Frizz Taming Tragedy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try the Shark Ion Curl. I have extremely frizzy , coily, curly hair . I was hoping to find an appliance that could manage my frizz while leaving my hair feeling silky and smooth. I feel that this product did not achieve any of those results. Unfortunately, my hair was left feeling stiff and my ends looked and felt dry. My hair was left frizzy and shattered looking.i found the temperature setting button confusing and had to stop to figure out what setting it was on. I truly wanted to love this product but the end result was not my desired outcome. Some of the positive attributes that I noted were, the compact size that would be good for travel. I felt that the ease of using the different attachments was great, and maneuvering the appliance from one position to the other was simple. In addition the attachments did not get too hot and were easy to remove. I like the concepts of having one tool with different attachments instead of multiple tools. I would consider this tool if you have a smoother texture hair and like to change your styles from time to time. The curl feature is great and in my opinion can be easily managed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very underwhelmed by this tool. Although I appreciate the main unit for its drying capabilities, the curling attachments were essentially useless. It was very time consuming, clunky to use, and results lasted mere minutes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This curl and air styler has changed up my hair styling routine for the better. It gives me salon-quality results at home easily and quickly. Features that really make this a great product: 1. Drying time - the powerful air flow dries hair quickly even with my real thick hair. 2. Curl Definition and bounch - the auto-wrap gently and easily grabs hair to create soft and long lasting curls. I've noticed you get more bouncy curls than with a curling wand/iron. 3. Frizz control - i live in an area where humidity can cause frizz but the ionic tech smooths my hair and reduces the number of frizz/flyaways i have. 4. Heat Protection - the high speed air flow is more gentle on my hair than most blow dryers direct heat keeping my hair looking healthy and shiny.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy using the product. The main unit dries my hair very quickly without damaging it and I like the bounce of my hair after using the round brush. The frizz control is game changing! So easy to use and my hair has never looked as shiny and healthy. The curls could be a bit tighter which is why I choose 4 stars overall. I really the design and the easy switch from one tool to another
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shark IonCurl Has been phenomenal. This airstyler has way more power than any other airstyler that I've used. I have had so much bounce and volume while using this system on my hair. It dries my hair in record time and the ion helps with all of the frizz control. I've noticed so much less heat damage since using this styler. I would definitely recommend this product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for a couple months, my hair has never looked better! I consistently get compliments on how good my hair looks! It takes me under 10 minutes to go from wet to styled. My hair looks healthier than it has in years! I use this almost daily now and have stopped using all my older hair tools!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item was gifted to me by the brand and I'm so pleased with it. I did not think that I would love using it as much as I do. my favorite feature would be the frizz fighter attachment. I have completely stopped using my flat iron and replaced it with that item after doing my blow dry with the shark Flex style ion.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start off by saying I have naturally curly hair, and I have been trying to use the least amount of heat as possible to maintain my curl pattern. I own another shark flexstyle, and while I do love it, the IonPro version is truly top tier. What usually takes me about 20 minutes of drying time, is cut down to 8 minutes!! I use both the brush and barrels for my blowouts. I have noticed that the brush doesn't snag my hair compared to two other brands I own😅 which is much appreciated. The curl attachments air wrap also seemed to be pretty strong holding my hair. I noticed that last time I used them, my curls ended up lasting 3 days, and I surprisingly only had to touch up some frizzy areas with the frizz control attachment. Of course, the best part of using the Ion Pro is that after I wash my hair, my natural curl pattern looks amazing and shows no signs of heat damage, so I can continue styling without guilt!!
