Achieving Perfect Curls with the Flexstyle Curling Wand

1. Preparing Your Hair:

Before using the Flexstyle curling wand, ensure your hair is clean, detangled, and heat-protected. Apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from heat damage.

2. Choosing the Right Barrel Size:

The Flexstyle offers interchangeable barrels in various sizes to create different curl types. Smaller barrels produce tighter curls, while larger barrels result in looser waves. Select the barrel size that best suits your desired style.

3. Selecting the Appropriate Heat Setting:

The Flexstyle provides adjustable heat settings ranging from 300°F to 450°F. Choose the heat setting appropriate for your hair type. Finer hair requires lower heat, while thicker hair can withstand higher temperatures.

4. Curling the Hair:

**Sectioning the Hair:** Divide your hair into manageable sections to make the curling process easier. Use clips or hair ties to separate the sections and work on one section at a time.

**Wrapping the Hair Around the Barrel:** Take a small strand of hair, approximately the width of your index finger, and wrap it around the curling wand. Keep the wand in a vertical position and wrap the hair in one direction for uniform curls. Hold the hair in place for a few seconds, depending on the desired curl definition.

**Different Curl Techniques:**

Curl Style	Technique
Tight Curls	Wrap the hair tightly around the barrel, holding it close to the roots.
Loose Curls	Wrap the hair loosely around the barrel, leaving some space between the hair and the roots.
Waves	Wrap the hair around the barrel, but hold it in a horizontal position instead of vertical.
Beachy Waves	Wrap the hair around the barrel randomly and in different directions for a more natural-looking style.

5. Finishing the Style:

Once all the sections are curled, let your hair cool completely before brushing it. This allows the curls to set and hold. Use a wide-tooth comb or a paddle brush to detangle the curls and eliminate any frizz.

To enhance the definition and hold of your curls, you can apply a hairspray or a curl-defining cream.

How to Use Shark Flexstyle

Creating Voluminous Waves with the Flexstyle Air Styler

Achieving voluminous waves with the Flexstyle Air Styler requires a few simple steps and the right technique. Follow these detailed instructions to create stunning, long-lasting waves:

1. Prepare Your Hair and Section

Start with clean, dry hair. Create two- or three-inch sections in your hair using clips to keep them separate.

2. Select the Barrel

Choose the 1.25-inch barrel attachment for loose waves or the 1-inch barrel for tighter curls. Attach the desired barrel to the base unit.

Before you start straightening, make sure your hair is clean and dry. Detangling your hair will help prevent breakage. Then, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your hair from damage.

2. Choose the Right Heat Setting

The Flexstyle Straightener has five heat settings, from 140°F to 455°F. The ideal temperature for your hair depends on its type and texture. If you have fine or damaged hair, use a lower heat setting. If you have thick or coarse hair, you can use a higher heat setting.

Divide your hair into small sections to make it easier to straighten. Start with the bottom layer and work your way up.

4. Glide the Straightener Through Your Hair

Hold the straightener vertically and place it close to the roots of your hair. Slowly glide the straightener through your hair, from roots to tips. Avoid holding the straightener in one place for too long, as this can cause damage.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all of your hair is straightened. If needed, you can go over sections again to touch up any missed spots.

Here are some additional tips for straightening hair like a pro with the Flexstyle Straightener:

Use a slow, even motion when gliding the straightener through your hair.
Don’t over-straighten your hair. If your hair is naturally curly, you don’t want to make it bone straight.

The Shark Flexstyle is a versatile hair styling tool that can be used on all hair types. However, it is important to choose the right temperature setting to avoid damaging your hair. Here is a guide to help you choose the right temperature setting for your hair type:

Fine Hair

Fine hair is delicate and prone to damage. Therefore, it is important to use a low temperature setting on the Shark Flexstyle. The ideal temperature range for fine hair is 250-300 degrees Fahrenheit (120-150 degrees Celsius).

Thick Hair

Thick hair is the most resistant to heat damage. Therefore, you can use a higher temperature setting on the Shark Flexstyle. The ideal temperature range for thick hair is 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit (175-200 degrees Celsius).

Table of Temperature Settings for Different Hair Types

Hair Type	Temperature Setting
Fine Hair	250-300 degrees Fahrenheit (120-150 degrees Celsius)

Preventing Heat Damage When Using the Flexstyle

Using heat styling tools can be damaging to your hair, but there are ways to minimize the risk of heat damage. Here are some tips for using the Shark Flexstyle without damaging your hair:

1. Use a heat protectant spray.

A heat protectant spray is a must-have for anyone who uses heat styling tools. It creates a barrier between your hair and the heat, which helps to prevent damage. Choose a heat protectant spray that is specifically designed for your hair type.

2. Start with low heat settings.

The higher the heat setting, the more damage it can cause to your hair. Start with the lowest heat setting that will still give you the desired results. You can always increase the heat setting if necessary, but it’s better to err on the side of caution.

3. Don’t hold the Flexstyle in one spot for too long.

If you hold the Flexstyle in one spot for too long, it can cause heat damage to your hair. Move the Flexstyle around constantly to distribute the heat evenly.

4. Take breaks from heat styling.

It’s important to take breaks from heat styling to give your hair a chance to recover. Don’t use the Flexstyle every day, and try to limit your use of other heat styling tools as well.

5. Use a leave-in conditioner.

A leave-in conditioner can help to hydrate and protect your hair from heat damage. Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair after you wash it, and then comb it through to distribute it evenly.

6. Get regular trims.

Split ends are more susceptible to heat damage, so it’s important to get regular trims to remove them. Aim to get a trim every 6-8 weeks.

7. Use a boar bristle brush.

A boar bristle brush is a gentle way to brush your hair and remove tangles. It also helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair, which can help to protect it from heat damage.

8. Avoid using heat styling tools on wet hair.

Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair, so it’s important to avoid using heat styling tools on it. If you must use a heat styling tool on wet hair, be sure to use a low heat setting and move the tool around constantly.

9. Don’t overbrush your hair.

Overbrushing your hair can cause breakage, which can make your hair more susceptible to heat damage. Brush your hair only as much as necessary to remove tangles.

10. Avoid using chemical hair treatments.

Chemical hair treatments, such as perms and relaxers, can damage your hair and make it more susceptible to heat damage. If you must use a chemical hair treatment, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and avoid over-processing your hair.

11. Protect your hair from the sun and chlorine.

The sun’s UV rays and chlorine can damage your hair, so it’s important to protect it when you’re outdoors. Wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair from the sun, and rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming in a pool.

12. Eat a healthy diet.

A healthy diet can help to nourish your hair and make it less susceptible to heat damage. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.

13. Get enough sleep.

When you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol can damage your hair and make it more susceptible to heat damage. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

14. Manage stress.

Stress can also damage your hair and make it more susceptible to heat damage. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.

15. Use the Flexstyle correctly.

To avoid heat damage, it’s important to use the Flexstyle correctly. Here are some tips:

Choose the right heat setting for your hair type. The Flexstyle has three heat settings: low, medium, and high.
Start with the lowest heat setting and increase the heat as needed.
Don’t hold the Flexstyle in one spot for too long.
Move the Flexstyle around constantly to distribute the heat evenly.
Take breaks from heat styling to give your hair a chance to recover.

By following these tips, you can use the Shark Flexstyle to style your hair without damaging it.

Achieving a Smooth and Sleek Finish with the Flexstyle

1. Choose the Right Brush Head

For a smooth and sleek finish, select the FlexStyle’s Paddle brush head. Its wide, flat bristles effortlessly smooth frizzy hair, distributing natural oils evenly for a polished look.

2. Prepare Your Hair

Before styling, brush your hair thoroughly to remove tangles and distribute any leave-in products. This will help the FlexStyle achieve an even glide and prevent snagging.

3. Section Your Hair

Divide your hair into smaller sections for easier styling. This will allow you to focus on each section individually, ensuring a smooth and polished result.

4. Use a Moderate Temperature

Start with a moderate temperature setting on the FlexStyle to avoid damaging your hair. Adjust the heat as needed, depending on your hair type and desired finish.

5. Glide the Brush Slowly

Hold the FlexStyle parallel to your scalp and glide it through your hair slowly and evenly. Avoid pulling or jerking the brush, as this can cause breakage.

6. Focus on the Ends

Pay special attention to the ends of your hair when brushing. These areas tend to be drier and more prone to split ends. Smooth them out to create a cohesive, polished look.

7. Use the Ionic Technology

The FlexStyle’s ionic technology releases negative ions that neutralize positive ions in the hair. This reduces static, leaving your hair smooth and frizz-free.

8. Set Your Style

Once you have achieved your desired smoothness, use the FlexStyle’s cool shot button to cool down the bristles. This will help set your style and prevent it from frizzing or losing its shape.

9. Follow Up with a Serum or Oil

To enhance the smooth finish, apply a small amount of hair serum or oil to the ends of your hair. This will add shine and further reduce frizz.

10. Brush Regularly

To maintain your smooth and sleek style, brush your hair regularly with the FlexStyle. This will help distribute natural oils, prevent tangles, and prolong the effects of your styling.

11. Clean the Brush Head Regularly

To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, clean the FlexStyle’s brush head regularly. Remove any hair and debris by gently brushing it out or rinsing it under running water.

12. Store the FlexStyle Properly

When not in use, store the FlexStyle in a safe and dry location away from heat sources. This will help prevent damage to the appliance and preserve its functionality.

Addressing Hair Tangling and Breakage When Using the Flexstyle

40. Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

One of the most important tips for avoiding hair tangling and breakage when using the Flexstyle is to use a wide-tooth comb. This type of comb helps to gently detangle hair without pulling or tearing it. Start combing your hair from the ends and work your way up to the roots. This will help to prevent tangles from forming.

41. Section Your Hair

Before you start styling your hair with the Flexstyle, section it into smaller sections. This will make it easier to control and style your hair, and it will also help to prevent tangles from forming. Use hair clips or ties to keep the sections separate.

42. Use Heat Protectant Spray

Heat protectant spray is a must-have for anyone who uses heat styling tools on their hair. This product helps to protect your hair from heat damage, which can lead to tangles and breakage. Be sure to apply heat protectant spray to your hair before you use the Flexstyle.

43. Use the Lowest Heat Setting

When using the Flexstyle, it is important to use the lowest heat setting that will still allow you to achieve the desired style. Higher heat settings can damage your hair and make it more prone to tangles and breakage.

44. Avoid Over-Styling

Over-styling your hair can lead to tangles and breakage. When using the Flexstyle, be sure to use it only as needed. If you are trying to achieve a specific style, be patient and work slowly. Don’t try to do too much at once.

45. Use a Detangling Brush

If you do experience hair tangles, use a detangling brush to gently remove them. Detangling brushes are designed to remove tangles without pulling or tearing your hair. Start brushing your hair from the ends and work your way up to the roots.

46. Avoid Brushing Wet Hair

Brushing wet hair can lead to tangles and breakage. If your hair is wet, allow it to air dry or towel dry it before brushing. When you brush wet hair, the hair strands are more fragile and prone to breakage.

47. Use a Leave-In Conditioner

Leave-in conditioner can help to keep your hair moisturized and free of tangles. Apply leave-in conditioner to your hair after you wash it and style it as usual. Leave-in conditioner can help to strengthen your hair and make it less prone to breakage.

48. Get Regular Trims

Regular trims are important for preventing hair tangles and breakage. When you get a trim, the stylist will remove any damaged or split ends. This will help to keep your hair healthy and free of tangles.

49. Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Tight hairstyles can put stress on your hair and make it more prone to tangles and breakage. When styling your hair, avoid using tight ponytails, braids, or buns. If you must wear your hair in a tight style, be sure to use a hair protectant product to help protect your hair.

50. Other Tips

Here are some other tips to help you avoid hair tangles and breakage when using the Flexstyle:

Use a silk or satin pillowcase to prevent friction and tangles.
Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangles.
Avoid using harsh hair care products, such as sulfates and parabens.
Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Versatility: The Flexstyle can be used to create a variety of styles, including curls, waves, and straight hair. Hair straighteners are limited to creating straight hair.
Damage reduction: The Flexstyle uses heat protectant technology and infrared heat to minimize hair damage. Hair straighteners typically use higher temperatures and can damage hair over time.
