The Shark FlexStyle hair system (priced at £219.99) brings a fresh take on multi-styling tools with its cool tech and smart design
The device comes with a neat carry-case thats divided into sections for its six attachments: two curl makers‚ smoothing tip‚ wave helper‚ flat brush and round brush. Its special feature - a turning nozzle that switches between styler and dryer - makes it stand out from other similar tools
- 32mm auto-wrap barrels for clockwise curls
- Concentrated smoother nozzle
- Curl-enhancing diffuser
- Paddle brush attachment
- Volume-boosting oval brush
- Anti-clockwise curl barrel
The tools weight (700g) isnt heavy but its wide handle makes it a bit tricky to hold for long periods. The buttons placement needs some getting used to - theyʼre spread out which means youʼll need to feel around while styling
The hair-drying process is quick with good results; the paddle brush doesnt grip super tight but using your hand to hold hair works fine. The auto-wrap tech pulls hair around the barrel making nice curls - though youʼll need to switch attachments for different curl directions. The highest heat setting reaches 203C but the tool checks temperature 1000 times each second for safety
Final styling results show smooth shiny hair thats dried fast - better than regular blow-drying. The curls look bouncy at first but might drop after an hour without product. The long cord and cool-touch features make it safe to use‚ and the lock button keeps attachments secure while styling
