When it comes to hair styling tools, everyone automatically assumes that either the Dyson Air Wrap or the Shark Flex are the holy grail of hair curlers. Although both are excellent choices – and popular amongst hair stylists and celebs alike – there’s another air styler on the market that’s been proving a major hit.
The Mark Hill Pick 'N' Mix Air Flexi Air Styler Starter Kit is the perfect budget-friendly alternative to both Dyson and Shark’s offerings, and it costs up to 70% less than either of them. Currently included in Boots’ Black Friday sale, the Mark Hill Air Styler has been reduced from £169.99 to £119.99.

This newly discounted price not only saves you £50, but is also cheaper than both the Dyson and Shark versions – despite both also being reduced in a Black Friday sale. Currently the Dyson Air Wrap has been slashed from £479.99 to £399.99, making the Mark Hill Styler £280 cheaper. Meanwhile the Shark Flex Style has been slashed from £269.99 to £199.99, making it £80 more expensive than Mark Hill’s Flexi Air Styler.
Shoppers have also been raving about how well it holds up compared to the two top-tier stylers, with one saying: “Just as good as the Dyson - but half the price. What's not to like!”

I am fully obsessed I use it every day for a blow dry look and I just love how it makes my hair look. The blow dry last so long as well, very powerful and great quality."
A third added: “I bought this a month ago & I’m soooo impressed, I can’t believe how good this product is for the price! Would 100% recommend over the Dyson air wrap for half the price.”
However one did add: “Got the Mark Hill Air Styler just over a week ago. I used it a few times and LOVED it - I have short fine hair for reference. And then 2 days ago, half way through my hair it just stopped working. I thought it may have overheated so I unplugged it and left it for over an hour. When I tried to turn it back on, there was a light that kept flashing but no power. I've had to return it as a result. It's a shame because I did like it, but I've now opted to spend a bit more money on another brand in the hopes it's more reliable.”

Mark Hill)The Mark Hill Styler comes with three different attachments to help create plenty of different hair styles. There’s a hairdryer attachment, which allows you to quickly dry your locks, as well as a 45mm hot brush that’s ideal for giving your hair plenty of volume and bounce.
There’s also two 28mm auto curling barrels, which use air to help wrap your hair and create effortless and precise curls. You can also buy additional attachments separately, allowing you to create a styler that works perfectly for your hair.
It has a twist handle which lets you access all areas of your hair with minimal effort (or aching arms). You can also choose from three different heat settings and three speed settings, so you can customise it to suit your hair type.
If you’re looking for even more of a bargain, the Bellissima Italia Air Wonder 8 in 1 Hot Air Styler has also gotten a major Black Friday discount, after being reduced from £129.99 to £89.99. This comes with eight different attachments, including curlers, hair dryer attachments and several different round styling brushes.
