Our take on the Shark FlexStyle NextGen IonCurl 5-in-1 Air Styler

The Shark FlexStyle NextGen IonCurl 5-in-1 Air Styler is a multi-styler that dries, curls, smooths and volumizes with one handle and swappable attachments. It competes directly with the Dyson Airwrap, using Coanda airflow to wrap hair around the barrel instead of a hot plate. The IonCurl attachments add ionic frizz control, and the handle bends to switch between a dryer and a styler. It is a strong alternative to the Airwrap at a lower price, though it is bulky and takes practice to master.

Questions and answers

Is the Shark FlexStyle worth it over the Dyson Airwrap?
It costs less and delivers similar Coanda curling, so it is the better value if you want the look without the Airwrap price. The Airwrap is lighter and has more refined attachments, so choose it if budget is not the constraint.
Does it work on straight hair?
Yes, but curls hold less well on very straight, heavy hair. Use the curling attachments on nearly dry hair and finish with cool air to set the shape.
How many attachments are included?
The 5-in-1 set includes a dryer, two curling barrels, a smoothing brush and a volumizing brush. Check the specific bundle, since some sets swap attachments.
Is it good for travel?
The handle folds, which helps, but it is still bulky and heavier than a travel dryer. It is best for trips where you want styling, not just drying.
What is the difference from the original FlexStyle?
The NextGen adds IonCurl ionic attachments for less frizz and static. Otherwise the drying and curling performance is close to the original.
When is it cheapest?
Shark and major retailers discount it around Black Friday and Prime Day, and bundle prices drop when a new model launches. Watch the price history rather than buying at full price.
