On the plus side, the rotating barrel design of the FlexStyle reduces the need for a separate hair dryer attachment. As a side note in favour of these attachments, their large dimensions are also what makes the styler better suited to longer, thicker hair. The UK version ships with a storage case, which will mitigate this somewhat, but this case isn’t currently available in the US. Even the styling concentrator is chunkier than expected.Īs a result, the FlexStyle is a pain to store in a drawer, and there are too many individual parts to keep out on your side/dressing table at any one time. Both the oval and paddle brushes are on the large side, much larger than the size of a regular hairbrush. The 8ft cable is thick and has a large power pack about a third of the way down, which makes it difficult to wrap or coil neatly. Conversely, when using the standard hair dryer with the barrel rotated, the length reduces to 8.5 inches – which feels far more manageable. The longest attachment is the 6-inch Auto-Wrap curler, which, in use, takes the total length of the styler to a somewhat cumbersome 17.5 inches. The main barrel is slim, but it’s long at 11.5 inches, and this is before you add any attachments. While it’s true the Shark FlexStyle can replace a number of your existing hair tools, don’t expect it to save you a lot of space in the process. Large, cheap-looking attachments detract from the styler’s overall finish.(Image credit: Future) Shark FlexStyle specs It’s designed to make curling easier and faster – once you get the hang of it, that is – and it’s this convenience that goes some way towards justifying the expense. This uses swirling airflow, blown out of slits in both styler’s detachable barrels, to attract and make the hair “cling” to the surface of the curler. The key difference, and the reason for the higher prices of Shark and Dyson multi-stylers, is that both appliances use the Coanda Effect. In Dyson’s defense, the Airwrap comes with nine accessories as standard and a carry case for storage in all regions. However, it’s more than half the price of the $600 Dyson. It’s twice the price of the $129 Revamp Progloss Airstyle 6-in-1 (opens in new tab), and the $110 Remington Pro Hot Air Multi-Styler (opens in new tab). In the wider multi-styler market, the FlexStyle’s price is at the higher end of the spectrum. Plenty of Shark promo codes are available which could help you cut the price down. In the UK, there is a single £299.99 option which comes with the five attachments as well as storage case. You can’t currently buy attachments separately. The former is marketed as being the best combination for curly hair types, while the latter will better suit straight and smooth styles. This includes the dryer, in a silver design, and your choice of three attachments.įor $269.99, you can buy the dryer with the two Auto-Wrap curlers, the oval brush, the styling concentrator and diffuser or buy the dryer with the two curlers, oval brush, paddle brush and styling concentrator. The cheapest, at $249.99, is the “build your own styler” bundle. In the US, it’s available in three bundles. The Shark FlexStyle is available exclusively from Shark in the US (opens in new tab), and the UK (opens in new tab).
