Great offer – “4-star” Shark FlexStyle hair dryer for 159.99 euros (-20%)

American Shark unveiled its first styler at IFA 2022. Sometimes a hair dryer, sometimes a curling iron, FlexStyle uses the Coanda effect to shape hair. Another advantage of this styler: its price positioning is significantly lower than that of its main competitor, the Dyson Airwrap.

The Shark FlexStyle is a very serious competitor to the Dyson Airwrap. The swivel head and numerous attachments make it a universal device: sometimes a hair dryer, sometimes a styler. Accessories attach without problems, the device is made with high quality. In tests, the FlexStyle has proven to have excellent control and is able to produce consistent heat without causing any harmful effects on the hair. Its airflow has a wide spectrum and is suitable for all hair types. On the other hand, we regret the poorly placed and not very ergonomic controls, as well as the high-pitched noise that is more than a little annoying.

Significant Arguments

• Dries and styles hair.
• Many accessories that make the device more than versatile.
• Good temperature control, without clothing or with accessories.
• High quality hairdryer, easy to use.

Weak points

• A shrill noise that quickly becomes unbearable.
• Inconvenient controls located too far from the hand.

Note. Reported price reductions are calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all sellers for an item in the previous month, with safety rules excluding prices from stores whose VAT policies are unclear (so-called “grey” stores tend to in case of import from China).

Alternatively

At the Air Brilliance salon, Babyliss offers a high-quality hairdryer and puts effort into finishing the hair. The airflow is powerful no matter which tip you choose, and the controlled heat doesn’t expose your hair to too much heat. The controls are clear, but only for right-handers… Its silhouette and weight also spoil the overall impression of the device. That being said, the Salon Air Brilliance is a high-performance hair dryer that poses no real risk to the Babyliss.
