HD600 Series Shark® FlexFusion™ - FAQs

Due to the new Fusion technology, the Shark FlexFusion™ accessories are not compatible with any other hair dryers including the Shark FlexStyle™ and Shark SpeedStyle™.

Shark FlexFusion™ is designed as a mutli-styler and hot tool, with new technology that requires a different base design than FlexStyle. It also differs from Flexstyle as it is lighter, smaller and gives more styling options with the ability to style hair wet or dry!

Use the Cool Shot button to finish the style. When diffusing curls or when using the curlers, press and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds to help lock in your style and set the shape of your curls or waves. To tame frizz using the Concentrator or Styling Brush accessories, press and hold the Cool Shot button while moving downward from roots to ends. To shape ends using the Concentrator or Styling Brush accessories, wrap the ends of your hair around a round brush or around the bristles on the Styling Brush and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds.

To change to hair dryer mode, slide down the hinge latch button on the back of the hair dryer and rotate the nozzle left until it clicks. (The nozzle is unlocked when the hinge latch button is held in the down position.) 

To change back to styling wand mode, slide the hinge latch button down and rotate the nozzle back up until it clicks into place. 

Try holding down the Cool Shot button for at least 10 seconds before turning off your hair dryer after styling to help cool it down.

This hair dryer has been designed for North American homes. Using it in other countries is not recommended and will void your warranty.

This could be a sign that your hair dryer needs to be cleaned. Slide the filter cover off the bottom of the unit and use a new toothbrush to clean any builtup dust off the filter. Slide the filter cover back into place before using the hair dryer again. We recommend cleaning the filter monthly to help maintain performance.

No, the Shark FlexStyle does not have an ionizer.

Coanda Technology is used by the Auto-Wrap Curlers to automatically wrap your hair around the barrels using airflow.

Using cool air at the end of styling helps to seal the hair cuticle and lock in your style. When curling using the Auto-Wrap Curlers, using the cool shot button for 10 seconds after you have applied heat for 10 seconds helps to seal the cuicle as well an lock in your curls.

Slide the filter cover off of the bottom of the unit, then use a new toothbrush to clean any built-up dust off the filter. Slide the filter cover back on the bottom of the hair dryer before using the hair dryer again. We recommend cleaning the filter monthly to help maintain unit performance.

The PRCD plug is a new design element of FlexFusion™. It is needed for the technology of the Wet-or-Dry Fusion accessories. 

The plug on FlexFusion™ is 3.75" x 1.47" x 1.37". The new Wet-or-Dry Fusion accessories require additional safety components in the device. For the best styling experience, we have moved those electronics into the plug to make FlexFusion™ as lightweight as possible.

Your FlexFusion™ can come with you in your domestic travels in checked luggage or hand luggage. However, your FlexFusion™ is manufactured to work in your country of purchase so it will not work when traveling internationally due to voltage differences. Do not try to use an adapter or a converter as it may cause damage to the device and void your warranty. 

Make sure not to cover the filter at the bottom with your hand. This will block the air inlet, and will cause a reduction in performance and can lead to overheating. We also recommend cleaning the filter monthly to help maintain unit performance. Slide the filter cover off of the bottom of the unit, then use a new toothbrush to clean any built-up dust off the filter. Slide the filter cover back on the bottom of the hair dryer before using the hair dryer again.

For consistent performance, you must regularly clean the filter in your Shark FlexFusion.

Always make sure that your FlexFusion is turned off and unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

1. To access the filter, gently pull off the filter cover on the bottom of the hair dryer.

2. Use a dry cloth or a clean toothbrush to gently brush off all dust and debris from the mesh filter. Brush in a downward motion in the direction of the power cord. Use an alcohol cleaning wipe to remove any stuck-on debris.

3. When the filter is clean, brush dust and debris off the filter cover, then slide the cover back onto the bottom of the hair dryer until it clicks into place. Turn on the unit and allow it to run for a minute or two.

Your Shark FlexFusion is now ready to start styling again.

• This could be a sign that your hair dryer needs to be cleaned. Slide the filter cover off the bottom of the unit and use a new toothbrush to clean any built-up dust off the filter. Slide the filter cover back on the bottom of the hair dryer before using the hair dryer again.

• This may also happen if the dryer has been used for a long time. Set the dryer aside to cool, or cool the unit by using the Cool Shot button. 
• Make sure not to cover the filter with your hand, since that can cause the unit to overheat.

• Press the reset button on the plug. If the dryer still will not turn on, check the circuit breaker.
• Failure to turn on can also be due to overheating. If your hair dryer powers off during use, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before trying again.

Remove the accessory from the unit and turn it upside down. You should see several shiny, gold pins on the bottom surface of the attachment. Wipe the pins with a DRY microfiber cloth. There could be liquid or debris that is in the way of the pin connection. Remember to NOT place your accessories down on wet surfaces or under water.  

For the straightener, when it is cool, you can wipe down the ceramic plates with an alcohol wipe. For the brush, when it is cool, you can wipe between the teeth of the heated ceramic comb with an alcohol wipe. Remove any hair from the bristles between uses.

You can clean the accessories with a alcohol wipe or dry cloth. 

The Accessories will get hot during use. Hold at cool touch points.

We wanted to do a refresh of the FlexStyle curler to set ourselves apart in the market for Coanda curlers. There is no difference in performance.

Attach the Auto-Wrap Curlers to create waves or curls with less heat. The Auto-Wrap Curlers use air to wrap your slightly damp hair around the barrel and dry it in place. Reference your style guide and how-to videos to learn how to properly use the Auto-Wrap Curlers.

The recommended settings for the Auto-Wrap Curlers are high heat and high airflow.

Make sure the Auto-Wrap Curler you are using is fully clicked into place before use. You will know the Auto-Wrap Curler is locked in when you hear or feel a click, and when the styler lock is positioned at the top of its slot. If needed, twist the Auto-Wrap Curler clockwise slightly as you push it on. If the Auto-Wrap Curler still falls off before or during use, please call a customer service representative for additional assistance.

• Prep your hair for curling by adding lightweight products such as a curl-creating serum, curl mousse, or a texture spray made for your hair type. 
• Make sure your hair is slightly damp (80 to 90% dry) before curling.
• Use the high heat and high flow settings.
• Keep your hair on the barrel using high heat, high airflow for 10 seconds.
• Before removing your hair from the barrel, press and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds.
• Repeat high heat, high airflow for 10 seconds and Cool Shot for 10 seconds until hair is completely dry.
• Roll each curl up to your roots and pin it in place while you continue to style the rest of your hair. Keep the curls pinned until they are fully cooled. 
• Allow curls to cool completely before running your fingers through them.
• Use a setting or holding spray after you create each curl.

• Prep your hair for curling by adding lightweight products such as a curl-creating serum, curl mousse, or a texture spray made for your hair type. 
• We recommend using the Paddle Brush or Oval Brush to dry, smooth and stretch your hair until it is slightly damp (80 to 90% dry) before curling.
• Use the high heat and high flow settings.
• Keep your hair on the barrel using high heat, high airflow for 10 seconds.
• Before removing your hair from the barrel, press and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds.
• Repeat high heat, high airflow for 10 seconds and Cool Shot for 10 seconds until hair is completely dry. 
• Allow curls to cool completely before running your fingers through them.
• Use a setting or holding spray after you create each curl.

Depending on your hair type, your hair may come off the barrel in a ringlet. Before breaking up the curl, we recommend using a hold spray. Once the hair is fully cooled and sprayed, rake your fingers through the ringlet to break it up into a wave.

There are 2 curling barrels included in your model. The left barrel curls your hair in a counterclockwise direction, while the right barrel curls in a clockwise direction. To change the direction of your curls, simply switch barrels.

Make sure you are taking sections that are the same size. (For example, if you find 1-inch sections work best for your hair type, make sure every section you take is a 1-inch section.) Make sure to take sections that are square at the root. The hair in each section you take should be all the same length.

The left barrel has an L printed on top, and the right barrel has an R on top. Use these on your left and right side to create curls directing away from your face.

The left barrel will create counterclockwise curls, and the right barrel will create clockwise curls.

• Try taking a smaller section of hair to wrap.
• Test out different moisture levels with your hair. Different hair types may require more or less moisture for optimal curling.
• Try holding your hair section closer to or farther from the ends, for better pickup and wrap. 
• Make sure to bring the barrel behind the ends of your hair section so that the tips will automatically wrap around the middle of the barrel.

Try holding a smaller section of hair if you are having difficulty wrapping it around the barrel.

Stretch and lengthen your hair using the Paddle Brush or Oval Brush prior to curling. You may find that you need to flat-iron your hair before curling to help create a smoother curl.

• Before curling, try using lightweight products such as a curl-creating serum, curl mousse, or a texture spray. 
• Try holding smaller sections of hair to make it easier for your hair to wrap around the barrel.

Use sectioning clips or hair ties to prevent unwanted hair from being wrapped around the barrel.

Manually wrap a half-inch-to-1-inch section of hair around the barrel and hold it in place the way you would with a traditional hot curling wand. Turn on the styling wand while still holding your hair on the barrel. Hold hair in place for 10 seconds, then press and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds to set your style. Repeat until your hair is completely dry. Turn off the styling wand, let go of your hair section, and reveal your curl! 

You can also try holding the styling wand horizontally for a tighter curl around the barrel.

• Try holding smaller sections of hair so more hair is able to wrap around the barrel. 
• Hold the barrel horizontally so more hair will stay on.

• Try holding a smaller section of hair. 
• Hold the styling wand horizontally when curling instead of vertically. 
• After your hair has started to wrap, create tension around the barrel by pulsing the barrel towards and away from your face as you bring it in towards your roots. The pulses will wrap your hair tighter around the barrel, which will help create a tighter curl.

Attach this styler to the hair dryer and use it on all hair types to dry, smooth, defrizz, and add volume—all at the same time. Smoothing boar bristles enable grabbing, smoothing, and shining, while detangling bristles enable combing and detangling. The heated comb portion helps to add shine and smooth out any tough curls or frizz. Best for straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair.

The recommended settings for the Active Round Brush are high heat and medium airflow.

Make sure the Active Round Brush is fully clicked into place before use. You will know the Active Round Brush is locked in when you hear or feel a click, and when the styler lock is positioned at the top of its slot. The heated comb portion should also line up with the UI on the front of the device. If the Active Round Brush still falls off before or during use, please call a customer service representative for additional assistance. 

The Active Round Brush has two types of bristles. One type is a high-heat-capacity nylon, and the other is boar. The nylon bristles are larger and help in combing and detangling, while drying at the same time. The boar bristles promote grabbing, smoothing, and shining, while seamlessly distributing your hair's natural oils.

If you find that you get frizz when using the brush, decrease the airflow. If you still get some frizz, finish styling by brushing down the outside of the hair and pulling the hair through the boar bristles, then use Cool Shot to relax the cuticle. Try using hair products made for your hair type that help to reduce frizz before and after styling.

Try reducing the airflow to help reduce frizz and improve smoothing. This will also help you to have better control over your styling. Use hair products made for your hair type that help to reduce frizz before and after styling.

The plates are approximately 1" (2.54cm) wide and 3.42" (8.6cm) long.

Attach the Curl-Defining Diffuser for fast, consistent drying from root to tip. To enable curl perfection, our Curl-Defining Diffuser features retractable and extendable prongs. Retract the prongs for shorter, finer hair and less heat on the scalp. Extend the prongs for longer, thicker hair and to reach and lift at the root. Best for wavy, curly, and coily hair.

The recommended settings for the Curl-Defining Diffuser are low heat and low airflow.

The prongs on the Curl-Defining Diffuser extend and retract to allow a customized diffusing experience. Slide the lever left or right to extend or retract. Extend the prongs for very thick, long, or coarse hair. They help reach the roots, and will help if you have a difficult time drying them. Retract the prongs for shorter or finer hair, or when you only want to dry the ends.

Make sure the Curl-Defining Diffuser is fully clicked into place before use. You will know it is locked in when you hear or feel a click, and when the styler lock is positioned at the top of its slot. If needed, twist the Diffuser slightly as you push it on.

The Shark FlexFusion™ Curl-Defining Diffuser is not compatible with any other hair dryers including the Shark FlexStyle™ and Shark SpeedStyle™.

Attach the Styling Concentrator to dry and style in fewer steps. The Styling Concentrator rotates, so airflow is always in line with your round brush. Use the airpath for a quick, all-over dry, then finish with a round brush for smoothing, shaping, and bending. Best for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair.

Make sure the Styling Concentrator is fully clicked into place before use. You will know the concentrator is locked in when you hear or feel a click, and when the styler lock is positioned at the top of its slot. If needed, twist the Styling Concentrator slightly as you push it on. If the Styling Concentrator still falls off before or during use, please call a customer service representative for additional assistance.
