Shark - Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool, Hair Dryer, & Air Glosser for Ultra-Fast, High-Gloss, Bouncy Blowouts, No-Heat Damage - Juniper

This thing is a total beast. It’s part curling iron, part blow-dryer, all in one wand with these ceramic-coated plates that heat up fast and glide like butter. You section your hair, clamp down, and pull through—boom, instant glossy shine, no frizz, and it actually smooths while it styles. The heat stays consistent, no hot spots, and it’s way gentler than my old flat iron. Blow-dry mode is legit too; you flip the switch, and it blasts warm air while you curl, so you get volume and that high-shine finish without needing a separate dryer. Only gripes? It’s heavy after a while, and the cord’s a little short. But the results? My hair looks like it got a $200 salon treatment every time. Worth it if you want that glass-hair look without the hassle.

So we've had the Shark Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool in our home for a few days now, I am still learning how to use it. There is some online tutorial videos included with the QR code that greets you when you open the box. The first thing I noticed is how well built the Shark Glossi feels. It is very premium feeling, the handle is sturdy and long enough to keep the heat away from your hand. I wish the cable was a little longer, but it isn't a big deal. You'll just have to stand near an outlet. I'm not sure if the built in brush is replaceable so I appreciate that it feels like it will last a long time. The Glossi has a built in hair dryer with adjustable heat and speeds. I really enjoyed using this product. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be and did not put my arm to sleep as some products tend to do while holding it up to give my hair a voluminous look. I have very straight hair and have never been able to hold a curl or wave no matter how many products I put in my hair. The shark glossy ceramic hot tool did give me a lasting voluminous look for most of the day. I loved how it did not pull my hair while brushing through my strands and I also liked how I was able to use this product while my hair was wet, as it has a built in blow dryer with different temperature settings. I also have frizzy hair on my ends and it left every strand shiny and silky. It had me feeling like I had just left the salon. Unfortunately it did not last too long in my hair, as I mentioned my hair does not tend to keep any type of slight curl or voluminous look but for the little time that it did last it looked and felt great. I just wish my hair would work with me. However, I also did try straightening my hair to have that soft shiny look since my hair tends to stay looking dry and frizzy after I use a regular blow dryer. I must say that did last in my hair even after stepping outside after a rainy day. Like I mentioned earlier, I am still learning how to use it. This is a new tool that I am excited to use more often. I love how it dries and styles my hair at the same time. It makes it more convenient as I no longer have to fiddle with a brush in one hand and hair dryer in the other. All in All, I am very happy with the Shark Glossi. It leaves my hair looking shiny and frizz free while helping me style. Im excited to learn how to do blowouts with this. If you are looking for a tool to do the same, I think you will like it.

This is at its essence a hair dryer with a brush, however it works very differently: One side of the brush has heating elements so it can heat up by blowing hot air and can also heat at higher temperatures on one side of the brush, with or without bowing air. The 'Dry hair' setting does not blow air, so all the heat produced comes from the brush part. Wet hair is more like a hair dryer with three speed settings and three temperature settings. It's electronically controlled so it's more quiet than hair dryers and more precise. Our teens hair can be very frizzy and this does wonders. The only other time I've seen either of them with such a smooth and glossy hair is after a hairdresser appointment, so yes this is very good. The handle can be a bit long to hold but it's manageable. It has some substance but it's not too heavy. The brush is made of a combination of synthetic and natural boar hair. Got it in Teal color and everything is matching from the color of the heater on the comb to the cable and plug. Works and looks great.

Shark/Ninja is a very progressive company creating products that tend to be attractively priced and feature-rich. Often, they forge ahead into new market segments as well as create new categories. Good for them and good for us, wins all around. So, with this product sharing a few features with a much more expensive product that rhymes with “bison” and comes with a herd of accessories, we have a somewhat comparative competitor. Luckily, we’ve been “boarding” a “bison” for a while now and have come to really love it. This Glossi is very close in drying capability with a more unique heat delivering methodology allowing the gloss function to be as effective as it turns out to be. This Shark Glossi is not only easy to use, but also relatively lightweight, and versatile. I would also say that this product worked well for its price point and was quick to learn how to use. This product was used on my straight hair, so I can’t really speak to how it would perform on textured hair. But for my hair type, it worked very well. Upon opening the box, you will find an instruction card that includes some pictures and instructions on how to use the Glossi. There is a QR code printed in several different locations on the box and on the device that leads you to several video tutorials. There is an intro video, a bouncy blowout video, a sleek blowout video, and a few other links to their FAQ page and other shark beauty videos. If you have used other tools similar to this one, you might not need the videos, but they were a helpful visual to use and a good reminder of best practices when getting started. There is both a wet and dry mode on the Glossi. The wet mode is similar to a hairdryer, while the dry mode is similar to a hot tool or curling iron. I used both, and will say that the wet mode dries hair very quickly! There is also a button to adjust the temperature and a button to adjust the speed of the drying feature. The ceramic plate is only on one side of the tool, so you have to get used to being aware of where that plate is when you are using it. One slight drawback for me was that the cord length seemed to be a bit short. If you’re planning to use it in the bathroom, close to an outlet, you probably won’t run into this problem. If you’re planning to use it salon-style, I don’t think this tool would work well for that application. On the other hand, a big plus for the cord, (like the “bison”), is that there is a mechanism employed where the cord is attached to the body of the Glossi, that allows for rotation of the device while in use, preventing the cord from becoming twisted. Awesome feature! Overall, the Glossi is easy to use with the video tutorials in both wet and dry mode. The cord length isn’t too big of a problem if you’re planning to use it close to an outlet, but of course your results may vary. My hair still looked smooth after one night of sleep and a day of work after using the Glossi, which honestly surprised me. So, why do you want to buy this product instead of its competitors? The first may be price, coming in at a reasonable amount for the features offered. Simplicity, in a sense that there are no additional accessories needed (or included) and when traveling, just throw it in a bag and go. Effectiveness, in that it will achieve the results of drying, styling and glossing your hair as desired. I would definitely recommend it to a friend if they’re looking to get that blowout or glossy look!

The Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool & Air Glosser is a styling device that provides powerful airflow with a heated ceramic barrel to deliver a salon-style blowout. In my experience, the product works well, especially on my thick, coarse, curly hair. Likes: 1. I love that it offers two-in-one functionality: both a blow dryer and a straightening/glossing brush. Rather than switching between two of my products or packing both a blow dryer and a straightener, I can use both simultaneously with just the flip of a switch. 2. The Glosser is helpful too, as it cuts down on time. My hair would normally take an hour to just blow dry than straighten. With the Shark Glossi, I don’t have to wait for my hair to be completely dry before I start styling. What normally takes me 1.5 hours, from hair washed to hair completely styled, is now cut to 45 minutes. 3. I end up with smooth, salon-quality results. My coarse, thick, and curly hair usually ends up frizzy when I blow dry, and it requires high heat to tame it down. With the effective heat and air control, the Shark Glossi helps you achieve the style you want without damaging your hair. I have used this tool multiple times now and can confidently say that I have achieved the “blowout from the salon” look, complete with shine and volume. I not only get straight hair, but also bouncy, glossy results. Dislikes: 1. The styling device is somewhat loud, especially when using the higher airflow setting. When styling closer to your face, the hot hair can be felt and is a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable. 2. It took me a couple of passes through my hair to figure out the best technique, and to transition from “wet” to “dry” styling. 3. The tool weighs 1.6lbs. After almost an hour of styling your hair, you feel the weight of the device. Overall verdict: For me, the Shark Glossi 2-in-1 is a win. The combination of a “blow dryer and ceramic heat” makes this a very effective tool. My usual stubborn, thick, coarse, and curly hair is easily transformed into a shiny, bouncy salon-styled look. There is a learning curve, but once you figure it out, the results and the time it takes to get your hair perfect are worth it. I would highly recommend this product, especially if you spend a significant amount of time drying and smoothing your hair. If you want to cut down time and devices, the Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Air Tool and Air Glosser is for you.
