Let me start by saying: I’ve never been good at doing my hair. Round brushes? Tangled mess. Curling irons? Burned fingers. But the Shark FlexStyle? This thing is magic.

First up: SPEED. My thick hair usually takes 30+ minutes to dry. With the FlexStyle’s oval brush attachment? 15 minutes flat, with salon-level volume. The auto-wrap curlers are GENIUS—though pro tip: mist sections with water before curling for longer hold (learned that the hard way).

HEAT CONTROL is where Shark outshines Dyson (yes, I said it). While testing, I accidentally left it running on my counter for 5 minutes—no scorching smell or overheating. The 1,000x/second temp regulation works; my fine hair didn’t fry even on medium heat.

Real talk about the ATTACHMENTS: The paddle brush gives straighter-than-my-life-choices smoothness, while the oval brush adds volume even my flat roots can’t resist. Only gripe? The curling barrels are SHORT. As someone with waist-length hair, I’m begging Shark for longer options.

Travel win: Folded flat, it fit in my carry-on with room for shoes. Used it lakeside with zero frizz—take that, humidity!

After 2 months? I’ve used it 4x weekly. Zero regrets. If you want salon results without the skill (or patience), this is your holy grail. Just don’t blame me when strangers ask where you get your blowouts.
