I don't understand why the shark didn't put out the longer barrels for curling. I'm sure they did their homework and they would have known that that's where Dyson had to make improvements after the first unit. So I hope that shark will come out with longer barrels for people that have longer hair. As soon as possible so I can get it the only thing that is preventing me from ordering it is that I want and need longer barrels to curl my hair.
That's a good point! The only thing I can think is that they might've had this tool in production already for years, so it would've set back releasing if they reworked the product. I hope they come out with longer barrels too! Or maybe even a dual barrel like the new airwrap 🫢
Most likely because they know they can release a 2nd “improved version” and get more sales that way. It has me wondering if I should wait before even buying this version
Ugh, I just received my ion 4 in 1 after watching your review and now I want this Shark one! I'm so torn! My main issue with the Dyson Air Wrap was that it didn't come with a diffuser - the attachments seem cool, but I have curly hair and I refuse to spend almost $600 on a hair dryer that doesn't have a diffuser. The Ion one has a diffuser and I thought I would just use the Revlon 1-step in lieu of a round brush attachment. Now I see this Shark one has a diffuser AND a round brush, plus the curl barrels. I'm seriously considering returning the Ion one, even though my first impression of it has been great.
Attachments really make or break it for me, too! The Ion Luxe is great as a tool and the diffuser is nice and large. But if it really comes down to it, the Shark FlexStyle has everything I need now, because I also own a Dyson with a diffuser, so I don't need that attachment. If you don't decide to do the FlexStyle, just know the Ion one is still a great option!
Hey Kayla! I can't seem to find where to get the accessories separately because I'm also wanting the diffuser and the paddle brush... do you mind sharing a link?
Great video, I got mines already and just watching for more tips and tricks. Love using mines, the curls are just what I like and it just feels so lux.
How do you think this would compare to their hyper air? I would use the diffuser 90% of the time, so I care the most about the strength of the dryer as opposed to all the attachments!
Hey Lorena! I can't speak on the Hyper Air because I personally have never used it. But as far as blow drying with the FlexStyle goes, I found that it gave me a rough blow dry super quickly. It's definitely a full-powered hair dryer. In comparison to the Dyson, I feel like this is just as strong and can get a little bit hotter!
I currently own the Dyson and love it so much. However, I had to purchase this as well, mainly for the flex. I love to do the beach curl where you use the barrels upside down, but my carpal tunnel kills me with the Dyson. I'm hoping the Shark will be kinder on my wrists since it folds. I am very curious how hot it will get. I love the Dyson for how kind it is to my fragile hair. Also, I got the 10% off after signing up for messages. I ordered yesterday and it has shipped already and tracking says it will be here Monday! I'm excited!
I have this and it’s awesome! The only thing I noticed is while using the cool shot button it sometimes doesn’t cool down. Have you noticed that? Maybe I just have a defective one. Either way I have thick wavy hair and it dried my hair super fast. Love it!
great review video I love how detailed and thought out your observations are about the tool, especially that tip about the back forth motion to smooth it out. I’ve watched other reviews and they also mentioned that the highest heat setting does get pretty hot, is it hotter than the other hair dryers you have? airwrap tries to sell itself with “regulates temperature to stay below 302F” and the revlon brush I heard multiple friends say gets burning hot lol just curious if this shark one is a good in between
Definitely gets hot because I noticed when I got close to the scalp! I had the revlon brush for a long time and I can say that this one definitely doesn't heat up and smoke the same way that one did 😐🤣 the great thing about the FlexStyle is that you have 3 heat options you can choose from to make you the most comfortable!
Both are definitely great and curl the hair well! Lots of differences, like orientation of the device as well as cool shot feature though. I think both price points justify what you get. I might make a video outlining all the pros and cons!
Hey I have a question regarding the heat. Is the temperature very hot to the point where you have to stop because it’s burning your head? Is it manageable? Let me know!
I’m not her, but it does get pretty hot. I use the highest setting for both heat and fan (and heat protectant). If you hold it to close to your ear, it will start to feel hot for a few seconds until you press the cool button!
No case, just comes in a regular box. But in the comments, someone mentioned you can buy a case on Amazon. The ones meant for the Revlon blow dry brush or the dyson airwrap ones
I have been researching the Shark quite a lot. All attachements are available for purchase separately for $29.95each (the concentrator is $24.95). You can set them in the replacement parts and accessories section of Sharks site. They also have brushes, clips for sectioning, and a non-slip mat there.
@UCa6u38xzn_G9b-irQoOnERQ hi! So the two pre-determined kids come with 4 attachments- the only difference is one is with the paddle brush and one is the diffuser! If you opt for the build your own kit, you only pick 3 attachments! I got the kit meant for straight/wavy hair!
Nice video! I have the dyson supersonic hairdryer and have curly hair. I love how powerful it is and quickly diffuses my hair. How does the strength of this flex style hairdryer compare to the dyson hairdryer? Could I replace my dyson hairdryer with this?
I have the hairdryer too and I’d say so far, the shark dries my hair slightly faster. I love this because it also has the ability to curl my hair or round brush it out, unlike the Dyson hairdryer! But both are amazing quality-wise 😊
@@ByKristinaStudio amazing! So when using this as a regular dryer it dries faster or do you mean when using it with the styling attachments? I wanna have one thing that I can use to quickly dry my hair on days I don't want to style, but also if I want to curl or do blowout I can use the attachments
@@kolsumaaktar4940 it dries it fast as a hair dryer! I made a tiktok the first time I used it and legit it dried my hair to probably around 85%-90% dry in less than 2 minutes 🫢 but it was just a rough dry, no styling!
Just ordered today and signed up for the 10% off but when I tried to use it there was an error saying the item didn't qualify so I think they changed the ability to use that unfortunately. It's still a great price either way though! :)
Can i use with 220 v or which volt that it’s available because now I’m in USA and i want to buy it if i can use in my country, pls give answer I wanna know very much! Pls pls pls 😢
$269.99 each for the two pre made packages for straight to wavy, and from wavy to curly hair, both with four attachments each. $249.99 to build your own 3 attachment package. All attachments are available on their own as well for an additional cost. All prices before taxes and shipping.
Will you be picking up the new FlexStyle? Let me know your thoughts!
ordered today and I'm so excited to get it ☺️
Yay! Let me know what you think about it!

I have hip length hair and these barrels work for me. I wouldn't let that hold you back unless your hair is longer than classic length
Cum

@@thewooflingdiva do you think is this gonna work with over my butt hair length?!
Nice! I hope they come out with a fabulous flat iron too. I am so over Dyson because shark is really bringing it with the flex style.
That would be amazing!

The curls came out great! 😍 I’m so glad shark came out with this product!
Same here!!
You can also get the attachments separately! I wanted both the diffuser and the paddle brush, so I was able to just buy it in addition 😁
Ah that’s perfect then!

Love that it worked out for you!
Thank you for such a great and informative review!! Definitely what I needed before purchasing this!!👏🏼🤩
So glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏼
i just got mine and i love it so much. can literally do a blowout in like 20 minutes
Yessss love that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is it true that after straightening your hair with shark it will get frizzy ?
@@sansuad8908 I think that depends on your hair type and what products you use
How do you think this would compare to their hyper air? I would use the diffuser 90% of the time, so I care the most about the strength of the dryer as opposed to all the attachments!

How does the FlexStyle compare to the Dyson? I adore my Dyson, but this one is teeeempting

Yes I talk about this in my video! The air isn’t “cool” it just seems to be “cooler”? Hahah it’s like warm!

Same!!
i havent this new shark but i do have the t3 airbrush and all cons are the same. its not cold enough and so on like you said. good review
I’ve never used T3 but I’ve always been drawn to them!

I have ulta points and could get the Dyson. Hypothetically - if this is avail at ULTA - which one should I get? Thanks
I have Ulta points too but I still opted for the Shark 🫢 I just ultimately really didn't want to use them all on one product
@@ByKristinaStudio lol gotcha! Will follow your lead. Thank you again. ☺️
@@MissGDC Of course! Would love to hear your thoughts if you end up getting either one! 🫶
@@ByKristinaStudio thanks and wish you more subs!
pretty:) i'm excited to get mine!!!
What is the length of the curl barrel? I can’t seem to find that spec anywhere.
It's 5"! Not including the cool touch top :)
What packaging does this come in? Like does it have a case sport of
No case, just comes in a regular box. But in the comments, someone mentioned you can buy a case on Amazon. The ones meant for the Revlon blow dry brush or the dyson airwrap ones
What do you do to maintain these curls while you sleep?
I sleep on a silk pillowcase! And some nights I’ll wear a silk cap. I have the brand Grace Eleyae
@@ByKristinaStudio Thank You!
Can you buy attachments separately, if you misplaced one, that has happened to me before with the straightening attachment.
I don't see an option to buy only the attachments, but someone in the comments said you could!
@@ByKristinaStudio thanks for replying so quickly

I honestly have no idea. If anything I believe you can buy a converter?
Can you please tell me what the heat settings are? In Fahrenheit
Hey Tiffany! I actually couldn't find that information anywhere.
Thanks!
No problem!
What's the price
Depends which kit you get! Mine was $261 after tax because I used a coupon

Does anyone know if its possible to get in Europe as well (not Uk)? Cant find it anywhere so I guess no? :(
