1. Use a lower temperature setting (1 - 4) if your hair is fine or chemically
treated, and (5 -10) if you have strong, coarse hair.
2. Always set the MAXIglideTM on its non-slip, rubber base.
3. Your hair should be clean, dry or nearly dry, and free of tangles and knots.
4. Never use steam within 3 inches of scalp.
5. To prevent steam from wet hair touching your scalp, be sure the hair is
completely dry at the roots.
6. DO NOT use steam while your fingers are on the ridges of the MAXIglideTM.
Never touch the hot plates!
7. You don't have to squeeze tightly like ordinary irons - the ceramic plates
and the detangling pins will do the work for you. Simply glide it through your
hair. You're not ironing - you're gliding.
8. When you get to the very end of the hair, pause for a second, then continue
gliding.
9. Start with a section of hair about 1 1/2" inches thick and about 3 1/2"
inches wide.
10. Brush each section to free it of tangles.
11. SOFTENING: For especially frizzy, dry, brittle or stubborn hair, first,
without applying a lot of pressure, barely close the iron and quickly go over
the frizzy, brittle part of the hair which is usually the last 3-7 inches
before the ends, with 1 or 2 bursts of steam. (This will soften the hair,
much like you would iron out a tough wrinkle in a shirt). Then go over the
entire section from the roots to the ends WITHOUT THE STEAM.
12. Creating flips is fun and stylish. When you get down to about the last 2
inches of the end of a hair section, start rotating your MAXIglideTM in one
spot. Keep rotating until your hair "flips-out" automatically. Note that for
especially frizzy, dry or stubborn hair, you can soften the ends first as
described above in tip 10.
13. For more control, you can use your other hand to help guide the MAXIglideTM.
DO NOT use steam while touching the ridges. And never touch the hot plates!
14. And finally, for those quick touch-ups, we've included a bonus flat plate
without the detangling pins. Using this bonus attachment, you can move quickly
through big sections of your hair for speedy touch-ups.
