If you're on BeautyTok, you've probably heard content creators raving about the Shark FlexStyle ($300), a more affordable alternative to a major competitor's version (IYKYK). It features a built-in hairdryer, two brushes (an oval one for bouncy blowouts and a paddle brush for smooth hair), a concentrator for targeted drying, and auto-wrap curlers. Read more by checking out our complete review of the Shark FlexStyle.
What we love:
- One of the best features of the Shark FlexStyle is that the device transforms into a blow dryer (no attachment required — you just press a button, and it folds down), which is super convenient given that it's important your hair is *mostly* dry before using it. We also love how you can "build your own" on the brand's website, which means you can choose three styling attachments that best suit your unique styling needs.
Who it's best for:
- The Shark FlexStyle is best for those looking for an all-in-one heat styler at a reasonable price point.
Who should avoid it:
- This may be obvious (sorry), but if your main priority is achieving that classic bouncy blowout look, a more traditional hot air brush will likely do the trick. (See: the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer, the L'ange Hair Le Volume Black 60mm, and the Drybar Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush.)
