What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is the Shark FlexStyle worth it over the Dyson Airwrap?

At $199.00 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, it costs roughly half the Airwrap. It dries faster and curls almost as well for most hair types; the Airwrap has better curl hold and a more refined finish.

Does it work on thick or long hair?

It can, but auto-wrap curls hold best on fine to medium hair. On thick or long hair, use smaller sections, start damp and finish with cool air to set the curl.

What is in the box?

The HD442JR set includes the dryer/styler handle and interchangeable attachments for drying, curling and smoothing. Exact attachment count varies by bundle, so check the listing before buying.

How does it compare to the original Shark FlexStyle?

The HD442JR is a color variant of the same FlexStyle platform, so performance and attachments match other HD440-series models. Buy whichever color or bundle is cheapest.

Is $199.00 a good price?

It is the only price recorded since November 2, 2026, so there is no lower mark to compare against. The FlexStyle often sells between $200 and $250, so $199.00 sits at the low end.

Can I use it on wet hair?

Yes. Use the dryer or concentrator on damp hair first, then switch to the curlers when hair is about 80 percent dry for the best hold.
