The Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler is one of the most popular hair appliances amongst beauty fans, having been compared to the Dyson Air Wrap, with some even claiming it’s ‘better’. But with a price tag of £299.99, and discounts few and far between away from Black Friday and the Boxing Day sales, for many, it’s an investment.
However, for a limited time, Shark fans can get the brand’s air wrap tool for considerably less by using a little-known discount code. Until Wednesday February 14, Shark is offering £30 off the FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler for those who use the code FLEX10 at checkout.
The limited-time discount code brings the price of the Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler down to £269.99 – meanwhile, the Dyson Air Wrap is £479.99 on the Boots website. But while the Dyson Air Wrap curls hair, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styler is a 5-in-1 product, and works as a hair dryer, hair curler, straightener, smoother and blow dryer all in one.

I use this tool myself, and find it particularly useful while travelling, as it means I only need to pack the one item, rather than three for blowing and styling my hair on trips away. It features a powerful, fast hairdryer which turns into a versatile multi-styling tool with a single twist.
The Shark FlexStyle Air Styler Perhaps most unique about the product, though, and a feature which I think makes it well worth the money, is that it uses technology to ensure there’s zero heat damage on your hair.
Like the Dyson, the Shark styler uses Coanda Technology that wraps, curls and sets automatically. The different attachments are easily interchangeable, and take just seconds to take off and put on.
As well as one of my most used hair tools, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styler has also proven hugely popular with others who have bought it. It’s seen hundreds of glowing five-star ratings, and has an average score of 4.3 out of 5.

One Shark customer wrote: “Absolutely a game changer, I love it. So easy to use and put attachments on. It dries and styles my hair as if a hairdresser had done it. Easy to pack when travelling.”
A second said: “Fantastic hair styler/dryer, easy to use and works really fast, my hair feels so good, and it’s made styling in the mornings so easy.”
“This has benefited my hair so much! Would recommend for curly haired girls!” wrote a third. Somebody else said: “Excellent machine better than any other hair dryer I have used.”
For a more budget-friendly option, the BaByliss Air Style 1000, which has also been compared to the Dyson Air Wrap, is currently £50 instead of £75 on LookFantastic. It’s also had rave reviews, and is popular with those who want instant curls and waves without breaking the bank.
