What is the Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer?
The Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 is a complete hair drying and styling system that has six interchangeable tools, which include two interchangeable curl attachments depending on the direction of the curl, a concentrated smoother, a curl diffuser, a paddle brush and a volumising oval brush.
The nozzle has an option to rotate and transform from a styling wand to a traditionally-shaped hairdryer. It has three heat and airflow settings, as well as a cool shot button, and uses “auto-wrap” technology to attract the hair around the curl barrels for hassle-free styling.
The viral tool became popular on TikTok as an alternative to another air styler that uses similar technology, with many online users drawing comparisons to the Dyson Airwrap.
How we test hot brushes
A versatile hot brush that can quickly dry and style my hair in one is key. I’m after a healthy and long-lasting look that is easily achievable and can be done in a hurry if necessary.
I’ll evaluate how user-friendly the tool is by considering its convenience and whether I prefer it over my other hairstyling devices at home. I’ll also take into account the overall design – focusing on both aesthetics and functionality as well as essential safety features – and finally the finished style, condition of my hair and how it holds up over time.
