With Christmas well in ours sights, we all want to be looking our best this party season and as the biggest shopping event of the year gets closer and closer, it seems retailers are massively reducing the cost of their best selling beauty items ahead of Black Friday, which is taking place on November 24. And one of those is Amazon, which has slashed the price of viral the Shark Flex-Style 4-in-1 by 20%, reducing the original price by over £50.
Pricing the hair styling tool - which has been dubbed as a "game changer" when it comes to giving yourself a bouncy blowout at home - at £215.99, it makes it cheaper than Boots UK, £229.49, Very (£219.99) and Shark's own website. So we have no doubt that this deal will be snapped up fast - especially as the viral tool has had over 480 million views on social media platform TikTok with beauty buffs showcasing their perfectly coiffed hair as a result of the Shark Flexstyle.
The hairdryer, which one shopper has described as the "Best hair styler I have had", comes with four different attachments to suit all hair types from curly, coily and wavy to straight and claims to dry hair with "no heat damage" and in lightening speed thanks to its powerful motor. It's also got a cool shot feature to lock in the style. With its wand attachment, you can also say goodbye to your beloved curling tongs as the tool allows you to curl your hair while you dry it - it also comes with an oval brush for sleekness and to amp up the volume, a styling concentrator and a curling diffuser.

With it only being less than 700g, the Flexstyle is ultra-lightweight meaning you won't get that dreaded arm ache from having to hold your heavy hairdryer up in the air for half an hour, especially seeing as you can rotate the head of the dryer to suit your angle.
While many have compared this hair styling tool with the Dyson Airwrap (which costs over £400) - our friends over at The Mirror pitted them against eachother here - the lower price gives the Shark some points when it comes to those who want luscious locks for a fraction of the price. And it's not just the price, it seems, as the product has received a whole a bunch of five star reviews.
One stated: "Love love love this! Hair drys beautifully. The brush attachment gives smooth results. Very happy."
Another said: "I love the swivel head on this product. I feels more directional controllable than the Dyson alternative, which I’ve used for a decent amount of time to compare, giving quick drying.
"The attachments are easy to use. The curling barrels,while only two, are decent length so again styling is speedy once you get used to how much of your hair you grab each time. I have the diffuser option which gives a lovely little bounce curl for my slightly wavy natural hair. A fab keener priced dryer / styler I’m glad I got."
"A great tool for wavy , curly and afro hair that helps prevent your hair from heat damage. The auto wrap curlers are magical," marvelled a third, "They gave me bouncy curls in just one go and the diffuser is brilliant if you want defined hair . The hairdryer nozzle , dries at a quicker speed, for the price and what it does I would recommend this product."
Although a large portion of shoppers loved the styler, as with all products there were a few for whom it didn't quite work.
One shopper stated: "Didn’t seem to work that well but feel that I need to try it again."
Beauty lovers are also loving the Bellissima Italia 8 in 1 Air Wonder Hot Air Style, that retails from Boots at only £69.99. For something even better value, the BaByliss Air Style 1000 Hot Air Hair Styler - available from John Lewis for £45 - comes with a drying nozzle, a 50mm thermal brush and a conical barrel and has been described as "an efficacious and easy to use styling brush. A must have for your beauty wardrobe which quickly achieves the desired result."
