Honest Dyson Airwrap vs. Shark FlexStyle Comparison and Review!

Have you been debating between the Dyson Airwrap or the Shark FlexStyle for blowouts at home? Me too! I have had the Shark FlexStyle for over a year and a half now, and it has been my go-to hairstyling tool, but due to my long hair, I wanted to try the Dyson Airwrap. In this video, I compared them in regards to the price, ease of use, blow dry efficiency, brush attachments, curling function, total time, and more to help you determine whether you should splurge on the Dyson or save with the Shark!

Uh-oh... looks like I got off at the wrong stop. I saw Dyson and was expecting a vacuum cleaner comparison.

[@KathrynMueller]

It’s in the video title

[@alansmith4410]

I'm with you sir, I did not realize Dyson and Shark make hair products

[@lobsterkitty7]

omg a review I know I can completely trust!!! thank you!!

[@mansoor3159]

I love love lovee your consistency with making videos!!!Keep going we love you Kathryn 💗✨

[@mariacarrillo6249]

I love my shark set! I have long, thick and a lot of hair and It dries my hair super fast! I love the curls it gives me, the barrel size is perfect for heavy hair. I am in my 50s and holding a tool to dry or curl my hair is becoming a challenge, so I appreciate how light this tool is and fast. Great review!! Thank you

[@minowhittle4534]

Can't wait to watch this later ❤

[@KathrynMueller]

🥰

[@rachel43274]

This is the video I was looking for in January! I ended up getting the shark and I'm enjoying it, I just couldn't justify how much more the dyson was. I got some gift set from the holidays so my shark does have a bag for everything, its not as nice as the dyson case but still

[@-em_]

I had the shark and then I got the Dyson for my bday so I returned my shark. I feel like I’m going to be missing the oval brush attachment, maybe Dyson will come out with one. But I appreciate the buttons being higher up on the dryer and less noise

[@janetevans2711]

I have the shark set , i love it

[@cutseygymnast]

I git the Shark on a special the were having and it came with a frizz detachment and carrying case similar to the Dyson. Just something people ca keep a look out for if they are interested

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Nice one!❤

[@conniethehoarder]

I've had the dyson airwrap for a few years, the original one didnt keep my hair curled as much. BUT the drying head had stronger air. The updated one is better for curls but it is more for wavy, not actual curls bc throughout the day it will straighten out (also bc I have straight hair) but it does carry a nice volume. For ppl who are too lazy to blow dry their hair or have thin hair like me I appreciate the weight of the dyson airwrap

[@viktoriyavorobyeva5301]

As someone also with very long fine hair and lots of it, "curls" don't last with my airwrap. I've been curious about the flexstyle if it was any better so I'm glad to know it's really the same. I did just want to point out I have one of the og airwraps so mine has the 2 barrels you have to switch out depending on which direction you need exactly like your shark. I don't have the long barrels tho and am curious about those (but again after watching your video glad to hear it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference) 😊 Oh and i wanted to add with my og airwrap the hair dryer attachment is different than the one you had and i do enjoy it!

[@KathrynMueller]

Yeah I think with both you’re getting more of a blowout look!

[@viktoriyavorobyeva5301]

@KathrynMueller on another note did you see cakes came out with triangle shaped covers?? 👀 can't wait to see your review 💕

[@Thehydrangeagarden]

I’ve had my dyson for about 4 years and I love it. I just feel that it just depends how each individual likes to style their hair. I use multiple attachments since I have curly hair … First I smooth and then I curl and finish my bangs with the round brush. I do prefer the long attachments, I upgraded to the long ones when they came out

[@KathrynMueller]

Yes definitely! There’s going to be some preference involved for sure. For me overall the shark attachments were more what I was looking for!

[@carriepickett2687]

It’s like you are reading my mind trying to decide what to get

[@RainyJae_]

Tysm for doing this video! Even tho I’m so undecided still. Before this video I had the new LE color of the Dyson in my cart but halfway through watching I was sold on the shark instead, but then you revealed the results and lasting power and now idk which one I want 😅 I like the results and lasting power of the Dyson better but that oval brush on the shark is exactly what I like to use to style my hair 🤦‍♀️

[@KathrynMueller]

its so tough! I will say now that my hair is a little shorter (still long, but 2-3" shorter than this video) my shark lasts very long

[@RainyJae_]

@@KathrynMueller ok that’s good to know! My hair is just a few inches shorter than yours. I did notice in the video it seemed like the Dyson gave your hair a bit less frizz and was more shiny. Was that just lighting do you think, or did you notice a difference in texture and shine?

[@MsRajberry]

Hey Kathryn! I always hear people say that the Dyson is less damaging on the hair than the Shark. Do you think there is any validity to that claim? Thanks for a great review!

[@KathrynMueller]

I think any tool that claims to cause no damage is stretching the truth- there’s always a risk with excessive heat. I think these tools have been less damaging to my hair than a traditional curling iron, but both of their hot settings felt pretty equal to me. I would doubt that it’s any less damaging

[@jenachu8008]

I also love my shark More than the Dyson because the air flow is stronger , it grips my long hair easier

[@BeantownMrs]

Me, a short hair queen: gotta watch this even though it's pretty much useless for me! 😅

[@elizabethj7969]

Lol, same! I'll watch anything she reviews! 😅

[@KathrynMueller]

Thanks for watching anyway!!🫶🏻 although I have seen some short haired queens loving their Dyson/shark!

[@michellehawk282]

I got gifted the Dyson for my birthday and i absolutely love it. That being said, i would not have bought it myself because the prize is just too much for me. I love having it and it makes styling my hair a lot easier but i totally understand not being able to justify paying that much money for a hair tool.

[@juliavanhoose]

I’ve been considering getting one of these because I use the revlon brush a lot and like the look but hate the lack of temperature control but honestly they just don’t seem to offer enough improvement for the price tag.

[@KathrynMueller]

If you’re just using it for the brush I wouldn’t say it’s worth the upgrade, but if you would use the curling attachment and hair dryer too I’d say yes

[@Danscettenuit]

I could tell you did one half of your hair with Shark and the other half with Dyson before you mentioned it in the video and I guessed correctly which side was the Dyson. It looks nicer than the side done with Shark. Unfortunately I can’t even get my hair to hold curls with a standard curling wand with heat so if your curls didn’t last too long with either of these then there is no hope for me 😂. I was entertained just by watching the video. ❤

[@LittleGreenPearl]

I agree. The dyson side looks better imo

[@KathrynMueller]

I do agree the Dyson side curls are more defined (the barrel is smaller) but I like the shark brush and dryer more so it’s overall not worth 2x the price! I also recently got a hair cut and the shark holds a lot better now 😂

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

As the owner of hair down to my butt that is very fine but theres a lot of it, I dont own either, I did contemplate the Shark but I also do not have good hand grip strength and wonder about the actual weight of the device and whether I'd even be able to hold it up while doing my hair.

[@KathrynMueller]

It’s actually very light to hold and I find it much easier than a curling iron! But with hair that long it probably won’t really give a good curl

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

@@KathrynMueller Yeah my hair does not do curl, I've tried small barrel curling irons, perms and layers and my hair just goes nope, straight please lol, even if I wash it, dry it, brush it and immediately twist it ip into a chignon and leave it all day, taking it out at night theres a vague wave to it lol

[@anadavalos3212]

Since we’re in the topic, does anyone have any styling tips to get the curls to hold for a little longer? I bought the shark and they look gorgeous at first but they fall off immediately 😭😭 not even a blowout look, just back to straight right after

[@KathrynMueller]

I’m going to do a hair routine video soon and will share some!

[@anadavalos3212]

@@KathrynMueller thank you!!

[@MsV123m]

at least in canada, you can get the shark at costco and it comes with the case!!!

[@KathrynMueller]

Ooh good to know!!

Do you use hairspray?

[@KathrynMueller]

I do after each layer!

Honestly the dyson side looks much better
