Confirmed: The Complete Shark FlexStyle Set Is Worth the Price

I'm no stranger to testing out a trend. I've been a loyal Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer girl since the beginning (and for full transparency, I still use one on occasion), but when TikTok and influencers alike upgraded to the $600 Dyson Airwrap, I had to decline. While my hair's important to me, I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much money. (Plus, my roommate owns one, and I get to use it at my leisure.) I knew there had to be something else out there like it, and finally, I can confirm there is.

The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System ($358) is my new go-to for styling my hair, and it's less than half the price of its competitors.

The tool regulates its temperature to prevent heat damage, and you can customize it for your specific hair type before buying. The set comes a diffuser, a styling concentrator, a wide-tooth comb attachment, two auto-wrap curlers, a paddle brush attachment, a round brush attachment, and four styling clips. Keep reading for why I think it's worth every penny.

The Shark FlexStyle transforms from a blow dryer into a hair styler. This is something I personally love because I like to get my hair almost completely dry before I style it. It has a button that allows it to rotate from its blow-dryer shape back into a styling wand, and from there you can use one of its attachments to get your desired result. As someone who was a heavy Revlon user, I personally use its oval brush to style my hair straight, and it does a great job. It's powerful and fast, and it uses low heat to style my hair.

Another point to make about the FlexStyle is that it includes four heat and three airflow settings that can be increased or decreased. In other words, if you're feeling too hot, you can adjust the temperature down as you go. It's truly an all-in-one hair tool that can be used for any occasion, and you can even personalize it by choosing three attachments that you believe you'd use most.

The Shark FlexStyle is about the same size as the Airwrap. The system in total comes with three attachments, as well as a styling concentrator so that you can better dry your hair. It works amazing on my wavy, medium-length hair, and it works even better if you dampen your hair with a little water before use. (I use a spray bottle.) My only qualm is that the FlexStyle doesn't come with a bag, which makes it kind of difficult to store. Of course, that's not a huge deal, but it's something to keep in mind.

If you've been wanting an all-in-one styler for an affordable price, this is for you. It is built for all hair types and doesn't cause heat damage. There is even a diffuser attachment, which is great for curly or wavy hair.

The Shark FlexStyle is absolutely worth the money in my opinion. It's pretty to look at and easy to use, and it can curl, volumize, smooth, and dry your hair — what more can you ask for?

The seven-piece Shark FlexStyle is available on the brand's site and Amazon. Choose between the Shark FlexStyle for Straight & Wavy Hair ($240, originally $300), which comes with two AutoWrap curlers, a paddle brush, an oval brush, and a styling concentrator, or the styler for curly and coily hair ($245, originally $300), which comes with two AutoWrap curlers, a curl defining diffuser, an oval brush, and a styling concentrator.
