How hot did you have the iron? Heat usually counteracts frizziness, so more heat - less frizz. This will, however, damage your hair in the long run.
I use Biosilk Silk Therapy on each section before I put the iron to it. It's a good heat protectant, adds slickness and smells great.
I had it set to the highest temp. as it said in the instructions for ethic hair.
Ok everyone when you put the heat protection on do you put rub it in your hands then apply to your hair and comb it thru or do you put the heat protection serum on each section as you go.

I am new to these forums and I am glad I joined. Layla, I'm glad to see your response for the Maxiglide, I just ordered it and I was wonder if I would be happy with the results. Now I cannot wait to get it. Thanks for the great review and instruction.
The pins on the maxiglide don't pull your hair because you are not actually closing the iron completely down. The steam does most of the work for you without you and your hair should simply slide through. Also, you can take the plate with the pins off and use a smooth plate...my aunt does it that way. I used to press my hair with a hotcomb, but this way it is lighter and silkier, but just as straight!
I have been using the maxiglide for about 8 mos. May aunt bought two and gave me one. I don't go anywhere without it. My hair is natural and people think I have a perm. I went to a new hairdresser and he wet a strand of my hair for a strand test before coloring and he said "honey your hair is curling right up, when is the last time you had a relaxer?" I have even let some up my girls with relaxers use it on their new growth, and they all wanted to get one. To me, it is a miracle worker. I get to my roots with no problem at all and I don't have to pull on my hair to get it through the teeth.
My hair is napptural. I was interested in flat ironing my hair. I'm down to these three products..
Sedu
Solia
MaxiGlide
My question is....out of these three products whic is best for natural hair.
For those of you who own the Maxiglide....I've read a review that it was heavy and the plates are too huge to get to ur roots. What are your thoughts on the product...
Also....If I buy the products does anyone know the return policy if I don't like them?
Overall, I've seen mixed reviews on the maxiglide.....
The Sedu is quite a bit over my budget
Soooooo, drumroll!!!!
I bought the Solia. It should be here by Friday or Saturday. I bought it from Folica so if I don't like it I can always return it. If it doesn't work well with my hair then I'll save for the Sedu.
I think you just have to pay the shipping to send it back. I don't remember what state the iron on craigslist was. I've never been to craigslist before it just came up in my google results.
Thanks I checked the site and as you said they have a 30 day money back guarantee granted u pay for shipping. That is a blessing!!
I did a google search and did find the craigslist post but it already expired.
