Designed for All Hairkind​

In 2021, we entered the haircare sector with the intention of creating hair tools that would make it easier for people of all skill levels to style all hair types. Consumer research revealed that different hair types require different styling tools. To ensure our products worked for all hair types, our team spent more than 50 days testing products in professional beauty salons and more than 100 days validating the product in house, hosting testing days by hair type for specific accessories. The result is the Shark FlexStyle®: a powerful, fast, no-heat-damage hair dryer and ultra-versatile multi-styler. Designed For All Hairkind, the FlexStyle comes in three bundles: straight and wavy, curly and coily, or all-in.
