HD430 FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System, Powerful Hair Dryer Brush & Multi-Styler with Auto-Wrap Curlers, Paddle Brush, Oval Brush, Concentrator Attachment, Stone

The Shark FlexStyle exceeded my expectations. It delivers fast drying while leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and healthy-looking. I love its versatility—straighten, add volume, or create effortless waves—all with one sleek tool. It’s practical, user-friendly, and gentle on my hair. While curls may not last all day, it’s perfect for everyday styling and achieving a salon-quality blowout at home.

This is an awesome product. I was a bit skeptical about paying so much for a hair styler, but I got it for 50% off on Black Friday. I was very surprised at how great it worked on my hair - I have curly hair that just gets frizzy if I don't do anything to it. I always used a blow dryer brush, straightening iron, and curling iron to do my hair. I can tell you that the paddle brush attachment smooths my hair out so well (and fast too) - I don't even need a straightening iron any more. The round brush attachment makes great waves if you want a bouncier look. It took me a few trys to master the curling attachments (there is a left and right attachment) - but once I got the hang of it, it became very easy to use. I am very happy with my purchase - definitely worth the investment!

I have fine, long hair. I’ve bleached it, and I’m currently on a mission to healthier hair. I wanted this Shark for a long time, and when I finally caught it on a great Black Friday sale I knew it was meant to be. This product is worth every penny! The blow dryer works at drying so quickly, without overheating my hair. It helps maintain a smoothe look, without having to constantly run a brush through it while drying. The curling tool is phenomenal. It leaves the prettiest, smooth soft curls. I love that the cool setting button is easily accessible. When I set my curls with the cool touch, they last so much longer. The smoothing attachment is great for blowouts or sleek, straight looks. I love the look of my shark, too. It has a little bit of weight to it, but not more than expected. It’s not too loud when it’s on. I’m very happy with this purchase!

The Shark FlexStyle really surprised me. It dries my hair fast, leaves it smooth and shiny, and I love that I can straighten, add volume, or create waves with just one tool. It’s practical, easy to use, and feels gentle on my hair. The only downside is that the curls don’t always last long, but for everyday styling and a nice blowout, it works great.

The blow dryer on the Shark FlexStyle is phenomenal. What really sets it apart is the targeted and purposeful drying. Unlike a traditional blow dryer that creates a full-on wind tunnel, this one allows you to focus on specific sections of your hair without blasting everything else. With regular blow dryers, I always struggled to control my hair—it would fly everywhere and dry with frizz and unwanted waves. The FlexStyle dries powerfully yet calmly, and my hair stays mostly in place instead of whipping around. This alone makes it a standout hair dryer. The curling attachments are interesting but definitely come with a learning curve. There are two separate attachments—one for the right side and one for the left—which pull the hair clockwise to create symmetrical curls on both sides of your head. I have very fine, frizzy hair, but a lot of it. Because of that, I had to use very small sections for the hair to properly wrap around the curling barrel. If you have a lot of hair like I do, expect the curling process to take quite a bit of time. My first curling experience wasn’t great, and I’ll be honest—it’s going to take a while to get the hang of it. I can see the potential, but it’s not intuitive or quick, especially for beginners or those with thicker or fuller hair. The dryer itself is lightweight, which I love, but unfortunately the cord is the biggest downside. It’s very heavy, doesn’t swivel well, and tangles easily. When the dryer is extended with the curling attachment, it becomes quite long and awkward to maneuver. To make it usable, I had to hold the base of the dryer with my unused hand to keep the cord from twisting while curling. The cord alone is frustrating enough that I’m knocking off an entire star—it simply doesn’t function well for styling. I’ve wanted a tool like this for a long time, so I was disappointed that it didn’t check all my boxes. While the curling attachments are challenging and time-consuming, I am genuinely very pleased with the blow dryer itself. If Shark could improve the cord and make the curling attachments more user-friendly, this could easily be a top-tier styling tool.

My daughter has one and I used it once and was so pleased how amazing this hair tool is. 3 days later I ordered one for myself. I love how smooth it makes my hair feel. No static, no frizz and no flyaways. I read a lot of the reviews and some were saying that its loud. Its not as loud as a regular blow dryer. I love how it dried my hair so fast. Oh and the curling tools, love them too. Before this tool, I would blow out my hair with a regular blow dryer and a round brush, then have to straighten my hair out more with a flat iron, then curl it it. Goodbye flat iron! I also read reviews that the tool broke after 1 year, so I decided to buy the protection plan. I have very thick hair and lots of it. No regrets and would recommend buying. We'll worth it.

I finally pulled the trigger on the Shark FlexStyle after eyeing both this and the Dyson Airwrap for a long time, and I’m really glad I did. I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and it’s become a staple in my hair routine. I already owned a Drybar hair dryer with a round brush attachment, so I felt pretty comfortable jumping into this. One of my favorite things about the FlexStyle is the versatility—you can swap out attachments depending on what you’re trying to do, whether that’s smoothing, adding volume, or going for curls. I’ll be honest though—I’m still not perfect at using it yet. During the process, things can look a little messy while I’m styling, especially as I’m working through sections. That said, the end result always turns out good, even if it doesn’t look super polished mid-style. I think it’s more of a learning curve than an actual issue with the tool. Even with that, I still really like it and reach for it often. I’ve also struggled a bit with getting my curls and volume to fully hold, but I realized a lot of that came down to the products I was using. Once I switched things up, it definitely helped, so I think product choice plays a big role with this tool. If you’re trying to achieve that 90s blowout vibe, I actually think this is easier—and maybe even less time-consuming—than using hot rollers. That’s just my personal opinion, but it feels more streamlined once you get into a rhythm. It’s definitely a higher price point, but I do think it’s worth it if you’re going to use it regularly and this is a look you’re consistently trying to achieve. For me, it’s been a solid investment and something I reach for often.

I recently picked up the Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer, and after a few weeks of use, I’m happy to share my thoughts. Here’s my review: Design & Build: The Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer has a sleek, modern design that feels both lightweight and sturdy. The ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold, and the size is perfect for both styling and drying without causing wrist strain. It’s a compact tool that doesn’t feel bulky or awkward to use, which is a huge plus when you’re styling your hair for a longer period. The styling attachments are easy to swap out, which makes it versatile for different hair types and looks. I also appreciate the fact that it doesn’t take up too much space—whether you’re storing it in a drawer or leaving it out on the counter, it’s not overly large compared to other hair tools. Performance & Drying Power: When it comes to drying, the Shark Freestyle does an excellent job. It has multiple heat and speed settings, which makes it adaptable to different hair types and styling needs. The airflow is powerful enough to dry my hair quickly without causing frizz, and it leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny, which is a nice surprise for a dryer in this price range. The ionized technology helps to reduce static and frizz, which is a major win for me, as I usually struggle with flyaways. I also find that my hair feels smooth and hydrated after drying, even without applying additional styling products. Styling Features: The Shark Freestyle truly shines when it comes to styling. The included attachments, like the round brush and the smoothing nozzle, give you the flexibility to create a range of looks. The round brush is fantastic for adding volume and creating soft curls or waves, while the smoothing nozzle helps to get sleek, straight hair without much effort. What I particularly love is the hot air brush function, which allows you to both dry and style simultaneously. This is a big time-saver since I don’t have to switch between a blow dryer and a separate styling tool. The airflow is powerful enough to set the style, yet gentle enough to avoid causing heat damage, which is a common concern with some dryers. Heat Settings & Versatility: The Shark Freestyle offers adjustable heat and speed settings, which gives you a lot of control over how you style your hair. Whether you want a quick dry or a more polished, styled look, there’s an option for every need. There’s also a cool shot button for locking in your style, which is a nice addition for a professional finish. Drawbacks: While I really like the overall performance, there are a couple of things I’d note. First, it might not be the best option for super thick or coarse hair if you’re looking for ultra-fast drying. It takes a bit longer to dry very thick hair compared to a high-powered blow dryer. Also, the attachments can feel a little flimsy after frequent use, though they still perform well. The cord is also not as long as I’d like. If you have a large bathroom or need to plug in further away from your mirror, you might find it slightly limiting. Final Thoughts: Overall, the Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer is a great all-in-one styling tool that combines the power of a blow dryer with the versatility of a styling brush. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and provides great results, especially for creating voluminous hair or smooth styles. While it may not replace a traditional blow dryer for very thick hair, it’s perfect for those with medium to fine hair or anyone looking for a quick, versatile tool to simplify their hair routine. If you’re looking for an affordable, space-saving solution for both drying and styling, I’d highly recommend giving it a try!
