I've had this for a couple of weeks now, and I've been using it daily. It is a great hair styling tool, and even when the curls fade, my hair still has volume. The paddle brush was unexpectedly good for my hair type. I had fewer flyaways, and my hair was smoother. Overall, as a person who cares halfway about their hair, it is worth the purchase.
This has to be the most overrated, frustrating, difficult hair tool I've ever used. They make no mention of what length of hair works and what length doesn't, so, the buyer assumes it will work for shoulder length hair. It doesn't. It never worked right for me as the curling tool blew my hair AWAY from the curler and would not draw the hair to the curler so it could wrap around it. It was awkward to use, uncomfortable and it took me about 20 min. to make one, sub-standard curl. A complete waste of time and money. I do not recommend this product. "If" the reason it didn't work was due to the length of my hair (shoulder length blunt bob,) they need to state this on their advertisements and on the pictures and photos on the packaging and in the owners manual. And, maybe mine was defective as it never sucked the hair around the curler attachments, just blew it away from the curlers.
I have long, thick hair and this doesn't hold curls very well, no matter how small the sections of hair I use. Usually requires a lot of mouse/hairspray to hold shape but even then I lose my curls very quickly.
I have regular hair type. Not too thin or too thick. The oval brush gives me the curve and volume that I need. Blow dryer with concentrator is small enough for traveling. I will see if this would last for more than 2 years. So far, the quality is very good.
I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s the best spend I have done in quite some time. I am all for styling my own hair and saving a trip to the salon. Owning the Shark Flex Style has been a game changer. I love all the add ons for different styling features.
I would give this a 5 EXCEPT: (1) my hair is long and thick and the curling attachments aren’t long enough (2) I wish the blow out brush attachment was rounded or came with a smaller barrel option. That being said, a friend of mine has the Dyson and we compared this weekend. Shark won. Can’t wait for more options.
