Is the Shark FlexStyle worth it over the Dyson Airwrap?

It costs far less and curls in much the same way. The Airwrap has stronger airflow and more attachment options, so pick it if you have thick hair or want maximum hold.

Does the single barrel mean I can only make one curl size?

Yes. This kit ships with one barrel, so curl size is fixed. Other FlexStyle kits and separate attachments add smaller or larger barrels.

How does the IonCurl differ from the standard FlexStyle?

The IonCurl adds ion output to reduce static and frizz. Otherwise the bending body and Coanda airflow work the same way.

Will it work on thick or coarse hair?

It can, but curls tend to loosen faster and need more product or a hotter setting. Many thick-haired users prefer a clamp curling iron for hold.

What comes in the box?

The standard HD800 kit includes the FlexStyle body and one curling barrel in lilac. Confirm the attachment list on the listing, since bundles vary.

Shark and major retailers discount it around Black Friday and Prime Day. Prices also dip when a newer FlexStyle model launches.

Our take on the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Air Styler & Curler HD800

The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl is a hot-air multi-styler that bends from a straight dryer into a curling and volumizing tool. It uses Coanda airflow to wrap hair around the barrel instead of a clamp, and the IonCurl adds ion output to cut frizz. It is Shark's answer to the Dyson Airwrap at a lower price. The lilac HD800 is a single-barrel standard kit, so check which attachments are in the box before buying.
