The Shark FlexStyle 2-In-1 Hair Dryer & Styler Just Arrived In M'sia. Is It Slay Or Nay?
This sleek two-in-one tool combines a blow dryer with five styling attachments into one compact device.
I recently got my hands on the Shark FlexStyle, two in one hair dryer & styler. And needless to say, I was super excited to test it out — lesgo!
If you're like me, you probably spend hours scrolling and admiring the effortless, bouncy hair of influencers on social media. And it seems so easy when they use various stylers and tools to do up their hair, but is it really feasible for the everyday consumer?
As it turns out, getting those enviable results might be simpler than imagined. With the right tools — such as the Shark FlexStyle — and proper techniques, achieving salon-worthy hair at home is definitely within reach.
First impressions, the Shark FlexStyle looked absolutely pretty and came with a range of versatile attachments
This sleek two-in-one tool combines a hair dryer with five styling attachments into one compact device. The package includes two Easy-Wrap Curlers, a Paddle Brush, a Round Brush, a FrizzFighter Finishing Tool, and a Styling Concentrator, offering everything you need to style your hair with ease.
The Shark FlexStyle is a standout choice for hair care. It features Coanda Technology, which measures the temperature 1,000 times per second to ensure consistent air temperatures and minimise heat damage. With its powerful airflow and gentle heat technology, it helps reduce hair damage compared to traditional styling tools. Priced at RM1,799, it also comes with a two-year warranty.
The Shark FlexStyle main unit is lightweight at just 700g and offers powerful drying performance
It features a versatile design that allows you to switch between Dryer Mode (bent) and Styler Mode (straight) with ease. It comes with adjustable temperature settings (low, medium, high) and a Cool Shot Button that delivers cold airflow to help set your hairstyle and make it last longer. Airflow settings are also adjustable to suit your styling needs.
1. FrizzFighter Finishing Tool
The FrizzFighter Finishing Tool is specifically designed to polish and smoothen flyaways and frizz, giving your hair a sleek and shiny finish. Simply run the tool gently across the surface of your hair to smooth out any frizz — there is no need to press it against your head. Use the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool to banish frizz and achieve a shiny, glossy finish.
Pro-Tip: Gently run the tool across the surface of your hair to deal with flyaways and frizz — there's no need to press it against your head.
2. Styling Concentrator
The Styling Concentrator attachment is perfect for styling and drying your hair simultaneously. It makes the process convenient and efficient, allowing you to achieve salon-like results at home.
3. Easy-Wrap Curlers
The Shark FlexStyle's Easy-Wrap Curlers were one of the highlights for me. Instead of those hot plates that always seem to overheat, the Easy-Wrap Curlers use air to wrap your hair around the barrel. The set includes two curlers — one for the right side and one for the left.
One curler twists in one direction, while the other twists in the opposite direction, ensuring even curls on both sides. As a beginner, it took me a bit of practice to perfect the curls.
But once I got the hang of it, it was easy. I just divided my hair into a few parts and curled small sections. After holding each curl for a few seconds, finish by pressing the cool shot button for 10 seconds. This step locks in your curls, ensuring they stay perfect and last longer.
My hair felt amazing afterwards — soft, shiny, and with great curls. Definitely impressed!
3. Paddle Brush and Round Brush
The Paddle Brush is designed to give you sleek, straight hair. I separated my hair into sections and brushed from the roots.
I prefer loose waves or curls, so I twisted the brush off my hair when I removed it. If you're looking for a quick fix on bad hair days, this brush really does wonders. In just 10 minutes, my hair transformed into a voluminous, soft blowout with gentle curls at the ends.
While the Paddle Brush is ideal for straightening, the Round Brush is for achieving voluminous hair. The brush is compact and easy to use. Plus, it definitely gave my bangs and fringe a fuller look.
But here's a tip — lower the airflow on your dryer to prevent frizz and flyaways.
Pro-Tip: To add curls or create a natural straight look with a slight curl, place the Round Brush under the ends of your hair and roll it towards the roots. Twist the hair off the brush to release the curl.
Final verdict, the Shark FlexStyle is practical and easy to use, even if you don't have a lot of experience styling your hair
With just one tool, you can create bouncy curls, waves, or silky-smooth straight hair. What I love is that it dries and styles simultaneously with minimal heat damage, leaving my hair incredibly soft, shiny, and smooth — results I usually only get from a salon visit.
I'm so confident with this tool in hand, and it's budget-friendly too. From date nights to special events, this tool is indeed one blowout away from perfection.
After trying it for two weeks, one thing I would recommend is to use it on damp hair and always apply heat protectant. To make curls last longer, try using mousse or curl cream, hehe (thank me later).
