MAXIGLIDE MP - To Keep or Return to Sender?

[LadyPBC]

Hello LHCF friends. I have a day to decide if I want to return my maxiglide for a full refund (30 days). I bought it so that I could learn to flat iron my own hair in preparation for a professional trim. I tried it twice - I'm a heat phobic and don't really want to use heat on my hair very often. I used the plate with the teeth and I was not pleased either time. Of course I didn't know what the heck I was doing either. I waited 2 weeks before I tried it the second time.

The 2nd time I took a stab at blowdrying my hair. Also I went to TJMaxx and bought a Rusk iron (in case I want to do my own BKT one day - I'll need 450 degrees ). I flat ironed one hair of my hair with the maxiglide and the other with the Rusk. The side with the Rusk turned out so much better. I used the plate with the teeth again (forgot it also had a flat plate).

Sooooo - I'm not sure if I just don't know how to use it yet and should keep the maxiglide or just be done with it and send it back. I am thinking I should try again with the maxiglide flat plate but that would mean more heat and also it would be too late to return the maxiglide for a full refund. What do you think? - and no I didn't take pictures.

bumping for your advice - my Rusk was only $30 if that helps.

Return it as you gave it a chance (or 2) and, it wasn't for you.

I'd return it and keep the Rusk. Only thing with Rusk, it sometimes pulls at the hair. I'm wondering if mine is garbled a bit on the plastic edges or something. Maybe it's the angle I use...but it's a good iron.

Return it. I wish I would had used my MaxiGlide earlier, I am not a fan. I should sell it on here.

There you have it - I'll return it (even though I got it for a great deal). It won't do me any good if I don't use it and you're right Volver_Alma the Rusk iron does pull my hair. I think its the way the iron is constructed at the top. My hair can get caught in the plastic edges causing it to pull my strands out :-( thanks ladies!
