Shark's latest FlexStyle hair styler, the Next-Gen IonCurl 5-in-1, is currently available at its lowest price to date, offering a $100 saving ahead of the Black Friday shopping period. The device is priced at $249 on Amazon, down from its original retail price of $350.
The Shark FlexStyle Next-Gen IonCurl 5-in-1 Hair Styler is designed to dry, curl, smooth, and add volume to hair. It includes two 1.25-inch Coanda Auto-Wrap Curlers, an Oval Brush, a Styling Concentrator, and a FrizzFighter High-Shine Polisher, aiming to provide a comprehensive hair styling solution in a single tool.
At the core of the styler is Shark's CoandaBoost technology, which utilizes airflow to automatically wrap hair around the curling barrels, designed to create defined curls with reduced effort. The device also incorporates 200 million negative ions to help minimize static and frizz, contributing to a smoother, shinier finish.
Additional features include Scalp Shield Mode, which adjusts temperatures to protect the scalp, and an AirSet button for pausing airflow or delivering a cool burst to set styles. The styler also monitors heat 1,000 times per second, with a maximum temperature capped at 302 degrees Fahrenheit.
According to a review by a commerce journalist for New York Post, the FlexStyle's ergonomic grip makes it comfortable to maneuver. The FrizzFighter attachment is noted for its ability to tame flyaways and enhance shine, while the Oval Brush is suited for creating voluminous blowouts.
The US model of the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl operates on 120V and is not compatible with international outlets that use 220V–240V. SharkNinja offers a two-year limited warranty on the product for manufacturing defects under normal household use.
