The Dyson is just the perfect size for my hand. Any bigger, and it wouldn’t feel so comfortable to hold. The Shark FlexStyler is slightly bigger in circumference than the Dyson. I’m petite, 5’1, with small hands. I also have thick and very long hair, so I use a hair tool longer than most.

I tested the Shark FlexStyler and the Dyson Airwrap during a LIVE video stream. The votes came in, and everyone voted the Shark FlexStyler is louder. This overtime adds up to cost savings. Is it worth saving the $320, or is it best to save to invest in the Dyson? Let’s keep comparing.

The Dyson Airwrap leaves my hair bouncy and smooth. I use the highest heat setting for my coarse hair. The Shark FlexStyle left my hair bouncy, too, and It feels like it distributes heat, similar to the Dyson Airwrap; however, the hair felt slightly drier when I used the highest heat setting like I do with the Dyson. I stick to the medium heat now.

The curls from the Dyson and the Shark FlexStyler fall into waves after a few hours. The hold was similar. The curls fall into softer waves. I use the cool blast to set the curls because I don’t pin the curls. I have a lot of hair, and I’m a toddler momma.

Both have three heat settings, a cold blast, and three airflow speeds. The setting for the Dyson requires you to hold the button upwards, making it a little uncomfortable on the thumb and the Shark Flexstyler is a button you press down. Always use a heat protector.

I love that Shark offers options to choose three attachments. The Dyson doesn’t offer a diffuser attachment which is a bummer to have to buy their $429 Supersonic for it. The attachments of the Dyson feel better in quality.

The good news is that both are better heat styling options versus direct heat hair tools for styling. This benefit gives you more heat use for less damage! Shark offers more options to customize your attachments for your hair needs.
I love that they don’t stack costs for a big carrying case like the Dyson. They can always sell storage options like the ones on Amazon. I would love for Dyson to start offering to choose the attachments we need and to opt out of the case to make it more affordable.
Overall the Dyson is the winner and the best investment for your hair. The Shark FlexStyle is a good option if you have shorter hair that takes less styling time. If the new Dyson price of $599 is out of the question, there are used ones for sale at a discount on Offer Up or eBay.
I dedicate my social media to serving others to reach their best hair. I have grown my hair to healthy long lengths twice after big hair cuts. I want to show you how simple and affordable it really is!
