The Shark SmoothStyle, Shark FlexStyle and Shark SpeedStyle are the tools Chris Hunter, Shark Beauty ambassador and salon owner of Willomina in Sydney’s Woollahra, reaches for time and again.
“Lately, we’ve been cutting a lot of bobs in the salon, so my current go-to tool is the Shark SmoothStyle. It makes styling shorter hair super easy and quick, providing great results with minimal effort,” shares Chris.
Keep reading for Chris’ tips on the best ways to use the Shark Beauty tools at home to create your dream hair.
1. Shark SmoothStyle
marie claire: What specific hair types and styles do you use the Shark SmoothStyle for?
Chris Hunter: The Shark SmoothStyle is like a magic wand for all hair types! It is versatile and can be used on fine, straight, thick, curly and afro hair. Its adaptable settings make it suitable for various styling needs, whether you’re looking for a sleek, straight look or soft, natural waves.
How do you incorporate the different heat modes into your styling process?
Start by drying your hair from wet to dry with one of the three blow-dry settings. For those next day touch-ups or a super straight look, switch to dry hair mode and let the SmoothStyle work its magic. This mode ensures your hair remains smooth and frizz-free, providing a polished finish. It’s like having a personal stylist on standby!
Can you share a pro tip for achieving the best results with the SmoothStyle?
The dry heat mode is a lifesaver for taming those pesky flyaways. Just a quick pass, and you’re good to go, looking as fresh as when you first styled your hair.
How can users avoid heat damage while using this tool at home?
Shark Beauty hair tools are designed to be gentle on your hair without heat damage, but using a high-quality heat protector can further safeguard your hair. It’s like a shield for your strands, keeping them healthy and happy.

What makes the Shark FlexStyle stand out for you as a professional?
The Shark FlexStyle is a game changer, especially with its TikTok-famous auto wrap curlers. They’re a stylist’s dream, making it super easy to create gorgeous, long-lasting curls.
Which hairstyles do you find it most effective for, and why?
The FlexStyle is the ultimate multitasker. It’s perfect for any hairstyle and a reliable tool for all styles, from blowouts to elegant updos. Its design makes it your hair’s best friend, ensuring you get exactly the look you want every time. All the attachments work exceptionally well and deliver the desired results, whether you’re aiming for voluminous curls or a sleek blowout.
What are some common mistakes to avoid when using the FlexStyle?
To make your curls last all day, don’t forget to use a high-quality mousse post-wash. This will help set the curls and maintain their shape throughout the day. And remember, too much heat can be a no-no, so always start low and slow.
