Take it from us, the Post Wanted shopping pros: there seems to be a new hair tool people are buzzing about every day.
Yet, with all the hoopla that constantly hits the market, the Shark FlexStyle is a never-ceasing gadget in the beauty community. Because of how innovative and versatile it is, not to mention its powerful performance, it’s a must-buy product — and, it’s at its lowest price on Amazon during the retailer’s Black Friday Sale.
Yes, Amazon has officially kicked off its Black Friday Sale even before we flipped the calendar to Nov. 29, and we’re *very* thrilled about it. For 24% off, the Shark FlexStyle is worth grabbing now, and more than 10,000 shoppers purchased it in the past month.

Uniquely, the Shark FlexStyle has the ability to function as an all-in-one styling tool. Unlike traditional hair dryers, flat irons and curling wands, the FlexStyle can perform a variety of tasks, making it a one-stop solution for all your hair styling needs. Whether you’re looking to dry, straighten, curl, or volumize your hair, the FlexStyle has attachments designed for each task you’re looking to tackle.
If you like customizing your look, it’s all the more reason to pick up the Shark FlexStyle while it’s on sale for Black Friday. Here are the attachments, described:
Airwrap for Volume and Curls: The unique air styling technology lifts hair at the roots and creates bouncy curls or voluminous waves without heat damage.
Dryer Nozzle: The fast-drying nozzle delivers powerful airflow to dry hair quickly and efficiently.
Smoothing Brush: Perfect for straightening and smoothing out frizz, this attachment creates a polished, shiny finish.
Round Brush: For added volume and soft curls, the round brush attachment allows for precision styling and bouncy results.
By consolidating multiple tools into one compact device, the FlexStyle not only saves you money on purchasing separate appliances but also frees up space in your bathroom for a more streamlined, clutter-free setup.
What’s more, the Shark FlexStyle works on a variety of hair types and textures. Whether you have fine, medium, or thick hair, you can adjust the settings for optimal styling results. With the ability to select from various heat levels, you can avoid excessive heat exposure, which can cause damage and dryness to your hair over time.
The heat settings range from low to high, while the speed settings ensure that you can dry and style your hair at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Additionally, the tool features a cool shot function, which helps set your style and add extra shine without the need for additional products.
One of the reasons why shoppers — including us — are obsessed with the Shark FlexStyle is for its advanced ion technology, which helps to reduce frizz and enhance shine by releasing negative ions. These ions neutralize static, keeping hair smooth, shiny, and free from flyaways. Better yet, this technology also aids in sealing the hair cuticle, which can lead to healthier hair over time by helping to prevent moisture loss and minimize damage caused by excessive heat styling.
And, if you’re not too keen on spending a ton of money on the similar Dyson Airwrap, the Shark FlexStyle serves as a great alternative that doesn’t compromise efficiency or design. All in all, the Shark FlexStyle is the gold standard for a stylish, ergonomic and fairly priced tool, which is all the more reason to pick it up during Black Friday.
Your Black Friday FAQs, answered by shopping experts
When is Thanksgiving 2024?
Thanksgiving is late this year, falling on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
When is Black Friday 2024?
This year, Black Friday and its much-anticipated sales will occur on Friday, November 29, 2024.
Are early Black Friday deals worth shopping for?
We recommend shopping early for items that are likely to sell out, such as perennial gift favorites like Xbox, Ugg boots, PS5, Apple AirPods, the editor-approved Dyson AirWrap and more.
Can I shop Black Friday sales online?
Yes! Most stores and big box retailers continue to hold traditional in-store Black Friday sales but also match discounts for online shoppers. According to the National Retail Federation, Black Friday has topped Cyber Monday as the busiest day of the calendar year for online shopping since 2019.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?
The earliest usage of “Black Friday” as we know it dates back to the 1950s or ’60s, with “black” nodding to dreaded traffic jams caused by shoppers crowding downtown retail stores, as well as understaffed sales associates. Retailers attempted to rename the day “Big Friday” to signify a day of family fun and shopping. Although the rebrand didn’t stick, the positive connotation did. Retail businesses enjoy increased sales, and consumers enjoy corresponding holiday shopping discounts.
Despite being a great day for retailers, Black Friday still draws on the dark side of American consumerism, as many will remember violent crowds competing for limited merchandise. However, with the advent of internet shopping, retailers and e-tailers have continued to see record-breaking sales in recent years, without the morbid mob mentality kicking off the holiday season.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
This year, the online shopping holiday Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Which is better, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
The short answer is, it depends. Some retailers approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently, discounting various brands and products throughout the days after Thanksgiving, sometimes at different price points.
Traditionally, Cyber Monday offers retailers an opportunity to drop deeper discounts on already on-sale products. However, consumers should take caution: waiting for Cyber Monday is a risk that products, or certain sizes or models, may sell out.
Conversely, some stores don’t differentiate between their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
When is Travel Tuesday 2024?
Jet-setters rejoice: Travel Tuesday, with its great deals on flights, hotels, cruises, all-inclusives, and more, will take place on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
