I LOVE my shark flexstyle; however, the curling feature does not give good curls at all. They fall out very quickly, and my hair holds curl quite well! But what it DOES do is give you a nice blowout with tons of body, and those curling attachments achieve that look to the max. I personally love it and use the round brush attachment daily. It's also very nice as a regular hair dryer.
Shark HyperAir Hair Dryer with IQ 2-in-1 Concentrator & Styling Brush
The Shark HyperAir measures air temperature 1,000 times per second for precision heat control and includes both an IQ 2-in-1 concentrator for styling and an IQ volumizing brush attachment, making it a strong alternative to the Dyson Supersonic at a fraction of the price. Available on Amazon.ca (ASIN B09BKJMNYX) at around $229 CAD.

The shark is just ok. You can kinda do curls with it but I have fine hair and they fall out pretty quickly no matter what products I use. I would not repurchase
I like the FlexStyle, but I wouldn't buy another one. My primary complaints are how loud the thing is and the gap between the body and tools, which snags my hair... The brush attachments work well, but pull my hair and cause breakage. All in all, I'm underwhelmed.
i also got the shark blow dryer as a gift and ended up loving it for my shoulder length fine hair. if something happened to it i'd def purchase a new one with my own money
I love my Shark flex style!! It makes it so easy to give yourself a blow out. You can go more curly or straight with your chosen attachment. To me, totally worth it!
I bought the shark flex style. I have thin hair but a lot of it and it's kind of wavy straight and that flex styler sucks. Seriously makes my hair so frizzy no matter what temp and air flow combos I do. Even though it's more expensive than my old blow dryer and Revlon hot brush those are the two I reach for instead.
โ What Works
- Praised as a strong everyday blow dryer, giving a full blowout with body via the round-brush attachment
- One owner says they would repurchase it for daily use on fine hair
โ ๏ธ Worth Knowing
- Curling attachments reportedly do not hold curl well on fine hair, with one owner saying they would not repurchase for that use
- Sample is now just 3 mentions from a single thread, not broad ownership feedback
This page's score previously drew from one Reddit thread (6 mentions, all from a single r/finehair discussion), now capped to the 3 highest-upvoted, sentiment-spread comments from that thread. All three touch on the same theme: as a curling tool on fine hair, curls fall out quickly, with one owner saying they would not repurchase for that reason; but the same mixed comment and a separate positive one both say it excels as a standard blow dryer and round-brush styler, giving a full, long-lasting blowout with body. So the pattern in this small sample is consistent โ strong as a dryer/blowout tool, weak as a curling tool for fine hair โ but it's still only 3 comments from one thread. Treat this as directional, not a confirmed verdict, and note the previous 7.9 didn't reflect this specific fine-hair curling limitation at all.
