Product Review: Andis & Maxiglide Pt. I

As stated in the previous post, I am now the proud owner of an Andis hair dryer and Maxiglide flat iron. Woohoo!

The Andis hair dryer was purchased at Sally's for $29.99. I got a small discount because I am a beauty club member, so for me it was $27.99. It has 1875 watts, comes with comb and diffuser attachments, and supposedly dries faster due to ionic technology.

I ordered the Maxiglide from HSN.com. I got a great deal on it. The set came with the flat iron, Miniglide styler (basically a mini flat iron), 12 oz of both Maxius shampoo and conditioner, 8 oz Beyond Straight Temporary straightener, 1 oz The End Silicone Shine Enhancer, detangling brush, two carrying cases for the flat irons, and an instructional DVD. The price was $79.99, but I had a coupon code which took $15 off. $64.99 for all that stuff.... heck yea!!

On Friday, I washed my hair with the Maxius shampoo. It was nothing special -- not good and not bad. I would use it again. I used the conditioner to detangle. I liked it, it had a nice scent and a lot of slip, so it made detangling pretty easy. After towel drying my hair, I used a little Cantu leave in and coconut oil. I then detangled one more time, and let my hair dry a little, till it was only damp.

I then applied a little of the Beyond Straight all over my hair, and started drying. The first thing I noticed about the blow dryer is how light it was! I used to always feel like I was getting an arm workout while drying my hair. However, It was nice having the dryer be so light, but my hair was dry so quickly it didn't even matter! My hair isn't that long, so it doesn't take long anyway, but I think my hair was dry in FIVE minutes. Seriously. And the Beyond Straight had it looking and shiny and healthy as my hair has ever looked after being blown dry. Here is the final result:


Next, I'll review the Maxiglide!
