I use a large barrel curling iron most of the time. If I want some extra volume I use a ceramic hot air brush on my almost dry hair. It doesn't give as much polish and smoothness though, so I usually have to go over sections of the surface with the regular curling iron. I have tried ceramic flat irons, both large and small, and I felt like they were too harsh for my hair. They get my hair wonderfully straight and sleek at first, but once I start going about my day, the ends start to look fried, even if I had put pomade on them. I'd given up on flat irons, then I saw the Maxi Glide on
Shop at Home Channel. It intrigued me; they had models with huge bushy curly hair, and some with just frizzy hair, color treated, teenagers, women of all kinds, and they were all doing their own hair live on tv. The results were amazing, I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm still not exactly sure how it works but there's steam involved somehow, you can control how much so it is moisturizing your hair instead of making it frizzier. It has hundreds of tiny detangling combs on the ceramic plates that pull the hair taut. The outside of the iron has special grooves so if you want to flip or curl your ends, you just keep turning the iron as you get to the ends of your hair and the hair "feeds" into the grooves. It's supposed to be much better and kinder to your hair. I ordered it about a week ago and I haven't received it yet but when I do I'll post a review right away! I don't mean to rave about something I haven't tried yet, I'm just really excited about trying it and I wonder if you might want to look into it too. Go to
Shop at Home online, you can learn about the this item! Good luck to you!

Hmmm... that looks neat! Be sure to let us know if it works as good as it looks on the video!
