Shark's new hair styling tool is going viral on TikTok – here's our review of it *affiliate
Dyson’s Airwrap hair styling tool was a groundbreaking piece of technology when it launched four years ago. Since then there has been no end of tips shared on how to achieve the same look as the pricey gadget for less, from copycat tools to DIY hair tricks, but none have really come close to knocking the Airwrap off the hot tools hotspot – that is until now.
The FlexStyle starts off as a hair dryer, then twist it around into a wand and you can click in one of the attachments: blow-dry nozzle, paddle brush, oval brush, diffuser and – arguably the main attraction – two curling wands, which automatically pick up the hair and wrap it around the barrel to create shape. Use on 80% dry hair, hold the wand in place for 10 seconds before blasting with the cold shot button to set the style.
Laura’s review of the Shark FlexStyle I love how clever the Dyson Airwrap is, but as someone who has never really mastered using it , I was keen to see if I would perform better with Shark’s new one. The hair dryer delivers a powerful blast for its small size, getting right into the roots. The curlers take all the arm manoeuvres out of creating bouncy waves. And the round brush is great for shaping my grown-out fringe. I personally wouldn’t use the diffuser attachment nor the smoothing paddle brush, but I can see myself reaching for the other three tools every time I style my hair.
