## Should you buy this?

The lower-priced multi-styler: a 1,650W dryer that twists into a styling wand, with two Auto-Wrap curlers, two brushes, a concentrator and a diffuser, at £269.99 RRP.

Skip this if you want an air-straightening attachment in the box or published airflow figures.

A dryer-first alternative to a multi-styler: one twist turns it into a wand, and a diffuser comes in the box.

## Who it’s for

Anyone who wants a hair dryer and an air styler in one at a lower price than Dyson’s Airwrap, especially if they rough-dry first or want a diffuser for curls.

## What should you check before buying?

Shark sells several FlexStyle sets, including newer IonCurl models; check the model number and what is in the box. Wattage and heat-protection statements are manufacturer figures, not independent findings.
