I would like to know if there are any african american ladies that have tried the Maxi  or Mini glide that hair straightener that claims to do wonders on all hair types ? ive seen the info mercials too many times and im almost convinced but i would love some feedback thanks!

Also: if anyone has any before and/or after pictures to display that would be helpful as well.

Girl. I love that thing. There is no way I could straighten my hair without my mama without that thing. I usually brushout my hair first so it's already semi straight. I give it two thumbs up!

I love my maxiglide!  I rave about this thing all the time.  It's an awsome iron and makes straightening so fast and easy.  My hair is natural and I can get it relaxer straight with this.  I have pics in my fotki if you want to see results, you can also see my natural hair.  Maxi is the truth! 

As for the steam, sometimes I use it and sometimes I don't.  For some reason I get better results when I don't. 

The maxiglde has been on my wish list since Dec of last year. I have done a lot of research and there are a lot of mixed reviews.  the good out weight the bad by far. I finally gave in a placed a order thru the Maximus web site. I was only 109.99 and that came with The maxiglde the mini glide, the beyond straight heat protectan kit, the traveling case, the velco like rollers , the instruction cd, the interchanges able plates and something else. Shipping was like 14.95 so total I paid about 135.00. This was the best deal because do other site had all of this. I can until it comes. I plan on using it once I take out my twist. I guess if it is not for me I can always return it.
