Shark FlexStyle review

Shark FlexStyle (model HD430) is for buyers who want curls and smoothing as well as drying. One twist turns the dryer into a styling wand, and the box includes two 1.25 inch Auto-Wrap Curlers that use Coanda Technology to wrap hair in opposite directions, plus an Oval Brush, a Paddle Brush and a Styling Concentrator. Shark says it measures and regulates temperature 1,000 times per second so the air does not get hotter as it runs, and it lists 1,600 watts, an 8 ft cord and a 2 year limited warranty. The price on Shark's US store is $349.99, the highest verified price here, and Shark's own page shows a 3.2 out of 5 customer rating for this original model. If you only need a dryer, the SpeedStyle Pro has more power for $120 less; Shark also sells a newer FlexStyle NextGen with IonCurl.
