Is the Shark FlexStyle worth it?

Yes if you want Airwrap-style drying and curling for about half the price. Skip it if weight matters most or you mainly diffuse curly hair, since the diffuser costs extra.

How does it compare to the Dyson Airwrap?

It does the same dry-and-style job for less money and has dual voltage, which the Airwrap lacks. The Airwrap is lighter and feels more premium.

Does it work on curly hair?

The tool handles all hair types, but the diffuser for curly hair is sold separately. Budget for that attachment if you plan to diffuse.

Yes. It has dual voltage, but you still need the correct plug adapter for the country you visit.

The FlexStyle handle with its standard styling attachments; the curly-hair diffuser is not included. Check the listing for the exact attachment set before buying.

It was $199 at Shark's own store as of November 3. Air stylers typically drop during Black Friday and holiday sales, so watch price history around then.
