# Shark hair stylers compared: FlexStyle, Glam and SpeedStyle Source: https://blowandbarrel.co.uk/best/shark-hair-stylers-compared Publisher: Blow and Barrel. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://blowandbarrel.co.uk/how-we-pick Shark sells its hair tools in many bundles, and the model names alone do not tell you what is in the box. FlexStyle is the twist-to-style multi-styler. FlexStyle IonCurl adds ions and stronger curl wrapping. Glam mixes heated ceramic with airflow. SpeedStyle Pro is a straight dryer with clip-on IQ attachments, sold in a fixed or folding handle. This guide compares the main bundles on what matters when choosing: attachments included, curlers, whether a diffuser comes in the box, and wattage. Shark lists a 2 year guarantee on registration for most of these in the UK and ROI. Everything else comes from each listing, and missing details are marked as not stated. ## Products ### 1.
