  "account": "The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl is a new hair styling tool designed to create bouncy curls while reducing frizz and maintaining scalp health. It utilizes the same Coanda airflow technology as the popular Dyson Airwrap, along with ionic technology to tackle static issues. The device comes in two versions: a four-in-one model equipped with two 32mm Coanda curlers, a FrizzFighter high shine polisher, an oval brush, and a styling concentrator nozzle; and a five-in-one version that adds two smaller-diameter curlers.\n\nThe FlexStyle IonCurl boasts an enhanced Coanda airflow compared to the original FlexStyle, ensuring a firmer grip on the hair barrel during styling. Additionally, it features a Scalp Shield mode that automatically adjusts the temperature to protect delicate new growth near the scalp while drying. This innovative mode mirrors the Scalp Protect feature found in the Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer.\n\nWhile the full review is yet to be published, the FlexStyle IonCurl promises to be a cost-effective alternative to the Dyson Airwrap, delivering impressive curling results, versatile attachments, and superior airflow control.",
  "summary": "A major upgrade on the original Shark FlexStyle, with stronger Coanda airflow for bouncier curls, a cool shot option, and ionic tech to reduce static buildup.",
