I was never going to buy the $600 Dyson Airwrap<\/a>. To be perfectly honest, I only considered the Shark FlexStyle<\/a> when I saw that Chris Appleton was working with them. To me, that legitimized Shark as a beauty company. I was also motivated to buy the FlexStyle by my own personal hair frustration.<\/p>\n

I don’t mean to complain, as I am very thankful, but my hair is very thick and heavy. When I wear a high ponytail for too long, it gives me a headache. It’s very wavy on the bottom and very straight on top. It tangles often because there’s so much of it. It feels overwhelming lately and I wanted a tool or method that could help me regain some control.<\/p>\n

This all led me to purchasing the Shark FlexStyle<\/a>. I paid $299 and though this post does use affiliate links, I have no relationship with Shark Beauty. <\/p>\n

I’ll rate the attachments below and how useful, or not, I find them to be. I’ll also include photos of my freshly styled hair and note which attachments were used. <\/p>\n

The ability to bend into a traditional dryer shape gives the Shark FlexStyle a serious advantage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Before styling, of course I prepped my hair with heat protectant, JVN Blowout Milk<\/a>. Do not skip that part and try to raw dog this.<\/p>\n

Styling Concentrator<\/h2>\n

When using the FlexStyle <\/a>as a traditional blow dryer, the concentrator is nice for aiming the air at the roots. It also helps to minimize frizz by controlling the flow of air. When using the Shark FlexStyle as a traditional dryer, I definitely prefer to use the concentrator. <\/p>\n

Despite feeling like a small dryer in the hand, I was surprised at how quickly this does a rough dry. You’ll definitely want to do that before going in with any other attachments. <\/p>\n

Oval Brush<\/h2>\n

If you’re familiar with the Revlon dry brush<\/a>, you’ll feel right at home using the Shark Flexstyle<\/a> Oval Brush attachment. It allows you to create the tension needed to smooth out texture like waves and even curls. If you have natural texture you need to blow out, this attachment is a must.<\/p>\n

This attachment not only smoothes but creates some serious volume when used near the root.<\/p>\n

Paddle Brush<\/h2>\n

I rarely wear my hair sleek and straight so will likely use this attachment the least. That being said, if super straight is your thing, it does a great job, and fairly easily at that. While you cannot create the type of tension you can with the oval brush attachment, you can use it below and on top of each section interchangeably to smooth. If you have a chic bob haircut, I think this would be quite useful for you.<\/p>\n

I do wish that it had a bit longer bristles, but that is a result of me having very thick hair.<\/p>\n

Rough dry, paddle brush<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If you’re looking to create bouncy volume at the root, I don’t think this is your best attachment. If you prefer your hair to lay more closely to your head, smooth and sleek, I found this very easy to use.<\/p>\n

1.25″ Auto-Wrap Curlers<\/h2>\n

These are the perfect size and I can’t imagine wanting the smaller barrel size unless I cut my hair shorter. These incorporate a technology called the coanda effect, which uses hair to grabs the hair, allowing you to then wind it around the rod.<\/p>\n

It takes some practice to master the curling mechanism, but not much. Taking small sections will help the coanda effect to do it’s job best. Also, make sure you still have some moisture in the hair. You want to form the hair in a curl shape, which doesn’t work if it’s already dry.<\/p>\n
