Don’t Sleep on Shark’s Hair Tools — Here Are 6 Editor Favorites

Shark SmoothStyle Heated Comb + Blow Dryer Brush ($99)

The Shark SmoothStyle Heated Comb + Blow Dryer Brush is a go-to hair tool for celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. "I recommend the Shark SmoothStyle Heated Comb & Blow Dryer Brush for smoothing and styling the hair with no frizz and minimal damage," he previously told PS. This blow dryer brush has a built-in heated comb that delivers hair-smoothing effects without it becoming flat. You can use the blow dryer brush mode on wet and dry hair, while the heated comb mode is ideal for styling and touch-ups. If you rely on blow dryer brushes for your styling needs, this tool is all you need.

Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher and High-Velocity Dryer ($150, originally $200)

If you primarily blow dry your hair, this hair dryer has everything you need to create that voluminous salon blowout. Along with the ionic technology featured in the HyperAIR hair dryer, this one has four heat settings, three airflow settings, and a cool shot. It's best for those who rely on a blow dryer for their styling needs, but if you already have the FlexStyle, this may be redundant for your routine. Read more in our Shark SpeedStyle editor review.

Attachments: For curly and coily hair: a DefrizzFast Diffuser, a RapidGloss Finisher, and a QuickSmooth paddle brush; for straight and wavy hair: a RapidGloss Finisher, a QuickSmooth paddle brush, and a concentrator; additional attachments: an Express Touchup round brush and a wide-tooth comb.

Editor Quote: "The Shark SpeedStyle is one of the most impressive hair dryers on the market. It delivers smooth, frizz-free results thanks to an ionizer that releases negative ions. As someone who often struggles with managing frizz and flyaways, I noticed an instant difference (and significantly less frizz) while using this hair tool compared to others. Its incredibly lightweight and sleek design makes it easy to hold and maneuver. The attachment that impressed me the most is the RapidGloss Finisher. As someone with stubborn flyways, this has been a game changer. It delivers that glossy, sleek look; it's the secret weapon that makes your hair look like it's been professionally styled." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Shopping

Shark HyperAIR Ionic Hair Dryer ($180, originally $230)

The Shark HyperAIR Ionic Hair Dryer dries your hair quickly while managing frizz and flyaways with its negative ion generator. It has three different speed settings and three different heat settings, along with a cool-shot button. This is ideal for those who want a no-frills hair dryer that's affordable, easy to use, and quick drying. Check out our review of the Shark HyperAIR Ionic Hair Dryer.

Attachments: A two-in-one concentrator and a styling brush. The curl-defining diffuser and the AirWave are sold separately.

Editor Quote: "The first thing that sold me on this hair dryer was how fast it is. I have fine hair (and not a ton of it), but I always find blow-drying to be a tedious, time-consuming process. I'm not exaggerating when I say this tool cut my drying time in half, which was enough to make me immediately fall in love. Plus, it's lightweight, and I don't get any dreaded arm soreness when styling my hair. It also isn't too loud, which is surprising considering how fast it is." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Hair Dryer System ($200, originally $230)

If you're in the market for a blow dryer that is travel-friendly, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Hair Dryer System might be your new favorite tool. It has the benefits of the editor-favorite SpeedStyle but with a foldable design. It promises fast drying times for all hair types without using too much heat. This dryer also features a mode that adjusts the temperature to help protect your scalp from extreme heat.

Attachments: A concentrator, a QuickSmooth brush, a DefrizzFast diffuser, and a FrizzFighter finishing tool.

Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System ($320)

The Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System does it all, whether it's a voluminous blowout, beachy waves and curls, or sleek, straight styles. Beyond the attachments, we love the convenience of the flexible wand. Its ergonomic design helps us blow dry and style comfortably without feeling wrist or hand pain. It has three speed settings, three heat settings, and a cool shot. Plus, it's so slim, it's great for traveling. We recommend this to those who want a tool that can replace most other tools, and prefer a streamlined routine. See why our editor loves this model in her review of the Shark FlexStyle Air Drying & Styling System.

Attachments: Two auto-wrap curlers, a curl-defining diffuser, a round brush attachment, a paddle brush, and a concentrator.

Editor Quote: "The Shark FlexStyle transforms from a blow dryer into a hair styler. This is something I personally love because I like to get my hair almost completely dry before I style it. It has a button that allows it to rotate from its blow dryer shape back into a styling wand, and from there you can use one of its attachments to get your desired result. It's truly an all-in-one hair tool that can be used for any occasion, and you can even personalize it by choosing three attachments that you believe you'd use most." — Haley Lyndes, former assistant editor, Shopping

Shark FlexFusion Air & Ceramic System with Air Straightener ($400)

Shark's new FlexFusion Straight, Air & Ceramic System is an upgraded version of the bestselling FlexStyle System that replaces your hair dryer, blow-dryer brush, hot comb, curling iron, and even a straightener. It comes with two unique attachments: the Wet-or-Dry Air Straightener and the Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush. The Wet-or-Dry Air Straightener is a hair straightening attachment that uses both ceramic plates and high velocity concentrated air to deliver smooth, shiny pin-straight hair in just a few passes. The Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush combines the benefits of a blow-dry brush with a hot comb — it's the attachment version of the SmoothStyle Heated Comb Blow-Dryer Brush above.

It also promises no heat damage styling in wet-to-dry mode never exceeding 230°F or approaching heat damaging temperatures of 302°F. If you haven't already invested in a multi-tool, this is worth the splurge, especially if you want a tool that combines a flat iron with a blowout brush and a curling iron. Read our editor's in-depth review of the Shark FlexFusion Straight, Air & Ceramic System for her thoughts on why it's worth it.

Attachments: A Wet-or-Dry Air Straightener, a Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush, two 1.25" auto-wrap curlers, and a styling concentrator.

Editor Quote: "The FlexFusion Straight includes all the FlexStyle benefits, such as the rotating wand and attachments, but has more versatility. For starters, the FlexFusion has a ScalpShield mode that helps protect your scalp from excessive heat exposure and damage. . . the Wet-or-Dry Air Straightener uses concentrated airflow to straighten your hair. It also has a ceramic flat iron, so you get both benefits. Within a few passes, my damp, wavy hair becomes pin-straight with zero frizz and a high-shine finish. This is much more efficient (with less heat damage) than blow drying and using a straightener afterward. I can also use this like a traditional flat iron and get close to my roots to touch up my baby hairs, give my curtain bangs shape, and create face-framing waves." — AR
