Multi-styling hair tools have become all the rage in recent years and it's not hard to see why. They can help to execute a plethora of fresh-from-the-salon looks with a single device, and in doing so they save you storage space and a pretty penny, too. Of the many out there (and I mean many), Dyson's famous Airwrap is famed as the original multi-styler, the OG that transformed the at-home hairstyling scene.
And then there's the Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer. As a clever piece of kit that delivers salon quality results and is now 20% off in the Amazon Prime Day sale. Usually £279.99, you can pick up the brilliant buy for £224.72.
Having garnered a loyal legion of TikTok fans and proved its mettle in their videos, the Shark FlexStyle ranks among the best Amazon Prime Day beauty deals you're likely to be able to get your hands on this week. Renowned hair stylist Chris Appleton, famed for his work with Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, is so devoted to the tool and brand that he recently became a global ambassador.
The Shark Flexstyle might be one of the brand's older models (the Shark FlexFusion and SmoothStyle are more recent additions to the line) but it continues to be highly coveted even three years since hitting shelves – just look to today's 5,000% spike in Google searches as your proof. This piece of kit is in demand.
Armed with five styling attachments, the Shark Flexstyle promises to curl, straighten, volumise, smooth, and define hair, taking your lengths from wet to dry with minimal heat damage.
Our honest thoughts on the Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I love my Dyson Airwrap but I'm also now wedded to the Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer, too. While it is certainly heavier and bit more clunky than my Airwrap, it achieves near identical results. Bouncy blow out, cascading curls, super smooth finish, a sleek and straight look, you name it, the Shark FlexStyle has helped me to create it. Considering that it does all the above and still comes in at almost half the price of the OG multi-styler, it's definitely a styler that's worth your consideration, particularly given that it's in the Amazon Prime Day sale this week.'
Rachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'I honestly think the Shark is worth making a play for – especially as the discount is so impressive for Amazon Prime Day. I find the tool simple to use and can easily flit between hairstyles - I'll go for straight and sleek one day, and wear it curly and voluminous the next. And let's have a moment for the oval brush attachment in particular -it’s become my holy grail of haircare. It’s made with a combination of boar and plastic bristles and makes light work of de-frizzing the halo of shorter hairs that sit around my hairline. Since incorporating this one into my routine the compliments have come reeling in, and my hair looks healthy and shiny. Of course, sale or not, it is still an investment. But truly? I’d make it in a heartbeat.’ Read her full review here.
