I bought this a couple of months ago. It did take about a month to arrive but it was worth the wait. I used to dread drying and styling my hair, but this makes it so easy! The amount of power is insane I can dry my hair so quickly. I usually do an all over dry with the concentrator and the heat set to cold, then go back in with the round brush on a warmer setting to get more volume. I have so much more confidence in my hair. I docked a star for a few reasons. First, this thing is LOUD and high pitched. My watch always alerts me when I use it that I might get temporary hearing loss due to the dB. Second, it does create knots more easily than my other hair dryers, but I bet that’s due to the higher power. Lastly, the curler attachments are kind of a bust. I don’t curl my hair often, but when I’ve tried it my hair holds the curl less well than a regular iron. To be fair, they do wrap easily so if your hair curls easily they might work for you. Additionally, sometimes my hair will get crimped lines from the ridges on the barrel. I might purchase the smaller barrels to see if that helps hold the curl better in the future- wish those were available when I purchased initially!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, to be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan at first because I couldn’t get those voluminous curls or blowouts that everyone and their mother was able to do. However, I realized the problem wasn’t the tool, but me! There’s a learning curve for sure, but once I got pass that, my confidence literally sky rocketed!!! I’m still not even good at using it, but omg, my hair looks great and I don’t even have to use any fancy hair styling products and my curls have lasted me for three days, maybe more but I usually wash my hair on the third day. In addition, the blow drying function itself is amazing! My hair dries so fast and the heat isn’t super burning hot like typical blow dryers. My hair is thin, flat, and oily, so here are my tips on how I make this work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Shark FlexStyle is a neat styling tool. It is an all in one tool that allows me to ditch the bulky blow dryer and curlers. My first couple attempts at styling my wet hair with the dryer were total fails. I knew going into this tool I would need a lot of practice to really get it right. Thankfully, Shark has a lot of tutorials on their website to guide you on the type of style you want. My hair is long, wavy, and always gets a nice puff when I blow dry. My hair also hold curls extremely well, I never use hairspray. My first attempt at trying to add some curls to my wet hair was bad. I knew immediately what I did wrong too. They suggest you use the paddle brush to pull out your wet curly hair to get it as straight and flat as you can. That is the key for my hair because the first attempt my hair still had a lot of bumps and was way too puffy for my liking. Second attempt I really focused on getting my hair dry and straight using the round and paddle brushes. After I felt like I was at a good spot, I waited to add the curls. My hair will usually hold curls better after I let it cool down before applying additional heat. The curling attachments are cool and do take a little learning. I struggled more on my right side at first because my hair didn’t want to wrap. However, once you start going it’s pretty easy. I did realize also that you need pretty small sections to make this work. At the end, my hair has nice bouncy curls. This isn’t how I’d typically wear my curls but I don’t hate the look and it’ll grow on me. One more thing to note, I don’t think this saved me any time honestly. I still have a ton of hair and it probably takes about the same amount of time using a blow dryer brush and curling wand. Also, one thing I think would be beneficial is like a carrying bag or something. There are a handful of attachments and it would be great to have a bag included to take for travel or even storage. Overall though, I really like the concept and the more I use it the more comfortable I feel. It’s a very cool styling tool!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air dryer is a must purchase. This dryer gets much hotter than any other dryer I’ve ever used and because of the swivel on the handle it dries my hair completely in minutes.the way this air dryer is designed also helps protect your hair from the heat. This by far is what makes this product a must buy as a woman with 4C natural curly hair. The answer is yes and more yes as the product does not cause heat damage!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always disliked curling my hair because it takes too long, is too complicated, and I end up always burning myself on accident. This totally changed the game for me. It automatically curls your hair for you! You just need to place strands of hair on the barrel. My hair came out looking beautifully curled in just under 15 minutes. The coolest part is that it is also a powerful hair dryer. I’ve literally never seen a product like this in my life. Honestly blown away. It comes with five attachments: 2 for curling your hair, one for blowdrying, one for a blowout, and another for a semi-blowout look. I have yet to try all the attachments but I am so excited to try them! You absolutely need this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can not say enough how much I absolutely love this hair styler. I love that it has multi functions. I have replaced my daily used hair tools all for this one multi function one. I love that it’s so user friendly, you can change the head so quickly, and you can twist the head to make it a more comfortable hair dryer. Really love this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this product- this did not disappoint! I used both the blow dryer and air wrap. The blow dryer dried my hair within 5-10 minutes and left it feeling sleek and looking shiny. I used the air wrap one morning before work and was so impressed with the results, it adds a nice subtle curl and adds volume to your hair! It was easy to use and clear instructions came with it. I highly recommend when using the air wrap to use product to help hold the curl for longer. I know my hair is in great hands when using the shark flex style!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t rave enough about the Shark Flexstyle! I normally have to re do my hair every two days but with this my hair stays so much fresher and I can go much longer without washing. The attachments are easy to add onto the dryer and each gives me a sleek hairstyle. I never end up having to touch up my curls or waves after using the barrels. Round brush attachments are great for a smooth bouncy blowout. The dryer itself is quite powerful and I love that it has multiple heat settings!
