This has been a game changer for my hair!!! It cuts my drying time in half and leaves my hair feeling so smooth without the heat damage from other styling products. Love how there’s different attachments and how there’s so many different styles you can try. I now blow dry my hair every time I shower rather than air drying it because this hairdryer has made it hassle free.

I found this online while searching for a Dyson air wrap and couldn’t swallow the Dyson price tag. I watched you tube videos of influencers comparing the two and I was sold on the Shark Flex Styler. It is as I hoped and then some! No more frizz, saves time styling my hair and best of all, almost half the cost of the Dyson Air Wrap! 😃

(Before reading the review: I’ve attached a photo of my hair using the Shark and Dyson. You can take a guess which side [right/R or left/L] was which device and I’ll put the answer at the end of the review). After some research, I decided to buy the Shark primarily due to cost and the twist feature. (Also just to note, I really only wanted one of these hair styling devices for the curls/blowout look, so I will mainly be focusing on the “wrap” attachment and regular blow drying since those were the two functions I used before I ultimately decided to return it). First, things I like about it. The twist. Made regular blow drying so easy and similar to how one would use a regular blow dryer. When using the barrel attachment, the hold was strong. Once my hair was wrapped it did not move until the device was turned off. Cord was long. Different types of attachments, such as a diffuser which the Dyson does not come with. Second, the eh. I didn’t really believe the other reviews, but the Shark is a tad noisier than the Shark. I feel like that has more to do with the way the air comes out of the barrel - it’s stronger? and therefore louder than the Dyson. With the Dyson, it was primarily just loud at the filter end. But all hair dryers are loud, so how much of a difference noise makes is a personal preference. The buttons felt somewhat inconveniently placed. Cool shot is in the middle and other buttons are on the bottom. Sometimes I had difficulty feeling for the cool shot button. Felt like it was too far from the off switch. Would just but quicker and more convenient to not have to not constantly have to slide my hand up and down for the buttons. Finally, what I didn’t like. The two separate barrel attachments, only having one barrel width option, and no “long” barrel option for long hair. I have fairly long hair, and I felt that the barrel needed to be a bit longer to work better for me. It also would be way more convenient IMO to just be able to switch airflow direction like with the Dyson. The Shark did get really hot, and I was reading that Shark doesn’t really have an internal temperature monitor like the Dyson does. Part of the appeal of these devices is the “less heat damage” aspect, though heat is heat but we do what we can. I did feel like the Dyson did not get as hot, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Answer to the photo: Left was Dyson, Right was Shark. Personally, I didn’t like the results of the Shark side the next day. Just to note, with the Dyson, I used the smallest diameter long length barrel. Obviously, I used the only barrel option Shark came with. I can’t remember if the diameters were the same or not, but I set both sides with hairspray and slept with my hair above my head as to not crush the curls. My hair was almost straight on the Shark side. Both times I used the Shark the waves fell so flat. For those results, it wasn’t worth the time and effort. TLDR: I ultimately decided to return the Shark. Didn’t like the results. Didn’t like the medium length (compared to original and long length barrels for Dyson) barrel, just too short for my long hair. Didn’t like having to change barrels for each side. Didn’t like the level of noise it produced. Buttons IMO inconveniently placed. Heat intensity questionable. I did like the swivel feature, more ergonomic. I did like the different types of attachments Included. I liked the price compared to Dyson.

My hair doesn’t hold the curls very well but just using as a blow dryer or to smoothen out your hair it worked incredible! I have very thick hair and usually takes me up to an hour to dry it but using both the dryer attachment and the brush attachment my hair was fully finished within 30 minutes. Haven’t had an issue in the year I’ve owned it. Would recommend for anyone not wanting to spend $$$ on other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free for review. I love the product itself. It does take a little to get used to it. It took half my head for me to figure out how to use it without it tangling my hair. But once I figured out how to work it it worked great. Make sure you put a little bit of water in your hair so that it is damp because that is how it works best. However, I do have parents and you have to be careful with heating elements in the household with them and when I was finished curling my hair both my air purifiers were on high because they’re set on auto. That tells me that it may have Teflon as the heating element. But other than that, and if you don’t have, I think it’s a really good product and I would recommend it. 

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and change out the attachments, I will say if you are using this for the time right out of the box, don't do it when you are in a hurry, there are a few items in boxes stuffed under the top of the box, it was like pull this cord out and oh there is another connecting cord, but nonetheless it is a great dyer system and if used in a different carrier and not the box, it would be great to travel with as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a good blow dryer! This one cut my dry time in half, especially with the attachments. I love the versatility! Curling is awesome, my daughter's hair came out great. The only thing I have to get used to is where I put my hand when holding the blow dryer. I keep slipping down over the air suction and I'm afraid I'm going to short it out. Maybe if there was something to block it? That is the only issue I have had. Definitely recommend this product!

Don’t think, just buy. I have long, fine hair but a lot of it. Using the blowout tool creates volume and it is SO soft. The curling pieces take a bit to figure out but once you do they’re amazing!!! Recommend wrapping them partway around the barrel then letting the air take over.

I love my shark! i haven’t needed to use my curler or straightener since incorporating this device into my routine. I also love that the attachments aren’t needed and the device can be shifted into just a hair dryer (one of the reasons i didn’t love the dyson). highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing product, and I really love it a lot. I love that I can both dry and style my hair using just one single device. Every part of this works really well, and it makes my hair look awesome.
