Shark - SilkiPro Straight Wet to Dry Straightener + Rapid Blow Dryer - Plum Satin

I usually have a lot of trouble drying my thick, long hair, but this product streamlined the whole process! After just a few passes, my whole head was straight and silky smooth. It's definitely a big investment, but it's worth the extra money for the time and energy it saves. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have an easier hair-drying process and smoother hair overall!

This straightener offers different modes that makes your life easier no matter if your hair is wet or dry. Recommended!

I'll say I was skeptical to say the least, the device claims to be able to quickly dry and straighten hair over individual tools. I wont say I was completely won over but I do see the appeal, so lets get into it. Packaging: Packaged like most other products these days, the device, some attachments, some modest documentation and that's it. Use: First, I will say that the paperwork it comes with isn't the most straightforward in the world in terms of explaining how to use it, it talks about the different comb attachments but doesn't explain if they are required or just 'help' the situation or really why to use one over the other aside from just referring to them as 'coarse' and 'fine', so there's some improvements to be made there. Now for the actual use. I'll preface this by saying I'm coming from a daily driver of a 2200 watt hair dryer and a hair straightener that can get 440' so they are both tall orders for this to hit. In starting from wet out of the shower hair to styled I cant say that I saved any true time, maybe because my original devices are so powerful, but I can say that if I were packing for a trip that I was limited on space but *needed* both a dryer and straightener this would be a huge space saver over taking my other two devices. The hair dryer portion doesn't seem to put out enough airflow, especially with the documentation saying to use it as a 'rough' dryer first before attaching combs and starting to use the straightener with the dryer on. It's difficult to get nearest to your head and it'll remain somewhat damp even when you've switched to the combs and finally just the straightener. The unit is very loud as well since the ports for the airflow are so small. I also wish the air blew out of both sides though I can see how it would be a design challenge as the 'fixed' side of the device is where the air is pushed from since the inlet is at the base of the unit near your hand. I don't "love" the attachments, it's just one more thing (3 more things, 2 of which are tiny) to keep track of and eventually lose. if they had come up with some what for them to retract into the tool (entirely possible I think, especially with the small combs) or attach to the cord or something so they are more easily managed than the little soft sided bag to lose in my pile of soft sided bags it might be something more useful. As purely a hair straightener it's fine, gets the job done without any bells and whistles, the handle isn't 'quite' rounded enough so it can squeeze the meat of your hand if you dont hold it just right, but maybe that's just me. Overall: I like the idea, but it's not quite there, it needs some additional fine-tuning and I think it could be a good device. In a pinch it works or if you have space constraints when traveling, but I prefer my individual devices over this.

_____ *Pros: -The cord is rotatable, making it easy to manage. -Comes with two defined brushes to help smooth the hair. - The safety mechanism sets in when the straightener is left idle after 5 seconds. - For damp and wet hair, both the fan and the head mode work together to try and straighten the hair. - The wide plates allow for more room for hair to be grabbed and shorten styling time -There is a button to lock the straightener for easier storage and keep the plates clean. _____ *Neutral: -It’s a bit heavy. -The lowest heat setting, for both damp and dry hair, doesn’t really straighten the hair. -The air from the fan blows on your face. -Somewhat noisy. _____ *Cons: === Design === The Shark SilkiPro is a traditionally styled hair straightener that comes in an attractive purple color. The buttons are placed in an ergonomic fashion, making it easy and simple for quick heat setting selection. The cord is rotatable, making cable management convenient and easy. It has a lock button for the plates, which is nice to have to keep the plates clean and more secure during storage. The plates are relatively wide, and they provide ample room to grab larger sections of hair, which cut down on styling time. The two specialized brushes do a good job smoothing out the hair, and the dual-action system allows both the fan and heat modes to work together when treating damp or wet hair. Safety is built right in with an automatic mechanism that engages if the straightener is left idle for about five seconds. My wife used the straightener several times this week and she says it feels a bit heavy after prolonged use during styling. When the fan is turned on, the airflow blows toward the face, and the operating noise is somewhat loud. === Performance === My wife has long and slightly wavy hair that goes down toward the base of her back, and she said the product has not significantly reduced her styling time, most likely because her hair isn’t very thick or voluminous to start with. She says the final result is definitely not salon quality; her hair is not as smooth or straight as it would be from a salon. She did not use the wide-tooth comb for wet hair because her hair is too fine, but she used both the precision comb and gentle comb, and they helped the straightening process in a positive way. She noticed that when she tried to straighten her hair while it was damp by using the dry mode, her hair felt drier a day later and was less smooth. In comparison, it achieved a better result when only the heat setting was used. The motion-sensing feature did not really function as intended, as she did not notice any airflow adjustments or automatic noise reduction. === Is it worth the coin? === In conclusion, this product did not do an impressive job with my wife’s fine and slightly wavy hair, nor did it create the salon results she was expecting. Thus, I rate it 3.5 out of 5. Ultimately, it is not worth the cost premium since other brand-name straighteners can deliver similar results for less coin.

My wife always enjoys having straight and smooth hair after showers, this her first one that she got that also support air blow dryer. the fact that ots support from wet to rapid dry its such an amazing device she’s currently enjoying on her day routine for the past few days. Shark Silkipro design is also very attractive to look at, we have the purple and white combo with some hind of gold and yellow a beautiful looking device. DEVICE & FEATURES: The Silkipro comes with two mode Wet and Dry and you also get 3 attachments these comb are the design specifically based on your current hair situation. but shes been sticking with the gentle comb since she have more of a straight natural hair This also have HeatSense Ceramic Plates which is another major feature, which they claimed that the integrated sensor monitors temperature 1000 times per second and it automatically adjust the heat in Wet mode. this air dryer also supports motion sensing control which automatically reduces airflow when the plates aren’t touching your hair, it also helps increases airflow when you actively styling. another feature is Dry mode, once your hair is already dry you can use the silkipro to refresh your style. EXPERIENCE: so far Silkipro has been very convient for my wife, you dont need multiple tools just to style and dry your hair. the comb attachment help prepare your hair the ability to switch from wet and dry was easy. i’ve definitely notice after she use this hair dryer her hair looks smooth, shiny and polished. the results looks amazing on her and she just loves the overall look that it gives her. but one thing she did mentioned was its kinda big for her, theres a learning curve when ut comes to using Silkipro so it did not feel natural to her right away, she said it takes a bit more time to figure out or the best technique to use which I think it’s understandable when it comes to new tech. CONCLUSION: Overall my wife is impressed with Shark Silkipro and thinks its one impressive tool to style your hair. the biggest pro is the convenience of being able to dry and straighten your hair with one device so its less clutter around the space. the 3 interchangeable combs is great that help and adapt depending on your hair situation. The Heatsense technology and lower temp wet mode are also reassuring youre trying to reduce your reliance on high heat. the only bad thing is that the Shark Silkipro is not particularly the smallest or simplest styling tool theres can be a learning curve, it was a bit heavy for my wife, but overall shes happy with it and would just need more time to be fully sync with her day to day routine
