A salon-quality blowout from the comfort of your bathroom? That’s the promise of this hair dryer. So, does it deliver? Here’s my unfiltered opinion.
When it comes to hair styling tools, I’m not easily impressed. I’ve always had very thick, straight hair. It’s a combination that might seem enviable to some, but it comes with its own set of challenges. For instance, after washing, it’s not uncommon for my hair to puff up and become undefined. And trying to keep curls for more than 30 minutes? Let’s not even go there—it’s practically impossible (and I’m barely exaggerating).
Let’s be honest: most days, I can’t be bothered to spend much time styling my hair. Some mornings, I skip brushing altogether—perhaps a sin for a beauty journalist. And when an event is on the horizon, I’m all about a quick 10-minute straightening session. Now that you’ve got a picture of my hair struggles, let’s dive into the real reason you clicked on this article (yes, originally, it wasn’t to hear about my hair woes): the remarkable styling tool. I recently encountered the Shark FlexStyle by Shark Beauty. What is it, you ask? It’s a hair dryer that morphs into a styling tool with five different attachments: two auto-curlers, a flat brush, a round brush, a styling concentrator, and a diffuser for curls. The goal? To dry, curl, or straighten hair using the power of air, thus avoiding thermal damage unlike many other styling tools. Initially, I was skeptical about its effectiveness, but I decided to give it a try. My first experiment with the flat brush was a breeze: it dried and straightened my hair simultaneously. Within minutes, my hair was tame. A definite plus.
The real test, however, was with curls. To give the FlexStyle a fair shot, I sectioned my hair and applied a texturizing product. Initially, it took some practice to get the hair to wrap correctly around the device. The trick? Work with small sections and pinch them between your thumb and index finger to ensure they wrap around the cylinder properly. After 45 minutes of effort and getting the hang of it, I had curls worthy of a red carpet appearance. Even better, they lasted all evening—a true first for my hair.
Well, I must admit, I’m won over by both its effectiveness and ease of use. Whether it’s for a quick blowout before work in the morning or an elaborate evening style, it’s earned a permanent spot in my routine. The downside? It’s not exactly budget-friendly, as it retails for $329.99 on the brand’s website.
