The Shark FlexStyle multi-styler has converted a writer with in-between hair from wavy frizz to bouncy sleekness, leaving her Revlon hot brush unused. The tool, priced at £269.99, combines multiple attachments to simplify styling for tricky hair types.
Oval Brush: The Game-Changing Attachment
The oval brush attachment is highlighted as the standout feature. According to Harriet Morphy-Morris, Commerce Content Editor, it takes her hair from wavy, frizzy, and poofy to sleek and full of bounce. The brush reduces frizz gradually, thanks to its mix of synthetic and natural bristles, and dramatically cuts heat damage compared to a standard straightener and roller set-up.
How to Achieve Voluminous Blow-Dry
To achieve a voluminous blow-dry, Morphy-Morris starts by drying her hair damp for grip. She then goes into the bottom section with the oval brush, using upward motion with tension to create bounce. After the bottom is dry, she flips her hair and works on top sections, finishing with small rollers. The entire process takes under 20 minutes, a fraction of the time needed with the Revlon Hotbrush (£37.40), which is slower and less nimble.
Comparison with Dyson AirWrap
The Shark FlexStyle rivals Dyson's AirWrap i.d., which uses Coanda technology for minimal heat damage. Dyson's newest model is on sale at £399, down from £479.99. Meanwhile, the larger FlexStyle with five attachments is available at Argos with 30% off using code ELEC30, reducing the £285 price.
Included Attachments
The Shark FlexStyle Orchid Sunrise kit includes: hairdryer/wand body, 32mm Auto-Wrap Curlers (using Coanda airflow), oval brush (for smoothing and volume), styling concentrator (rotating nozzle), FrizzFighter Finishing Tool (tucks flyaways), and a storage bag.
