The Shark FlexStyle Special Edition Air Styling and Drying System is Shark’s answer to the Dyson Airwrap, currently discounted on Amazon. The 2-in-1 design combines a hair dryer with attachments that use airflow to curl, smooth, and shape your hair into salon-style looks at home. The Special Edition bundles the FlexStyle with a set of attachments for different hair types and finishes. Whether you’re going for a sleek blowout, defined curls, or added volume, you can do it all with one device instead of rotating through three or four separate styling tools.
An affordable hair styling tool that can give you salon-perfect hair
The FlexStyle relies on airflow rather than direct heat to style your hair. The curl barrels wrap each section automatically, eliminating the manual section-and-twist of a traditional curling iron. The brush attachments smooth or add volume using directed airflow, not heated plates pressed against the hair. The result is less heat damage during daily styling and a finish that holds without overworking your hair.
The Special Edition features several attachments. The auto-wrap curling rod creates defined curls and waves, the brush adds body or straightens hair, and the concentrator nozzle lets you focus airflow on specific areas when used as a traditional blower. All attachments are connected to the same base, allowing quick switching between functions without waiting for an attachment to cool.
Using the FlexStyle is pretty intuitive after the first session. Start with the concentrator to rough-dry your hair, then switch to the curl barrels or brushes to finish. Styling is done solely through airflow, so holding a section of hair near the barrel is enough to set the shape. Total styling time tends to be shorter than going from a separate dryer to a curling iron.
It should be noted, though, that the FlexStyle works best on damp hair, not fully wet or fully dry, so plan to use it after rough-toweling. If you have thick or textured hair, it’ll take more passes to set than with fine or straight hair. This is because the FlexStyle relies on airflow rather than higher heat. And while the temperatures are gentler than a metal-plate curling iron, this isn’t a no-heat tool, so a heat protectant is still worth using.
The Shark FlexStyle Special Edition delivers airflow-based styling, and this $200 deal puts it well within reach for anyone who didn’t want to drop premium-brand money on a multi-styler. If you’ve been waiting for a serious price drop to make the jump, the $130 off makes now a good time to do it before the markdown disappears.
