"In wet mode, the Shark Flex Fusion's low, medium and high settings of 212°F, 230°F and 248°F are definitely below the 302°F keratin saturation point for wet hair, so [...] wet mode is the safer setting. In [...] dry mode, I would try to use the lowest 356°F setting if you're able to, and if not, stick with the medium 392°F and limit the hottest 428°F setting as much as possible."

What's Really Worth Buying During Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

"This and the Dyson Airwrap are really awesome multi-purpose heat and drying tools. I think they both have their pros and cons, which I highlight in [...] a side by side comparison video. High level I think both are great options and it kind of just depends on what price point you're interested in spending."

"I swear by that drying method. It is a must if you want to speed up the drying process. And last but not least, we have the Dyson Airwrap bundle and the Shark FlexStyle bundle. I already have an entire video comparing these two, so if you would like to hear my thoughts on both of them, which I think is best for certain concerns, and of course how they actually make my hair look, that video is going to be listed below. But I think both are amazing styling options."

"The Shark FlexStyle is a styling tool and hair dryer all-in-one, a great option if you want both in one tool. She always reaches for the Shark [...] over the Dyson when it comes to blow drying, though she wishes she could say she hands-down preferred one over the other overall, since for curls she prefers the Dyson instead. She says you can't go wrong with either."

10 Things I’d NEVER Do To My Hair Again…. How To Grow Healthy Hair

"These days I rarely use tools like the Shark FlexStyle. The brush attachments on tools like that are things I haven't used in months. The only time I'll pull something like that out is if I'm testing it for a video, otherwise it's never something I'm reaching for in my everyday hair care routine because I know how much damage it causes."

"I tried really hard to avoid this kind of styling tool because in my personal opinion it is the most damaging way you can style your hair, and the reason for that is because it damages your hair in multiple ways. [...] Your hair is most fragile and susceptible to breakage when it's wet, so when you are applying heat to your hair while pulling and tugging on it and also brushing through it, that is when bad things start to happen."

"I'd definitely recommend it if you've been [...] holding out on an all-in-one hairstyler, want to save some money and don't want to go as expensive as Dyson. I absolutely love the blow dryer, [...] I use it all the time, I love bringing it when I travel because of how compact it is. [...] It's really powerful, dries my hair quickly, and the curling barrel attachments work just as good as Dyson in my opinion."

"I love this. It comes with different options. You can put on a hair dryer, you can put on a curling iron, you can put on a straightening thing. [...] I use this a lot. The Beachwave is probably my first go-to, but if my hair is damp at all, this is the one I use. This is what I styled this hair with two days ago."

"This is the Shark Beauty FlexStyle, but it's also a dryer and then it's got several different attachments or you can just make it a dryer. You can use it as a dryer, [...] and it's got like five or six other different attachments. This one's normally I think $300 and now it's like $220. [...] I love this when my hair is still wet in the morning that's one of my favorite curling irons, or my only curling iron hair iron that I use, and it's got these so it acts like a Dyson thing."

Is This $250 Styler BETTER Than $600 Dyson? Shark FlexStyle Vs Dyson Airwrap!

"The Shark does a basically similar job at drying and smoothing your hair compared to the Dyson, and you can save $350. However, I'm really unimpressed with the curling technology. The hot setting is way hotter than the Dyson's, which concerns me about heat damage over time. The cool shot button is hard to find and takes forever to actually get cool, which makes the whole process take so much longer. The curls fall out within 10 to 20 minutes."

"Using this means that I can dry and style my hair at the same time. I usually let it air dry for maybe 45 minutes to an hour and then it takes me about 15 minutes to dry and curl my hair with this. I did this hair last night and then I slept with it in a ponytail and it is extremely extremely sweaty and humid today, so it's doing pretty well. This is my hair after 3 days in humid Sydney summer. And this again includes sleeping with it in just a ponytail."
