I have shoulder length, thin hair and am looking for something to put a bit more volume into it. I feel like it looks lank all the time.

I also want something that will dry my hair quickly and if I can use it on my daughters longer, thicker hair that would be an absolute bonus.

I am going bogeyed reading review after review, please can anybody recommend which of these would be better for me/is? Thank you.

I have the speedstyle and really like it.
I also looked at a lot of reviews and got very confused!!
In the end what swung me towards the speedstyle was that it's cheaper and I couldn't really see what made the flexstyle SO much more expensive - iirc you can get a curler attachment for the flexstyle, but I can use my existing straighteners for the rare occasions I want a curler.

Using the speedstyle means I can dry my shoulder length hair quite quickly. It's fine, but I have a lot of it. I dry it to 80% as advised in the booklet then use the roller brush attachment to give some extra oomph to the roots as otherwise they look a bit sad and flat.
The absolute BEST bit for me is the attachment that "smooths" your hair. You just hold the thing near your head and turn it on, it attracts the hair to it and as you glide down it's like it makes all the separate hairs attract to each other. So it looks lovely and no flyaways, instead of like candy floss which mine would otherwise look like! Mine is bleached and dyed.

I have both and use my speed style far far more than the flex style. It drys my hair so much better than any other dryer I’ve had. I have fine but lots of hair and normally takes forever. It’s much less frizzed since using it too. Unless you desperately want the curl function, I’d go speed style.

Thank you so much both of you. You’ve definitely made my mind up, I’m going to go with the speed style, looks like there’s lots of offers on at the moment too, the only decision I need to make now is whether or not to wait until Black Friday or just go for it now.
