It has only been a few days since technology and haircare brand, Shark, launched its brand new SpeedStyle hairdryer model – but already, shoppers are raving about the “must-have” product, which promises a salon-quality blow dry from your own home.
Shark is renowned for its trusted hairdryers that help protect your locks from heat damage, without breaking the bank, and the SpeedStyle Pro FLEX 4-in-1 High Velocity Hairdryer is proving to be no different.
The brand’s latest release, which comes in a sleek mocha and silver colour, is designed to deliver high-velocity airflow for wet-to-dry styling with no heat damage, leaving you with a sleek, flawless finish and a high-gloss shine without having to visit a salon.
It comes with four styling attachments to help you get your hair looking perfect without any frizz – from the QuickSmooth Brush, for voluminous, straight styles, to the DefrizzFast Diffuser, which is best for defined curls, and features retractable or extendable prongs to keep heat away from your scalp whether you have shorter, finer hair, or longer, thicker locks.
Meanwhile, the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool automatically attracts hair, fights frizz, and smooths flyaways, using Coanda airflow technology with two streams of air to collect and reduce flyways on dry, straight, or straightened hair.
The SpeedStyle hairdryer also features a Scalp Shield Mode which can be activated to instantly reduce air temperatures to the recommended safe level for scalp comfort and root drying, helping to protect new hair growth from extreme heat.
It is also compact, weighing just 1.1kg, and able to fold to half its size for easy storage in bags, carry-ons, or simply for tidying away at home. The folding hairdryer comes with a lightweight and compact travel-friendly design for easy carrying, while still delivering powerful drying.
It is priced at £199.99, a fraction of the price of a Dyson Air Wrap, and if early reviews are anything to go by, this Shark product is worth every penny – as every reviewer so far has given it a perfect five-star rating.
One happy customer called the hairdryer a “must-have”, writing: “After using a few times, this is my new favourite hairdryer. Very light and with all the different attachments you can do everything in one.
“Specifically love the attachment which defrizzes your hair, no need for straightening your hair after. The hairdryer folds down small, perfect for travelling. There are adjustable heat and speed, hands-down the best hairdryer I have used. 100% recommend.”
Another called it “essential”, commenting: “I love this product. It’s so lightweight, I love how it’s easily manoeuvre-able, the attachments are great and really do make a difference, especially the shine attachment. I have curly hair and I highly recommend this product, so easy to tame.”
And a third added: “I love it! It’s a good alternative for the more expensive Air Wrap if you looking to have a salon blow dry at home. Easy to use once you get used to it. Totally recommend this one.”
If you are keen to splash out on a Dyson hairdryer, however, you can now save £100 on the Air Wrap Origin Multi-Styler and Dryer, down from £399.99 to £299.99.
