That's a solid 20% savings off its usual $349.99 list price, and way cheaper than a Dyson Airwrap while delivering nearly identical salon-level results.

Unlike most generic beauty tools claiming to be "dupes," the FlexStyle actually matches the Airwrap where it counts.

But Shark didn't just copy Dyson's homework; it added a clever swiveling base that bends into a traditional L-shaped blow dryer with a single quick twist.

So you can rough-dry your roots in classic hair-dryer mode before clicking on your styling heads.

She found that the performance gap between the two is virtually nonexistent.

In a direct comparison between the Dyson Airwrap and the Shark FlexStyle , the FlexStyle shines by offering a built-in diffuser attachment that makes it more versatile for wavy and curly hair textures right out of the box — something Dyson completely overlooked in its original release.

The fully loaded HD430 kit comes stocked with two 1.25-inch auto-wrap Coanda curlers, an oval volumizing brush, a smoothing paddle brush, and a rotatable styling concentrator nozzle.

The tool constantly measures its temperature 1,000 times per second to prevent extreme heat damage, giving you three airflow settings, four heat levels, and a cool shot button to set your style.

Grab the Shark FlexStyle HD430 to get high-velocity drying, auto-wrapping curls, and damage-free styling for less than half the cost of a Dyson.
