Does it really curl without heat damage?

It styles with ion-powered airflow rather than hot plates, so hair is exposed to far less direct heat. Scalp Shield Mode lowers the temperature near the roots.

How does it compare with the Dyson Airwrap?

Both dry and auto-wrap curls. The FlexStyle includes a polisher and oval brush and costs less, while the Airwrap is slimmer and has more attachment options.

The dryer/styler handle, two 1.25-inch auto-wrap curlers, a FrizzFighter polisher, an oval brush and a styling concentrator.

Will it work on thick or curly hair?

Shark designs it for all hair types and textures. Thick hair may need higher airflow and more time per section.

How do I get curls to last longer?

Wrap small sections, hold each until warm, then use the cool-air burst to set the curl before releasing.

About the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Air Drying, Curling and Styling System

The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl is an air drying, curling and styling system. It uses ion-powered airflow to dry and style hair with no heat damage. It is designed for all hair types and textures.

The system produces 200 million negative ions, which reduce frizz and boost shine for up to 24 hours. CoandaBoost technology automatically wraps hair around the curler for bouncier, more defined curls. Scalp Shield Mode adjusts the temperature to protect hair growth from excessive heat.

The AirSet button pauses the airflow while you style when you double tap it. Hold the button for a burst of cool air.
