FAQs
How do I switch the Shark FlexStyle from styler to dryer mode?
To transform the FlexStyle, hold the base of the handle firmly and twist the barrel of the styler 90 degrees until it clicks into the upright dryer position. To return to styler mode, simply twist it back.
Can I use the Shark FlexStyle on wet hair?
Yes, the FlexStyle is designed to be used on wet hair. It functions as both a dryer and a styler. For best styling results with the attachments (like curling barrels), it's often recommended to start with hair that is towel-dried or 80% dry.
What kind of hair types is the Shark FlexStyle suitable for?
The Shark FlexStyle is designed for a wide range of hair types, including fine, medium, and thick hair. Its adjustable heat and airflow settings allow you to customize the styling experience to your specific hair needs.
How do I clean the air filter?
Twist and remove the air intake filter cage located at the bottom of the handle. Pull out the inner mesh filter. Use a small, soft brush or a dry cloth to gently remove any accumulated dust, lint, or hair. Reassemble after cleaning, ensuring the filter clicks back into place securely.
What attachments are typically included with the 5-in-1 model?
The 5-in-1 model typically includes a concentrator for drying, two auto-wrap curlers (for curling in both directions), a paddle brush for smoothing and straightening, and an oval brush for volumizing and shaping. The specific set may vary slightly by region.
Is there a cool shot function?
Yes, the Shark FlexStyle includes a cool shot button. This feature is crucial for setting your style, especially after curling. Press and hold the button to deliver a burst of cool air, helping to lock in your desired look.
How should I store the Shark FlexStyle and its accessories?
For optimal protection and organization, always store your Shark FlexStyle and its attachments in the provided dedicated storage case. This keeps everything together, protected from dust and damage, and ready for your next use.
Troubleshooting
Device won't turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check if the outlet itself is working by plugging in another appliance. Verify there's no power outage or tripped circuit breaker.
Attachments are not staying on or feel loose.
Make sure the attachment is properly aligned with the main unit's nozzle and pushed firmly until you hear and feel a distinct click. If it continues to be loose, check for any debris preventing a secure connection.
Hair is not curling or styling effectively.
Ensure your hair is damp (towel-dried, not dripping wet) for optimal results with the curling barrels. Section your hair into smaller, manageable portions. Use the correct heat and airflow settings, and allow the cool shot to set the curl before releasing. Practice may be needed to perfect the technique.
Device is overheating or shutting off unexpectedly.
The most common cause is a blocked air intake filter. Turn off and unplug the device, then clean the filter thoroughly as instructed in the 'Care and Maintenance' section. Allow the device to cool down completely before resuming use. Ensure air vents are not obstructed during use.
Poor airflow or reduced drying power.
Check and clean the air intake filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow and reduces performance. Also, ensure no hair or debris is blocking the output nozzle of the device or the attachments.
