Shark FlexStyle: The crowd favorite at half the price – “I have pin straight Asian hair… Just recently got Shark FlexStyle and loving it so far” (32+ upvotes)
Budget options: Many mention cheaper dupes in the $60-100 range that work nearly as well

How to Make It Work Better

Use the right products: “I use Drybar’s Seltzer Spritz” before styling
Don’t skip the gel: “If I use medium hold gel (I use biolage) my curls last for days!” (4+ upvotes)
Use rollers after: Most successful users put hair in rollers after styling to help set it

The Verdict

For $600, you’d expect perfection, but that’s not what most people get. Some absolutely love their Airwrap and use it daily, while others regret spending so much on something that breaks easily and doesn’t hold styles well. Even refurbished units purchased directly from Dyson have reliability issues that leave buyers “beyond disappointed.”

The Shark FlexStyle comes up constantly as a better value for similar results. If you do buy the Airwrap, be ready for a learning curve and grab some good styling products to help make your styles last.
