FAQs
What does 'no extreme heat damage' mean for my hair?
The FlexStyle monitors air temperature 1,000 times per second, ensuring consistent temperatures below 110°C. This prevents the high heat damage often associated with traditional styling tools, resulting in healthier, shinier hair.
Can I use the Shark FlexStyle on wet hair?
Yes, the Shark FlexStyle functions as a powerful hair dryer for quickly drying wet hair. Most styling attachments, especially the auto-wrap curlers, work best on damp hair for optimal results.
How do the auto-wrap curlers work without clamps?
The auto-wrap curlers use Coanda Technology. This aerodynamic phenomenon attracts and wraps hair around the barrel using air, creating curls without extreme heat or traditional clamping mechanisms.
What is the weight of the Shark FlexStyle?
The main unit weighs approximately 700g, making it comfortable to hold and maneuver during styling sessions.
Is the Shark FlexStyle suitable for all hair types?
Yes, the Shark FlexStyle is engineered for 'all hairkind' and comes with various attachments that cater to different hair textures and styling preferences, from fine to thick, straight to curly.
How do I maintain the product for longevity?
Regularly clean the air intake filter to prevent blockages. Wipe down the main unit and attachments with a damp cloth after each use, ensuring they are dry before storage. Store the device and accessories in the provided bag.
Troubleshooting
Device is not turning on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. Check for any tripped circuit breakers. If still unresponsive, contact customer support.
Styling attachments are not staying securely in place.
Verify that the attachment is fully aligned with the main unit and twisted until you hear a distinct click, indicating it's locked. If it continues to detach, inspect for any damage to the locking mechanism.
Hair is not wrapping around the auto-wrap curlers.
Ensure the hair section is not too large. The Coanda effect works best with moderately damp hair, not overly wet or completely dry hair. Try a smaller section and ensure the airflow is directed correctly.
Reduced airflow or device overheating.
Check the air intake filter at the bottom of the handle for any lint or hair blockage. Clean the filter regularly to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating.
