Shark FlexStyle Hair Styler and Dryer HD426SLUK

The FlexStyle solves a specific and genuinely frustrating problem: the need to own both a high-powered dryer and a separate styling tool, then fumble between them mid-routine. With a single twist of the body, it switches from dryer to styling wand, and the Auto-Wrap Curlers work by directing airflow to wrap hair around the barrel rather than relying on heat clamping — meaning less direct contact damage for people who curl regularly. That one mechanical distinction is what separates it from simply buying a Dyson Airwrap dupe.

Who Is This For?

This suits someone who blow-dries and styles several times a week and is tired of a cluttered shelf of tools that each do one thing adequately. It works across hair types — fine, thick, curly, straight — and the airflow-based curling mechanism is genuinely more forgiving for beginners than a traditional wand. If you only wash your hair twice a week and own a serviceable dryer already, the £149.99 price point is harder to justify on convenience alone. If heat damage is your primary concern, a professional salon dryer used less frequently may serve you better.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the drying speed, which genuinely rivals standalone high-wattage dryers, and the Auto-Wrap Curlers for producing consistent, bouncy results without much practice. The most common gripe is the weight and balance — with attachments fitted, it can feel front-heavy during longer styling sessions, which becomes noticeable if you have thick hair that takes time to work through.

The Deal

It's currently £149.99, down from £249.99 — a £100 saving. Checking our price history, this is both the lowest and the only recorded price across 369 data points, which tells you this is a relatively new listing and we cannot confirm this discount against a longer trading history — so treat the "was" price with mild scepticism. That said, £149.99 for this category of tool is a strong entry point; comparable multi-stylers routinely sit above £200.
