What is FlexFusion?

What is FlexFusion?

Shark FlexFusion is a new multi-styler for wet or dry hair. The Fusion styling and straightening attachments combine Heated Ceramic plates with Powerful Airflow, creating styles that last – whether your hair is Wet or Dry. That means you can create salon-styles on just-washed AND next-day hair, without needing to re-wash it.

✔ Styling attachments use Heated Ceramic + Powerful Airflow
✔ Scalp Shield Mode: Designed to protect new hair growth from extreme heat
✔ Dry and style Wet Hair with no heat damage* (*In wet-to-dry mode)
✔ Re-style Dry Hair without re-washing it
✔ Smaller and lighter than FlexStyle
✔ Perfect for all hair types

Are FlexFusion attachments compatible with my FlexStyle?

No, the Fusion styling attachments with ceramic elements can only be used with FlexFusion, and are not compatible with FlexStyle models. This is because the FlexFusion body contains an extra electrical connection needed to power the ceramic elements.

Do all FlexFusion attachments have Ceramic plates?

No, only the Fusion Straightener and Fusion Brush accessories feature the ceramic plates. Shark FlexFusion also includes some air-only attachments, such as Shark’s iconic Auto-Wrap Curlers, classic Concentrator, and adjustable Diffuser.

Which styler is best for my hair type?

All Shark air stylers are suitable for all hair types, with a range of attachments to suit straight, wavy, curly and coily hair types. Both stylers also let you control the temperature and airflow to suit your hair texture, thickness and preference.

How do I choose between them?

How do I choose between them?

Scalp health: If you are concerned about maintaining your scalp health and protecting new hair growth, or find hot air on your scalp while drying uncomfortable, you may prefer FlexFusion due to the new Scalp Shield mode which instantly reduces and regulates air temperatures.

Style longevity: If you have previously found that curls and styles created using air alone don’t quite last long as you’d like, you may prefer FlexFusion because the addition of heated ceramic helps create long-lasting styles.

Do you want to style wet or dry hair: If you will mainly be using your styler after washing your hair, you may prefer FlexStyle as it’s designed to dry and style hair at the same time, with no heat damage. However, if you want a tool designed to restyle second-day hair from dry, without needing to dampen it, opt for FlexFusion which includes Dry Mode for re-styling.

What is the main style you want to achieve: FlexStyle is available with a wide range of attachments, including 2 sizes of Auto-Wrap Curler, while FlexFusion is best for straightening and creating bouncy blow-dries.
