The Mova Master Hair Styler, priced at £229, has proven to be a budget-friendly alternative to premium brands like Dyson and Shark, delivering bouncy, frizz-free waves that mimic results from far more expensive tools. Harriet Morphy-Morris, Commerce Content Editor, tested the device and found it produced curls that looked as though she had spent over £500 on a Dyson AirWrap.
First Impressions and Key Features
The Mova Master comes with 10 attachments, including two auto-wrap barrels, a fly-away smooth hair essence air comb, a diffuser, a styling concentrator, a hair dryer, and a volumising brush. It also includes an elegant leather storage case, a feature not always offered by premium brands.
Weighing just 292g for the base unit, the tool is remarkably lightweight, making it easy to style upper sections of hair without arm fatigue. The device uses a 110,000 RPM motor, which significantly reduces frizz during drying.
Comparison with Shark FlexStyle
In a side-by-side test, the Mova Master outperformed the Shark FlexStyle in curl quality, though it had a minor drawback of occasionally catching hair, a known issue mentioned in online reviews. The Shark FlexStyle, priced at £249.99, includes two Coanda Auto Wrap curlers, but the Mova's auto-wrap barrels created soft curls in under 30 minutes that held all day and into the evening.
The styling concentrator offers a powerful, rapid blow-dry, though it doesn't completely prevent puffiness. Overall, the Mova Master is an excellent choice for those seeking salon-worthy results at a lower cost, and it makes a great gift for teenagers experimenting with styling tools.
