FAQs
What hair types is the Shark FlexStyle suitable for?
The Shark FlexStyle is designed for all hair types, from fine to thick, and straight to coily. Its adjustable heat/airflow settings and various attachments allow for customized styling for different textures and lengths.
Can I use the Shark FlexStyle on soaking wet hair?
While it functions as a dryer, for best styling results, it's recommended to use the FlexStyle on hair that is damp (towel-dried) rather than soaking wet. This allows the styling attachments to work most effectively.
How often should I clean the air intake filter?
It is recommended to clean the air intake filter regularly, ideally after every few uses, or more frequently if you notice reduced airflow or performance. A clean filter ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your device.
Does the Shark FlexStyle cause heat damage to hair?
The FlexStyle utilizes Coanda technology and air-styling methods, which are designed to use less extreme heat compared to traditional hot styling tools. While it aims to minimize heat damage, it's always recommended to use a heat protectant spray on your hair before styling for added protection.
What are the four functions of the 4-in-1 model?
The 4-in-1 model includes features for powerful drying (with the concentrator), auto-wrap curling (with the curlers), smoothing (with the paddle brush), and volumizing (with the oval brush).
Is the Shark FlexStyle suitable for travel?
Yes, the Shark FlexStyle is designed to be lightweight and compact, making it convenient for travel. Its ability to transform from a dryer to a styler also reduces the need to pack multiple hair tools.
How do I switch between the dryer and styler modes?
To switch between dryer and styler modes, simply twist the top barrel of the device. It's designed for an easy and intuitive transition.
Troubleshooting
Device won't turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch on the device to make sure it's in the 'On' position. If using an extension cord, ensure it's rated for the device's power requirements and is also working.
Weak airflow or poor drying performance.
The most common cause is a clogged air intake filter. Turn off and unplug the device, then locate and clean the filter as per the care instructions. Remove any accumulated lint, dust, or hair. Ensure nothing is obstructing the air outlet.
Styling attachments are difficult to attach or detach.
Ensure you are aligning the attachment correctly with the main body or nozzle. For attachment, push firmly until you hear a click. For detachment, some models require twisting or pressing a release button before pulling. Do not force attachments.
Hair isn't curling or styling effectively with the auto-wrap curlers.
Ensure your hair is damp, not soaking wet or completely dry. Section hair into smaller, manageable strands. Hold the styler vertically and bring the barrel close to the hair strand, allowing the Coanda effect to draw the hair in. Experiment with different airflow and heat settings, and ensure you're using the correct barrel for the desired curl direction (clockwise/anti-clockwise).
Device feels excessively hot or shuts off unexpectedly.
This could indicate overheating, often due to a blocked air filter or vents. Turn off and unplug the device immediately. Allow it to cool down completely (at least 30 minutes). Clean the air intake filter thoroughly and ensure all air vents are clear of obstructions before attempting to use it again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Assembly: If in styler mode, twist the main body to align the air outlet with the handle. To attach a styling accessory, align the accessory with the nozzle and push firmly until it clicks securely into place.

Care & Maintenance:
Filter Cleaning: Regularly check and clean the air intake filter, located at the bottom of the handle. Lint, dust, and hair can accumulate, reducing airflow and performance. Twist or open the filter cage (refer to your product manual for specific instructions), remove any debris, and clean with a soft, dry cloth or brush.
Accessory Cleaning: Wipe down styling attachments with a damp, soft cloth as needed. Ensure they are dry before reattaching.
Storage: Allow the device to cool completely before storing. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage to the attachments or cord.
Cord Care: Avoid wrapping the power cord tightly around the device, as this can damage the cord. Do not twist or kink the cord. Always unplug the device after each use.
