't give off heat?

I ordered "Beyond Straight" and "The End" a week after I got my Maxiglide, I should be getting it tomorrow.  I will try it one more time with these products and see how it works.

Thanks again for the advice. :)

Hello, everyone!

I am a mixed-race black, and have fine hair.  After almost 16 years of wearing a hair weave, I had my extenstions taken out almost a year ago, and have been growing my own hair out, which is doing very nicely, and now have it professionally relaxed every 5-6 weeks. 

I bought the Maxiglide two weeks ago and love how straight my hair comes out.  I have a question:

Is it normal to have some hair fall out when using the Maxiglide?  I noticed this the first time I used it, and it seems that when I used it again a week later, there were a more strands of hair that fell out than the week before (I think because of the comb plate.)

It is my understanding that we lose about 100 strands of hair a day, so maybe I'm being paranoid?  The first time I used it, I did have the setting on 4 (recommended for fine/relaxed hair).  My hair came out straight, but not as straight as I wanted, so I used the flat plate the next day, and my hair really looked good!

The second time I used it, I had it on 2-3 and used the comb plate, with the same results.  Unfortunately, I saw more hair strands fall out after I used it.  This a.m., I used the flat iron and didn't see as much hair fall out. 

I really love my Maxiglide, but if I'm going to keep seeing strands of hair on the sink and floor after I use it, then I will take it back  (I still have 30 days to return it.)  Or maybe I should just stick to the flat plate?

It's not like there was a ton of hair that fell out, not at all, but I'm still concerened.

Should I send it back?  Are there any products you can suggest I use that will protect my hair while I use the Maxiglide?

Thanking you guys in advance for any advice you can give, and have a great day!

P.S.  Hope this doesn't sound jumbled, I'm still trying to wake up!
