    I love it, I brought it to my hair appointment and now my stylist is going to also invest in one. I especially love that it has the swivel option it's so comfortable to hold.

    Great Lightweight Powerful Nice color Quiet for the power Compact enough for travel Length makes it easy to reach the back of your head Heats up fast Versatile Easy to use Long cord Cool nubs on ends of attachments Easier and safer for someone younger to use Very hard to get burned Power cord swivels in the base Plenty of third-party accessories available Cons Curlers have a learning curve Curlers don’t make tight curls or gloss hair Power brick in middle of cord is a bit awkward No cord holder No case Design and Features 9/10 Out of the box you notice the unique Indigo Rush blue color. A lot of these products are rose gold, white, or silver so it’s nice to see Shark offering more options. The main body is very thin. Even a young teen would have no issues holding it. It is longer than your normal curling iron but more compact than normal hair dryers. It is lightweight, particularly for the power it has. The cord is plenty long; however, the power brick is in the middle of the cord. It’s not a dealbreaker, but you do have to watch out for it as it can pull on the dryer. For example, if the brick is on the counter and slides off it will tug the dryer in your hand or off the counter if you set it down. Near the bottom of the unit are the sliding power button and the speed and heat settings. Further up the body is a cool boost button. In the middle there is a slide lock button that you use to change it from hair dryer to other modes. Attachments just click onto the end with a satisfying click. There is a slide lock you press to remove them. Each attachment has a cool “nub” to hold. While the design would work great for traveling with the lightweight, versatile, and compact design Shark did not include a cord organizer or case. Thankfully, since the FlexStyle has been out for several years others have created accessories to expand it’s capabilities. You can purchase to add more functionality even beyond what Shark offers, including a case. Hopefully someone will create a matching Indigo Rush case soon. Usage and Performance 9/10 While there will be compromises with creating a tool with so much versatility, Shark has done a nice job of balancing the pros and cons. It’s easy and quick to use. It feels like it heats up almost instantaneously and makes quick work of wet hair. The compact design also feels comfortable in the hand. While the extra length at times feels slightly awkward at first, it is also a bonus making reaching the back of your head more comfortable and natural. It also is quiet for the power. If you are worried about disturbing others in the morning, a single closed door blocks most of the sound. The hairdryer function and oval brush work just like you would expect. They don’t do anything special but they do work just as good as any dedicated styler and that is a good thing. The autowrap curlers are where you see more of the compromise. Once you get the technique down for using them they do a good job, but you aren’t going to get tight curls or gloss your hair using them. If you just want to add some curls, then this system works great since it never lets your hair get hot enough to burn and is also hard to get burned by. It does take some practice to use though. You have to put the autowrap curler halfway down your hair, then let it wrap the end of the hair around the curler before pulling it close to the scalp while it rolls the rest up. That part is pretty easy. What is a bit awkward is once you have let it set with heat for 10 seconds you have to use your other hand to press the cool boost button for 10 seconds and then slide the power button offer before removing. The control buttons are slightly recessed but with practice you can feel them. The issue is, depending on where you are curling, it can be a bit of a juggling act trying to hold it and press the buttons to go through the process. If you are the type of person who likes to add curls frequently this routine would probably get to be second nature and worth the tradeoff of reducing the risk of damaging your hair. For once in a while use, like in our family, it can feel awkward without help. Another family member has an older version of this with the same design tradeoff. It seems like a missed opportunity where Shark could have added a curl set button for one handed use where it would automatically run the cool boost and shut off all with one press to set the curl. Final Thoughts The Shark FlexStyle is a versatile hair styling tool. With the growing list of third party accessories it has become even better. If you are in the market for a compact styler that is well made but less likely to break the bank, then the Shark FlexStyle is worth a look.

    An amazing hair styling system from Shark!

    The Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is powerful—be prepared to be blown away! This system arrived with the hair dryer/styling wand; two auto-wrap curlers; and an oval brush. Additional accessories are available for purchase, but the included accessories work as an intro to the hair styling & Drying System. The wand and accessories are incredibly well made, and feel very high quality. This is a nice product, and the wand feels great to hold in your hand! First of all, let talk about the combination hair dryer/styling wand. It is round and sleek; has a long electrical cord; and a filter that should be cleaned regularly (which is simple to do). There are three heat levels and three fan levels, as well as a Cool Shot button, which are used for both the hair dyer mode and the styling mode. The area with these controls is gently indented, allowing you to easily identify where these buttons are. This is helpful, because all of the buttons except for the power button are flush with the wand. To use as a hair dryer, simply slide the hinge latch down and rotate the nozzle. Drying your hair is quick and easy with all of the available power this hair dryer generates. To use as a styling wand, simply slide the hinge latch down and rotate the nozzle back to the wand position. Next, snap the desired attachment in place and style, style, style! To remove the attachment, just press the style lock lever down, and lift off. This feature is great—no bumping magnetic attachments and having them fall to the floor. For those who want curls, the Auto-wrap Barrels make quick work of beautiful curls. They are marked for the left and right side of your head, which is nice. Please note that used as marked, the curls are away from your face. If you prefer curls going towards your face, just use the other Auto-wrap Barrel. For no curls or less curls, the included Oval Brush is great! Depending on how you use it, you can have no curl, or a little curl, and add volume to your hair style. The included styling guide provides great styling tips. Overall, this is a powerful hair dryer and styling wand combination and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to dry and style their hair quickly and easily. You may notice a little learning curve, depending on what type of hair dryer/styler you’ve been using. However, Shark includes a Styling Guide, which is very helpful. While you can always go online to see videos, it is nice to have a Styling Guide handy. This powerful, versatile hair drying system is great. However, including a concentrator attachment or round brush would have made it better. Despite not including these attachments, I would still give this product 5 stars, as it is one of the best hair styling systems I have ever used!

    I’ve had two of these now and it does a good job styling but the product is so cheap. I had my previous one for a year and got fed up with the parts coming loose so I used my heel squad warranty and swapped it out. After one use the new one had a part come loose again. This causes the product to rattle back and forth while you’re using it. Planning on returning this week. Honestly, just invest in the Dyson if you’re going to spend the money or know that you’re getting a cheap product

    I received the Shark FlexStyle Air in navy blue. The blue color is a fun twist from a standard hair drier silver or white. Unboxing was fun and simple with setup being easy and self-explanatory. The FlexStyle came packaged with QR codes which directs you to Shark's website and further into YouTube videos for learning tips and how to use this hairdryer. I would like to point out the attachments first. They are easy to take on/off and swap out. It should be noted that you can purchase additional attachments from shark. The coolest (or hottest) part of this "hair blower" is you can turn the stick of the unit (the head) about 75% up at 90 degrees for a more traditional shape and better control. There are both hot and cold setting, hot is a good temperature, and the cool temp actually feels "cooler" than a normal hair dryer....I assume this is only because of how the air comes into the unit. The cord is very long and useful if you do not have a mirror near an outlet. Furthermore, my personal favorite attachment is the oval brush. This helps my hair dry quickly leaving it straight and silky. This is easy to use and clean. Overall, the hairdryer is stylish and easy to use. The QR code videos are helpful to learn how to use the different attachments.

    Twist, curl, it does it all! Alright, maybe not "all" but the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying system is able to hand most of what you need to do on the go, or even at home depending on what you need. The flex head is so convenient so drying hair while trying to take care of other morning tasks or while on a call. It is also incredibly convenient if you need a hair dryer to seal something, warm some glue, or any other non-hair type tasks one might use a hair dryer for! After my significant other was finished curling her hair prior to a networking event for the regional bar association, I was able to use the flex head for sealing the winter shielding around our windows and it was able to get warm enough to loosen the glue from a tablet touchsccreen! Talk about a multipurpose device! On top of everything it can do, it looks great with a sleek satin blue finish and metallic coloring to show where the FlexHead swivels. The attachments easily connect and disconnect when needed, but will firmly stay put. The inclusion of a left and right curl dryer is a really nice touch to get the perfect bounce to the curls. Overall, this get a huge recommendation from my significant other and myself. Her for all of it's hair functionality, and myself (a bald man) for the added utility that it brings when she's not using it! If this was cordless and ran off my power tool's lithium battery packs, I think we'd both be extremely happy, but that would really throw the balance off. This thing is great!

    Great Replacement for Blow Dryer and Curling Iron!

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been wanting to replace my girlfriend’s hairdryer for a while now. After repeated uses as a dryer for the dog, it has gotten to the point that it only lightly warms the air. She had been looking at getting one of the air curlers, as she also has wanted to replace her older curling iron. So, when I saw Shark had the FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System with curlers, I had to pick one up for her. Pros: - Easy to use & control air/temperature. - Comes with multiple attachments. - Curls well and lasts all day. Cons: - Takes practice to get the curling technique down. - Swapping out the curling attachments can cause burns. - Shark doesn’t provide extra attachment packs separately. Out-of-the-Box: Included with this FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is a pair of Right & Left curler attachments, a Brush head attachment, and instructions. The FlexStyle is a sleek and compact multi-device that can replace both a traditional blow dryer and curling iron, plus additional specialty hair dryers with additional attachments. To turn on the dryer, you just slide the power button up when plugged in. Adjusting the heat or airflow is simply a push of a button, with the red button for heat control and button with a fan symbol for airflow. Heat has 4 levels: off, low, med, and high. Airflow has 3 levels: low, med, and high. There’s a third button further up for Cool Shot to lock in the curl when curling. The head can turn to be 90 degrees from the body by pushing down the leaver on the back side of the FlexStyle, then rotate the head. The attachments simply twist on the head, easy as can be. To swap out the different attachments, a similar lever is near the top of the head that when pushed will release the attachment. Instructions: There are 2 guides included with the FlexStyle: a quick reference card and a full attachment guide. The quick reference card is helpful to get started with curling. The full attachment guide really is there to encourage you to want additional attachments. On the quick reference card, there are 5 steps for curling that help you get started. We found that the hair needed to be dryer than suggested, just lightly damp and that curling in stages on the hair worked best. First curl the ends for 5-10 seconds, then the rest of the hair. This might mostly apply to longer hair, but it’s what got us the best results for my girlfriends’ hair. Drying: I found it worked great as a blow dryer, as I had to test it out before we put it anywhere near my girlfriend’s hair! On maximum heat, it does get quite hot, easily hot enough to fry your hair or scalp if you’re not careful. For the most part we were comfortable using the heat at Med (2 red dots). My only disappointment was one I knew going into the kit, that this pack only came with the curlers and brush, and no Styling Concentrator attachment. Drying without the Concentrator works but tends to blow the hair in all directions as the air is just coming out of the end of the FlexStyle, like using a regular blow dryer. The Concentrator would flatten out and focus the air, making a more uniform drying that is easier to direct. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there is an official extra attachments pack, but I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if I can pick up the attachments individually. Curling: The main reason we chose this FlexStyle System was for the Curling, my girlfriend has wanted an air curler but didn’t like the price of most of the systems when compared to a traditional curling iron. This FlexStyle is listed at $279.99 but went on sale during Black Friday for $159.99 which makes it a steal! On our first attempt, we followed the reference cards instructions but soon found that the hair needed to be almost completely dry to get a decent curl. The instructions suggest 80-90%, but if your hair is to wet or heavy or clumps together, it will not wrap around the curler on its own. Additionally, we found swapping out the curlers during use required either waiting 5mins for the attachment to cool down or using a silicone mat to swap out the attachments, as the curlers get very hot during use. It would be helpful to have a silicone mat included or little glove to swap out the hot attachments with. We dried her hair more, then gave it another try and on the second try we got much better results. One suggestion we found hard to maintain was the position of the FlexStyle, as the curlers will blow the hot air directly onto your head as you move it closer, which will start to burn after a while. We worked around this by her tilting the FlexStyler to direct the hot air away from her head and lowering the temperature down to Mid (2 red dots). This did mean we needed to increase the time per curl, but also was much more comfortable than on full blast. On the next try, on Thanksgiving at that, we tried another tweak to the reference card instructions. We had found that the best results happened when you curled the end 1/3 of your hair around the curler for 5-10 seconds first, then proceeded to curl the rest of the hair for another 5-8 seconds. This gave the ends of the hair more time to dry and produced a stronger curl. This more than likely depends on hair length, which her hair lands at the bottom of her shoulder blades. Additionally, we had lowered the temperature down to mid, which allowed us to keep the curler on the hair for a longer time without burning her hair. Overall, we were both very impressed with the results of the curls as we put them to the test while hosting Thanksgiving, which involved 12 hours of cooking, eating, and cleaning up afterwards! The top curls mostly fell out, but the mid and ends of the hair stayed wavy and curled. My girlfriend really loved all the complements to her hair, she’s looking forward to trying it out again when she goes to her next event. Conclusion: If you want to replace your old blow dryer and curling iron with one sleek and compact device, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is a great option. It’s easy to use and adjust to your desired style via one of the attachments or settings. It would be great to see an official additional attachment pack, but you can find most of them individually online, in case you wanted a specific attachment head that wasn’t included in your bundle. Overall, we’re more than happy to add this to our list of bathroom devices in place of the old blow dryer and curling iron!

    The shark did not work like all of the videos and like I anticipated. I was so excited to get the shark and it truly disappointed me. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I could have been doing something wrong, sure! BUT with the amount of money we pay for this item, then it should either WORK or the instructions should be worth over $300. I tried doing my hair 5 times, and it never actually held. I tried my cousins African American hair and it did great, but then poofed back up by morning! Just buy a revlon. Please don’t waste your money.

    AMAZING HAIR STYLING & DRYING SYSTEM

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    There are two similar hair styling systems that have become extremely popular. A very significant differentiator, however, is that one brand is less than half the price of the other. The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System is an incredible comparative bargain. We own several Shark appliances and have a genuine appreciation of those excellent products with their impressive performance. It was therefore an easy decision to select the Shark FlexStyle. The Shark FlexStyle (Model HD430) includes the Multi-Styling Tool, which is the core of the system to which the accessories attach for use. This power unit provides four heat settings (No Heat, Low, Medium, High), plus “Cool Shot” (No Heat while button is depressed and held) and three airflow settings (Low, Medium, High). Each of those setting levels are annunciated by small LED lamps above the Temperature Button and the Airflow Button. With a twist of the articulating barrel, it converts from a hair styling wand into a hair-blower / hairdryer. Accessory attachments include two 1 ¼” Auto-Wrap Curlers which wrap hair around them using the FlexStyle airflow. These curlers use Coanda Technology to wrap, curl and set hair. The Coanda Effect refers to an aerodynamic characteristic whereby a fast-moving jet of air “attaches” to a surface. The high velocity airflow of the FlexStyle effectively wraps hair around the curlers and maintains tension on the hair to develop a tight and even wrap. The curlers are directionally oriented, with one used for clockwise wraps and the other used for counterclockwise wraps (marked marked Left and Right, including directional arrows showing the airflow direction). Also included are two air styling brush attachments comprised of an oval brush with both smoothing bristles on the edges and detangling bristles in the center, and a paddle brush, which also has both smoothing and detangling bristles, for use in smoothing, straightening and volumizing hair. The final attachment in this package is a concentrator, for directing and concentrating the powerful airflow of the Shark FlexStyle when using it as a conventional hair-blower / dryer. All attachments securely anchor in place using a small rotation which interlocks the plastic cam pins and latches with an audible click. Attachments are quickly and easily released by the sliding Lock button. Shark also offers an optional Curl-Defining Diffuser which is sold separately for drying curly and wavy hair and enhancing curls and waves. Since hairstyles change and people choose to modify their hairstyles, the Curl Defining Diffuser should be included with the FlexStyle system. The system really should be complete and include everything necessary for user flexibility and choice, including the Diffuser. I am confident that my wife is just one of many users who really want and need the Diffuser attachment. It would also be nice if there was a case included for both storage and travel with the Shark FlexStyle System because this is quite an extensive collection of implements. The FlexStyle components really should not simply be stored loose in a drawer or cabinet, and when travelling it could be a challenge to pack the FlexStyle in a manner that prevents possible damage. If you plan on styling a shorter hair style or bangs, note that both of the Brush attachments are large. The Oval Brush measures 3 ¼” across the narrow aspect, and 3 7/8” on the wide aspect. The Paddle Brush measures 3 ½” across the bristles. My wife’s conventional, round styling brush is only 1 ¾” in diameter. It would be nice if a smaller diameter brush were included for users with short styles or bangs . The FlexStyle Multi-Styling Tool is 11 3/16” overall in the straight configuration for use with the curlers and brush attachments, which increase the overall length to about 17 ¼”. The Multi-Styling Tool weighs only 14.1 ounces (400 grams), without attachments. About 1/3 (3”-4”) below the top of the Multi-Styling Tool is an articulating joint which through an easy twist of the tool converts the straight tool into a 90° right angle tool for use with the concentrator attachment for hair-blowing / drying. The rotating hinge is locked in place until released with the Hinge Latch button immediately below the hinge. The FlexStyle Multi-Styling Tool is equipped with an exceptionally long power cord, spanning 9’. The cord is equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) for user safety (as required by law), and is apparently also protected by a fusible link. All of the connections on the power cord are equipped with robust strain relief, and at the base of the Multi-Styling Tool, the strain relief is angled and rotates freely so that the power cord is never a nuisance which impedes the use of the FlexStyle and the power cord is not likely to become twisted or tangled during use. The maximum wattage of the FlexStyle is 1300 watts, which equates to a 10.8 amp electrical load. Clearly, the Shark FlexStyle system replaces several hair styling implements and appliances, with an elegant, flexible, versatile and efficient all-in-one hair styling solution. A very significant benefit of the Shark FlexStyle is that it virtually eliminates the likelihood of damaging hair due to excessive heat, according to the manufacturer. The FlexStyle is designed to precisely monitor and regulate temperature by measuring and adjusting temperature 1,000 times per second. The FlexStyle accurately maintains temperature that is consistent, rather than widely fluctuating which can result in hair being exposed to excessively high temperatures and incurring damage, I measured the FlexStyle output at 7” from the nozzle. On the Low setting the temperature was approximately 140° F, on the Medium setting it was approximately 160° F and on the High setting the temperature measured approximately 180° F. The air velocity discharged by the FlexStyle is strong. Of course, the unit produces noise when in operation, but even at the High speed airflow setting, the motor noise of the FlexStyle was not uncomfortably loud, as some other hair-blowers typically are. My wife has used a great many hair styling tools and appliances throughout the years. She was very anxious to start using the Shark FlexStyle to determine if it would actually improve upon her hair styling tasks, reduce the effort and burden, and produce superior results. My wife reviewed the printed Shark FlexStyle Styling Guide which is included in the package, consulted the FAQs on the Shark website, and watched several Internet videos prior to using the FlexStyle for the first time. Mrs. Curmudgeon really loves the Shark FlexStyle. She has used each of the FlexStyle attachments in order to determine if the FlexStyle actually produces better results than she could achieve with her array of conventional hair styling implements, and to see if the FlexStyle would truly replace all of those individual, single-purpose tools. We are both very pleased with the results. Not only is she finding it to be easier and quicker to style her hair with the FlexStyle, but she genuinely prefers the results that she is achieving with the FlexStyle. The FlexStyle is excellent at producing curls of variable tightness without damaging her hair. Likewise, she found that, except for her bangs, both the oval brush attachment and paddle brush attachment performed their respective tasks better than when she formerly employed separate brushes and needed to use both hands (brush in one and blow-dryer in the other). This improved efficiency may likely be the result of the temperature controlled heated air being applied from inside the brush, rather than the conventional method. The FlexStyle appears to be well-built of high-quality plastic materials with a solid feel. The FlexStyle is comfortable and easy to use given the unit’s dimensions and light weight. My wife likes how comfortable and convenient it is to use the FlexStyle. The weight and balance are nice, and the control buttons for temperature and airflow are conveniently located on the handle. The only control button that is perhaps not in the most convenient location, especially for small hands, is the Cool Shot button, which is used to “set” curls and waves after using heated airflow. The distance between the Cool Shot button and the other controls ranges between 2 ½”: and 4”. My wife has found it to be a bit of a stretch to use that button, but has adapted her grip on the FlexStyle to facilitate the use of the Cool Shot button. This was just a very minor accommodation. Notably, the air intake for the powerful fan in the Multi-Styling Tool is at the base of the tool in the bottom 2” of the handle. It is important to avoid holding the implement in such a way that the user’s hand is obstructing the perforations for air intake, particularly since the control buttons are located in the bottom 2 ½”: of the handle. That perforated section of the handle covers a fine filter. The filter cover is removable and exposes the internal filter for cleaning with a toothbrush or other soft brush. The FlexStyle is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturer defects, however if Shark replaces the unit, a fee (disclosed in the printed warranty provisions included in the box) is assessed. Overall, we both think that the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System is really great. It is a powerful blow-dryer for styling and hair drying. It is a flexible and innovative hair styling system which makes curling, smoothing, straightening and styling hair faster and easier than with the numerous separate, dedicated tools, and with nicer results. A big plus is eliminating the heat damage that is virtually impossible to avoid with conventional blow-dryers, curling wands and straightening irons. The Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System really does it all, does it easier and does it better!

    I was looking to get a quality Styling and Drying system for my daughter and got the Shark - FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System, Powerful Hair Blow Dryer and Multi-Styler. It came with Shark FlexStyle, Two 1.25 inch curlers and Brush attachment. The first thing she noticed is that how lightweight and ergonomic this system is. She mentioned multiple times that her arm never feels tired even when using it for detailed styling. The swivel feature allows the dryer to convert from a traditional blow-dryer shape to a more compact styling wand, which is extremely convenient. This device has a lot of power for its size. It dries her hair noticeably faster than the old dryer, and the airflow is strong without feeling harsh on the scalp. It has the ability to dry efficiently using lower heat settings, helping to minimize damage while still delivering quick results. After each use, my daughter's hair looks shinier, smoother, and healthier. The FlexStyle doesn’t overheat, producing far less frizz and no dryness. Even on humid days, the style holds up amazingly well for her. It truly gives that polished, salon-finish look at home. Switching between attachments is very easy, and the temperature and airflow settings are straightforward to adjust. The compact design also makes storage easy, especially for a tool with this many features. Shark FlexStyle is definitely a worth buy to get great results on styling.

    I love this hair dryer! The Shark Flexstyle dries in a flash then you add the versatility of a blow out, flat iron and curling iron…I just found my go to all in one hair dryer/styler!!! Just amazing!!! Out of the box, it kind of took me back a little….It looks like something I have never seen before…like someone from the year 2050 came back and gave me their hair styling equipment (it’s not fair to just call this a hair dryer… it’ so much more!) I marveled at it. It’s gorgeous! It is so light weight and I wondered how much air could this magical future device really provide. I hit the button on the shaft that allows you to turn the blower part the 90 degrees to turn it into a blow dryer and plugged it in. Most of the styles say to dry to 80 percent before trying all the curlers. So wet hair ready, I turned on the Shark Flexstyle and bam hot air jetting out the front… strong but not too strong, just right. It so easy to get just the right temp and speed with just a simple button push. It has a slightly higher pitch than my other high end hair dryer which makes it seem quieter to me. I could carry on a conversation with out much effort while it was blowing. I had to watch it on the hair drying because it dried the hair IN HALF THE TIME as normal!!! So light and controllable in the hand…a nice long chord…really really well designed! So as just a hair dryer…5 stars!!!! I would have given it 10 if I could!!! Note: it does not come with the diffuser if that is important to you. But it does give you everything else! It come with a right barrel and left barrel roller for curls…right barrel and left barrel??? Yes. As I was beginning to learn how to curl the hair with the Flexstyle I was wondering how the heck do you wrap your hair around the barrel and it stays? I had to actually watch the how to video. That’s another thing that is so great about the Flexstyle…they have an awesome QR code links to their how to videos which are SOOOO helpful!!! I watched as the curling iron sucks the hair around the barrel like magic and then you hold for 10 seconds and then “cool blast” to set the curl!!! And ohh the curls. Such helpful pro tips along the way!!! And then I tried it and just like magic the hair sucked around the barrel and locked into place effortlessly! Really amazing!!! Note: be careful when you are changing the left and right barrel as they are hot!!! Next was the paddle brush which I used as a flat iron and it also rocks!!! It will replace the flat iron for sure! Also comes with the oval brush for soft curls or under or over curls…so easy and works amazing. The Styling concentrator rounds out the package perfectly. It did feel a little strange at first because I have always been so used to holding a hairdryer a certain way and this is a little like holding a curling iron and curling iron a bit bulky…but light…After about 30 minutes of playing with it…it is an extension of my hand now!!! Just amazing!!! LOVE IT!!!

    Disappointing, now while this is quick at drying i found it loses its effectiveness after a while. Owned for 8mos now and im already making a call to warranty due to it just randomly shutting off, the power cord being too loose.

    This is a very good and powerful hair styling system. Its price tag compared to other brands offering the same features makes it even more compelling. The package contains a hair dryer/styling wand, two auto-wrap curlers and an oval brush. The dryer has a filter. The filter can be cleaned quite easily. It has 3 heat settings and three fan settings. There is a cool shot button as well. All these buttons are well placed along with the power button. It is easy to use. There is also a styling guide in the package. To use it as a hair dryer, you slide the hinge latch down and rotate the nozzle. To use it as a styling wand you rotate the nozzle back to wand position. The attachments are easy to connect and they snap in place. There is also an oval brush if you don't want curls. My wife has used it and is happy with the results. She said that it makes her hair look more volumenous. She also said that it is light, quite and easy to use. Overall, it is a very good hair styling system for the price. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
