- How come my MAXIglide will not turn on?
- When your MAXIglide is on the blue light at the base of the unit will begin
flashing until it has heated up completely and the light will stay blue.
Turn your MAXIglide on by using the temperature dial at the bottom
of the unit near the base of the power cord.
- How do I clean my MAXIglide?
- You can remove the plates by pushing in the two
buttons on either side of the unit and sliding the
plates off. Never immerse your MAXIglide into
water — YOU MUST REMOVE THE PLATES TO
CLEAN THEM. Use a soft cloth or toothbrush
and dish soap to gently remove the
build up on the plates. COMPLETELY
dry them before they are put back
on your MAXIglide.

- You can use a straightening lotion and leave in conditioner. You can also try a light hairspray.

- You can email us the following information: Name, address, email address, date of purchase, and Model number.

Regular delivery is 7-10 business days from the date of the order.

- What temperature does the MAXIglide Reach?
- At the highest heat setting it reaches 430 degrees.
- What is the difference between MAXIglide and other straightening irons in the market?
- Basically all the ceramic irons are the same, there is a heating element and there is a ceramic plate — but that is where
the similarity stops. There is very little in common between multi-patented MAXIglide and other ceramic irons. MAXIglide is t
he only product in the world that detangles, smoothes, hydrates, and straightens the hair in one step and one tool,
GUARANTEED.
- Is the water compartment only for water?
- YES it is only for water. Please use distilled or bottled water and avoid using tap water. This will lengthen the lifetime of your
MAXIglide.
- I am trying to order online. What does CVV mean?
- CVV is an anti-fraud security feature to help verify that you are in possession of your credit card. For Visa/Mastercard, the
three-digit CVV number is printed on the signature panel on the back of the card immediately after the card's account
number For American Express, the four-digit CVV number is printed on the front of the card above the card account number.
- I am traveling internationally; will the MAXIglide switch voltages from 120V to 220V automatically?
- The MINIGLIDE is dual voltage but the MAXIGLIDE is not. We will have the 220v MAXIGLIDE available in the near future.
- Does the MAXIglide help hair not frizz in humid temperatures like another flatiron being advertised?
- Yes, all ceramic irons including MAXIglide close the cuticle therefore helping hair not to frizz in humid temperature. But if you
use BEYOND STRAIGHT and THE END, two of our products, we can 100% guaranteed that your hair stays frizz free many times
better than any ceramic iron alone.
- I just bought a MAXIglide. Is it safe to use everyday or is it not recommended because it can dry out my hair?
- We recommend using your MAXIGLIDE once a week. If you have to use it more often, you must deep condition your hair
every time. You also need to use a thermal protection product like MAXIUS BEYOND STRAIGHT with THE END.
- Can I use Maxiglide on wet hair?
- Virtually every Flat iron ever made can be used on wet hair, including MAXIGLIDE. Water evaporates at 100 degrees, and
practically ALL of the irons get hotter than that. BUT, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL.
When the hair is wet, it has more elasticity, like a rubber band. When you use any hot iron on wet hair, in fact you are
stretching the hair and drying it. It is a little like ironing a wet wool sweater! It gets stretched and BIG! As you are stretching
the hair it actually gets thinner and weaker (JUST LIKE A RUBBER BAND)! Most importantly, if you start with wet hair, WHAT
WOULD YOU DO ABOUT YOUR WET SCALP???? As far as we are concerned this is just another marketing idea, NOT A
PRACTICAL OR FUNCTIONAL IDEA! After 25 years of styling experience and 6.5 years of development, MAXIGLIDE not only
makes sense, it definitely works.
- Hello, I purchased the Maxiglide package #3 and i love it. I was a hairdresser years ago and over the years I have spent
hundreds of dollars on irons and products to straighten my hair. Your iron is a miracle and I love the results I get from using
your iron. The only problem is that I am finding quite a bit of breakage and would like to know what you recommend to
keep my hair from breaking so often. Please let me know what to use.
- If you use it correctly, MaxiGlide does not break the hair any more than brushing or combing does. However, when using
MaxiGlide, you have to remember not to use any pressure by squeezing the plates together.
When using flat plates, including the MaxiGlide bonus flat plate, you can use light to medium pressure. But you should
never put pressure on the handle when you use the plate with the pins. There is no need to squeeze. The detangling pins
glide through and straighten the hair without pressure. Also, you need to be sure that what you are experiencing is real
"breakage" of hair. As you know we naturally lose between 50 to 100 hairs a day.
When using the ordinary irons, we must first brush the hair over and over to smooth the hair, before using the iron (otherwise
we just flatten the frizz!). In the process, a lot of weakened hairs that are ready to fall out get trapped on the brush. When
using MaxiGlide, since you don't start by brushing the hair over and over, some of the hairs that are ready to fall out will
show up on the MaxiGlide.
You can distinguish the hair that has fallen from the roots, versus the broken hair, by checking the ends of the hair, looking
for the little bulb at the end where it was set in the scalp. These hairs are part of the natural shedding process.
- I just bought the MAXIGLIDE and I am losing a lot of hair from the detangling pins. Is this normal?
- Everyone loses between 50 - 100 hairs a day, and about the same amount will grow back! The hair normally comes out
during washing, combing and brushing, etc. Since curly/wavy hair (unlike straight hair) does not get combed out everyday
or on a regular basis, when you do comb or brush your hair, it seems like you are losing a lot of hair, but in fact, it is the total
of one day or any number of days that the hair has not been brushed. When using MAXIGLIDE with the pins, you are also
brushing and detangling the hair too. Therefore the hair that is scheduled to fall out will be on your MAXIGLIDE.
- Is Maxiglide 100% ceramic or is it ceramic coated? What is the difference and is one better than the other?
- MAXIGLIDE, as with over 99% of all ceramic irons, including the one with "TRUE" in the name, is ceramic coated on high
grade aluminum, which to us, is the best combination, even better than all ceramic. After almost six and half years of
research and development to create the MAXIGLIDE, our engineers and researchers concluded that ceramic/aluminum
technology is the best combination. One reason is that it is we found it to be nearly impossible to polish the edges of the all
ceramic plates because it is a very hard and dense material and I was not satisfied with the smoothness of the edges. I
wanted the smoothest and softest surface to contact the hair on the top and the edges of the plates.
We travel the world and attend many shows. We have not seen even one all ceramic flat iron that has a smooth and
polished edge. That's why virtually all the famous flat irons - professional or not, use a ceramic/aluminum combination.
With the ceramic on top of the highly polished aluminum, we can achieve the smoothest surface especially on the edges.
So, when you turn the MAXIGLIDE to create a flip, hair will glide on the plate, rather than possibly breaking.
Basically the reason ceramic was introduced, was because we wanted a very soft surface to touch the hair. With the
ALUMINUM/CERAMIC, we achieve exactly that. Since your hair will only is only in contact with CERAMIC, whether it is
0.5MM thick or 2MM thick.
