[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a total upgrade from my previous hair styling situation! I was blowdrying and then using a curling iron to get a big blowout look and it took forever. This has cut my styling time in half and with a much bouncier and smooth finish. I love how quickly it dried and how the curls really hold tight in my hair - I had a fresh blowout look the entire day. The dryer is easy to use and I got the hang of the curling attachments immediately, super intuitive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have thick, long, wavy hair, and overall I’ve really enjoyed using the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl. The curling wands took me a little while to figure out, but I found that working with smaller sections of hair made a huge difference and gave me much better results. I also learned to turn the tool off before releasing each curl, since leaving it on while taking my hair out sometimes caused it to tangle.
The other attachments were really easy to use right away, especially the brush, which has probably been my favorite. I love that I can dry and style my hair with the same tool, and I feel like it’s a much safer option for my hair than some of the other hot tools I’ve used at home.
My only real complaint is the size. It is pretty big and can be a little bulky to handle and store. Overall, though, I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have thick or long hair and want one tool that gives you several different styling options.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve only had this a few days, but I’m already impressed. My hair is wavy to curly and usually a pain to dry, but this cut my drying time way down. The biggest surprise was how much less frizz I’m dealing with, and it feels gentle on my hair rather than fried like other hot tools. It’s also genuinely easy to use right out of the box. So far, well worth it.
Drying speed is fantastic - dried my hair in under 3 minutes! The curling feature takes a while depending on how much hair you have, but it made my hair bouncy and shiny.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got theFlexStyle Ion Curl system and am very impressed so far! The dryer is very fast, and the smoothing and frizz reduction tools work really well— impressive in Philadelphia August humidity, and a solution I’ve been looking for.
As an eighties kid, I have a fear of curling irons and am so delighted by how safe and easy the curling tools are.
The purple color is so pretty.
The online tutorials are very helpful for getting started.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have curly hair that is usually very hard to style and with this tool it took me less than an hour to both straighten and make defined curls.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the FlexStyle IonCurl to review yesterday! Love the color and flexibility to change the handle when drying my hair. To start, I have curly to almost coily, long thick hair that is in need of a trim! I blew dry my hair with the round brush attachment and wow, it was so quick! Dare I say, quicker than the Dyson I currently use? It left my hair feeling smooth and I bet would be even smoother with a fresh cut. The curl attachments do take some time getting used to. With more time and understanding of the curl attachments, I think this would be a nice alternative to a curling iron. I did go through with a straightener for my edges after taking the pictures. All in all, I liked the styler especially with how quick it dried my hair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have long, straight hair, which usually my curls fall flat within an hour but the FlexStyle my curls actually held. The curl formed nicely and stayed in all day without dropping and staying smooth. Really happy with how it dried my hair so quick and performed on my hair type that’s typically hard to curl. Would recommend if you’re dealing with straight hair!
