True Ceramic Pro VS. the Maxiglide

Does the True Ceramic Pro or the Maxiglide work on relaxed hair.? I would like to try both but most of the flat irons I've tried leave my hair dry unless I have recently had my hair relaxed. Is there any one out there who has this problem?

Each hair tool has its advantages and shortcomings.

TCP Hair Straightener

The True Ceramic Pro hair straightener (TCP) works very well for straight and generally humidity resistant hair, it is very light and easy to use. The cord is nice and long so it gives you plenty of working space. It heats up in no time and you can get whether hot or cool by the color changing plates. The TCP not only functions as a hair straightener but it works very, very well as a curling iron once you get the hang of it.

When you first get TCP, do not heat on your hair with high degrees, or your will find a tons of damage. Your hair would go from beautiful, thick and even all the way through to uneven and very thin at the ends. Another, the TCP is too small to straighten as much hair.

Maxiglide Hair Straightener

The Maxiglide hair straightener (compared with the TCP) is larger, heavier, and is a little more complex to use first off. You actually have to read the instructions first to figure out how to use it. Totally, it's a little hard to get the hang of at first.

There are little combs on Maxiglide's plate, they're great for relaxing hair, but not pretty good for the new growth. Because it is going to burn your hair off---the plates will get stick in your hair when you straightening. Use the flat plate instead of the comb plate is better for the new growth hair.

The finished product with Maxiglide is straighter than with TCP. It was really easy, just let it glide through your hair without clamping down very hard at all. The hair could stays straight all day long by straightening with Maxiglide, it's longer than the TCP. The Maxiglide hold up a little better in humidity; the TCP hold up nicely as well, but there a very small amount of frizz towards the ends. Another, you could only touch up your hair by straightening with the Maxiglide about once a week, because it holds up so well; but with the TCP you should have to touch up your hair every two to three days---maybe it's one of the reason why the hair have so much damage by using a TCP.

Generally speaking, the Maxiglide and TCP are both good products. But the Maxiglide is better because of how well it straightens. It's recommended especially for people with long and/or very thick hair. If your hair is coarse, use the flat plate. The TCP is recommended for people with shorter hair or if you want something that functions as both a curling iron and a hair straightener. Keep both of them is a good idea. Use the TCP for the hair around head and use the Maxiglide for the rest.

Here are the advantages and shortcomings of the Maxiglide and True Ceramic Pro:

Maxiglide
Advantages: Hair comes out bone straight, great resistance to humidity, straightens very easily and very quickly, steam burst technology.
Shortcomings: Pin plate not good for coarse hair, takes a while to heat up and cool down, big and heavy, doesn't curl hair as effectively as TCP, steam burst is awkward.

True Ceramic Pro
Advantages: Very versatile... functions as curling iron and flat-iron, straightens very well, very good resistance to humidity, heats up and cools fast and color changing plates, light and compact - very easy to travel with.
Shortcomings: Smaller plates = longer straightening time, caused damage to my hair? Doesn't straighten as well or resist humidity as well as the Maxiglide.
