Snow Day!!!
Although I should be taking advantage of this wonderful snow day and studying for my next 2 exams (booooh!), I couldn't resist updating with my results.
I hoped that my MaxiGlide would arrive after I got home and I wouldn't have to wait another day.....and it did! I didn't have to wait.....at all...literally lol. As soon as I signed for my package I got that box open and just about leaped for joy. When I opened the Maxiglide box however I was slightly confused though because although everything was in new packaging and seemingly new and unused, my Glider looked weird. The finishing on it suggests that these things are poorly made or I got one of the older XP models. It looks vaguely like the one on the dvd but isn't that how they do us consumers anyway? See one thing, get another.....Now nothing blew up when I tested it and judging from the look of a used plug they must have re-packaged it or they test all of the plugs to make sure they come on and work (willing to bet and trusting it's the second one). I watched the instructional dvd that it came with and as it went along the second time through, I tested a section of my hair.
Fabulosity! My hair had been taken down and combed out/detangled from my pony puffish do. I tested a section on the side and it looked good. I'm not one to heat style on unwashed hair, so I used the maxiessentials maxesse moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and before gliding I applied the beyond straight temporary straightener aka heat-activated protectant gel

It's not pin straight like most would think or hope but I was kinda hoping against pin-pin straight just a little bit. I didn't want to be unrealistic and be disappointed. I love the thickness of my hair and tend to miss it if I have it pin straight from getting it pressed and flat-ironed (I'll post pics of that from Christmas....you would have thought a had a perm! eeeek!!)
I have a hunch that the next time I Glide that if I use a higher setting (I used between 5 and 6 at the most, not really sure how to tell where the number falls b/c there is no arrow.....hmm....) and I go through once like they said (I'm hard headed and I thought the pre-stream part didnt count....or I did it wrong lol) that my hair will be pin straight using this. I've seen it happen on the hsn video but I dunno what the actual thickness of girl's hair is. Looks pretty thick though......
Before
