Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overheating the Hair

Reason: Using too high a heat setting can lead to heat damage, resulting in dry, brittle hair and uneven curls.
Solution: Adjust the temperature to a lower setting suitable for your hair type and always use a heat protectant spray before styling.

2. Incorrect Sectioning

Reason: Using sections that are too large or not evenly sized will result in inconsistent curls, some areas looking wavy and others tightly coiled.
Solution: Divide your hair into small, even sections for consistent, well-defined curls throughout.

3. Holding the Styler for Too Long

Reason: Prolonged contact with the hot barrel can lead to burning or excessive heat damage, resulting in frizzy or damaged curls.
Solution: Clamp each section for only a few seconds, depending on your hair type and desired curl size, before moving to the next section.

FAQs

Does the Shark Flexi-Style work on all hair types?
While the Shark Flexi-Style works well on a variety of hair types and textures, it's generally best suited for medium to long hair. Results may vary on very short or extremely thick, coarse hair. You might need to adjust the temperature and time settings accordingly.
How do I avoid heat damage when using the Shark Flexi-Style?
