Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seriously! I can't believe I didn't know about the Shark Glossi sooner. Easily the best practical gift I've ever gotten my wife. She's Latina with gorgeous, long, thick, curly hair that falls about 3 inches past her shoulders. Ole' Glossi has been a total game-changer for her morning routine, and honestly, it's saved me time too since I'm not waiting as long. The first day I gave it to her, she went from towel-dry hair to fully styled in maybe 20-30 minutes. No more switching between the blow dryer, then the comb, then the flat iron or crimper. It's got soft boar-hair bristles and stiff nylon bristles like a regular brush, so it feels familiar. It should be known that it picks up a bunch of hair in the brush (that's just how curly hair is), but her hair ends up soft, bouncy, and looking like she just walked out of a salon. She's getting the hang of it, and I can already see her speeding up; probably down to 15 minutes soon. There's even a QR code you can scan for extra tips and tricks, which is a nice touch. Build-wise, it's solid like most Shark stuff. Thick cable, GFCI plug for safety, and the cord swivels 360 degrees so it doesn't get all twisted up. Feels durable enough for daily bathroom use. What's my biggest complaint? The plug. Because it's designed to plug in vertically, if you want both outlets free, you're stuck using the bottom one. The cable is 6 feet long, and honestly, I wish it were 8. It's stiff, too, so if you're not standing right next to the mirror, you might feel limited. We've had a few times where it would've been way nicer to sit on the couch and style her hair in front of the TV instead. The controls are pretty simple and labeled beautifully: wet mode, dry mode, airflow and heat settings. You start with wet mode to blow dry, then flip to dry mode to smooth out the frizz and add shine. One side of the Glossi is like a blow dryer brush, the other works like a flat iron. Depending on how you use it, you can go for volume or keep things smooth and flat. The ceramic plates heat up evenly, so there's no weird hot spots that could damage your hair. The airflow is strong but not crazy loud, even on the highest setting. You can blast it with hot air or use the cool setting to lock everything in place. And it stays warm to the touch—never gets burning hot, which is great. The design itself is pretty smart. You can switch between drying/detangling and straightening just by turning your wrist. No more battling with frizz or those stubborn curls right at the roots. Her hair has this healthy bounce and shine now that she never uses the flat iron. It's faster, safer, and just works better overall. She does a couple quick touch-ups during the week and she's set, which has cut down her getting-ready time by a lot. Overall, this was probably the most useful thing I've bought her, and she actually uses it all the time. If you or someone you know has long hair and hates the whole multi-step styling thing, this is definitely worth it. I'm telling you, it should be at the top of everyone's Christmas or birthday list this year. Buy this and you're basically buying yourself extra time while she handles her hair routine way faster.

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!

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.

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.

Unpacking - See first 3 Images - impressed by packaging and nice start guide Presentation/packaging: Well packaged/ sturdy box with premium presentation. Great color of the hair tool. Box Includes pictures and helpful tips as well as a QR code with a start guide and related how to videos. Handling: Styling tool is lightweight and feels balanced while using. Perfect size styling tip with grip to hold while in use. Provides seamless use without any heat reaching your fingertips. Drying: The wet mode used for drying was quick and easy to use. 3 different air flow & heat options. To dry quickly, the high heat & air flow made it a breeze and created volume with minimal effort. Once my hair was mostly dry, I switched to low air/ heat to style. After using this hair tool (with no product of any kind) , it left my hair feeling smooth, provided great volume with a nice wave and left no frizz. My hair is typically frizzy in nature, especially after blow drying, but the Shark has created soft, smooth,sleek hair. Compared to similar products I have used in the past, where it leaves my hair dry and frizzy, the Shark is above the rest. It leaves your hair soft and shiny and the bristles do not pull at your hair Dry mode: The Dry mode is an incredibly useful feature that surprised me on how well it worked. It has an option to use with the air flow or without. This is a fantastic feature that most hot air tools do not have. Even in dry mode, it left my hair soft with no frizz. Overall, this is an incredible 2 in 1 tool that will immediately replace my current hair styler and significantly cut down my styling time

Where have you been all my life??? I have tried other tools and then gone back to all the separate items thinking all in one might not be the answer. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this one, much like another popular all in one, is an even better option. So my hair is 4' past shoulder length, color treated with some grey naturally wiry texture. Humidity is the enemy and you haven't see frizz like this. This seems to be a great answer to my hair challenges. The Shark Glossi has good directions, hints and tips so don't just jump in and think you know how to use it, spend a few minutes reading through the easily accessible directions through the QR code. The tips and tricks videos you can link to a are great on sectioning hair into smaller portions gets the best results. There are two modes, start wet or start dry. It works great as a hair dryer for thick hair. After a few tries it took me about 20-25 minutes and I'm sure I can take 5-10 minutes off that with some more experience. It doesn't seem to be any louder than a comparable hair dryer, after all it uses a fan and has to move air to work. You can manually control the heat setting and air flow speed from the handle. The power chord is heavy duty and has a built in GFCI which I appreciate because I will be using it in the bathroom near water. The other great thing is the swivel connection on the handle, no more tangled messy chords. The results were fantastic.. I mean, shiny, bouncy and no frizz is now easier than ever. This is by far the best tool for salon results for a DIY'er. Highly recommend this styling tool..

Hair styling can be a bit of a battlefield. So many gadgets promise “miracle results,” but most end up being clunky, time-consuming, or just plain disappointing. That’s why I was genuinely surprised when I tried the Shark Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool - it’s not just another dryer, it’s a full-on styling companion that makes salon-quality blowouts feel doable at home. First Impressions The first thing I noticed was how thoughtfully it’s designed. The buttons are placed exactly where you’d want them, so you’re not constantly hitting the wrong setting mid-style. It feels intuitive, like someone actually thought about how people use these tools in real life. Tech That Actually Helps The ceramic technology is the real star here. Instead of blasting your hair unevenly like a lot of dryers do, it spreads heat smoothly, which means less damage and more shine. My first couple of tries weren’t perfect — there’s a bit of a learning curve — but once you get the hang of it, the payoff is huge: volume, bounce, and gloss that usually only happens in a salon chair. Volume Without the Crunch If you’re chasing that elusive “effortless volume,” this tool nails it. The **Air Glosser** feature gives hair lift and movement without frying it or leaving it stiff. My hair looked fuller but still soft, which is a rare combo. Everyday Convenience Little details make a big difference. The extra-long cord? A lifesaver. No more awkward stretching or dragging the dryer across the counter. And because it dries and styles at the same time, my morning routine is noticeably faster. The adjustable settings also mean it works for different hair types, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation. Salon Results, Minus the Salon What I love most is how accessible it feels. You don’t need to be a pro to get good results. It’s sturdy, sleek, and looks great sitting on the counter, but more importantly, it delivers. It’s not just a dryer — it’s a styling tool that makes professional-level blowouts something you can actually achieve at home. Final Take After putting it through its paces, I can say this: the Shark Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool is worth the investment. Yes, it takes a little practice, but once you get comfortable, the results are impressive. Fast, glossy, bouncy hair without the damage — it’s a standout in a crowded market.

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.

I have very thick and frizzy hair and blowdrying and styling my hair is not something I look forward to. I did some research and went with this product and its AMAZING! It not only shortens my blowdry time but makes my hair silky and smooth. I would have given it 5 stars but I noticed that my hair had a few breakaways.

I love my new hair tool , works every single time and I dont have to use a straightener anymore!

Very nice product. It made my hair shiny and smooth

I rated fair due to we returned it already. Product is bulkly and heavy. Seems like it would be great for someone with longer hair as well and dont mind the weight of the item

The Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool and Hair Glosser is perfect for the beginner all the way on up to the pro level user. Quality and Size: This is clearly a higher quality hair tool than you would find at the average big box store or an online purchase with a lower price tag. It’s definitely on the large size at 13 inches in total length, but its sturdy feel gives confidence that the components and craftsmanship make it built to last awhile. Its design is basically that of an oversized round barrel brush, which makes it both easy to hold and to operate without losing your grip. Ease of Use: I am not someone who uses hair tools with any sort of regularity. I know how to straighten my hair with a blow dryer and flat iron, but not in a way that remotely looks like I just got out of a professional stylist’s chair. And I have hair that likes to frizz up when confronted with the slightest bit of moisture. So it is thrilling to use a device that makes it so easy to achieve salon-level results. It couldn’t be simpler to use. It only has two buttons and one adjustment switch. The buttons modulate the dryer’s air flow and temperature. The switch is to allow you to toggle between wet and dry modes. If your hair is still damp, choose wet mode first, which essentially turns it into a combination blow dryer slash hairbrush with the air blowing from holes between the bristles. Don’t forget to detangle with your regular brush or comb before you begin. For best results, flip your head upside down and just move the device in a downwards motion over your hair until it’s less than damp but not entirely dry. You may adjust both air flow and temperature for this setting. Now you’re ready for dry mode, which takes less than a minute to get heated up from scratch. Then you need to decide which style you want, whether you want to go bigger with a “voluminous and bouncy” style or if you’d prefer the more polished look the package refers to as “smooth and sleek”. To achieve volume, you section the hair, just as you normally would with any other hair styling device. Then position the brush’s bristles under the section as close to the scalp as possible, then rotate as you slowly move the brush in an up and away motion. The ceramic plates that are located on one side of a small portion of the brush are used to defrizz. You begin on the brush side then run the strands through the plates to sleek your hair when finishing up each section. If jet straight hair is your personal preference, then the ceramic plates are key. Run each hair section through those bad boys and you’ll be all set. The concern, of course, is that you’ll catch parts of your hair in either the bristles or the ceramic plates. Rest assured that this frustrating snag never occurred at all. It was an entirely painless experience. On top of that, it never got too hot and there were none of the accidental hand, scalp, or ear burns that a novice or even experienced style pro might endure. A very safe product to use overall because no part of your skin ever really has the opportunity to accidentally come in contact with the heating element. Plus, it’s easy to just put it down even immediately after use on virtually any surface without worry that you’ll burn a hole in something. End Result: Again, this information is coming from someone who does not regularly use drying, straightening, or curling devices. But the results achieved were impressive. It looked professionally styled with zero frizz. Days later it remains ready for an evening out with minimal touch-up effort. The only styling issue I struggled with was really creating a lot of volume, but that is probably more user error than anything else. Or it’s likely that practice makes perfect. The directions are easy to follow and I certainly had more volume than just a purely straight style would accomplish. It’s also possible that I just have hair that is a little too thin to create much volume in the first place. Critical Look: A critical eye towards the product would probably bring up the fact that it’s more substantial in size than just a flat iron. But everyone who styles their hair with a heating tool is also accustomed to the bulkiness of a hair dryer. So the transition to a product that accomplishes both drying and straightening is a relatively easy one. Plus, it weighs about the same as any ceramic plate flat iron, so there’s no issue there. The only other aspect that needs to be addressed that might be an issue for some is that a single pass isn’t going to work for all hair types. I can only go off my own hair, which is unruly and frizzy and curly and often all of those things at once. My hair required multiple passes. Slowing down seemed to be more effective, but it still required more than two passes. Maybe there’s a learning curve or maybe more than one pass is standard. Or maybe it just depends on the hair type. And it will also be different depending on hair length and density obviously. Summary: Ultimately, I give this product 5 stars for simplicity of design, ease of use, and exceptional results. The fact that even someone with minimal experience with these kinds of hair tools would be able to accomplish what the product is made for is a triumph of design. I never felt that my hair was harmed in any way or that it would be damaged from long-term use. I appreciated that the style lasted through sleep and showers (covered, of course) and everything else requiring minimal touching up. I would most definitely recommend this product and will likely use it on a regular basis because of how easy it is to use and because the results are so impressive.

According to the hair experts in my house, after a week of using the Shark - Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool, Hair Dryer, they have concluded that this is “the definitive hair companion” for the celebrations ahead. This is not common feedback for a product used by the two Latino women living in my house, both with super curly hair that needs to be absolutely flat for all family gatherings. Because of it, need to be highlighted. A few elements reinforce this strong opinion: 1. Weight: This is probably the lightest device of its kind that we have at home. This is important because transforming very curly hair into “ready for partying hair” can require some time of continuous and intense arm movement. Efficiency is a must. 2. Heat Delivery: The heat is delivered through the holes of the device without overheating the device itself. This makes the process safer, and the user does not burn their hands during use, which often happens with other similar devices in my home. It’s also important to mention that the name, in my view, is a bit misleading for the purchaser. The tool uses heat applied to the hair but does not become hot during use, making it safer for the user. 3. Versatility: There is a great combination of options to adapt to the task or user preferences. The tool can operate on three airflow levels and three heat levels (nine options) to meet all requirements. 4. Simplicity: The operations are simple, and the instructions in the box are very clear. Shark’s experience in mass electronics and home appliances is evident. Opening the box and being ready for direct use took only minutes. There are no apps or complex processes required, which benefit the user. 5. Limited Noise: As a ceramic tool that brings hot air to the hair, some noise is expected. However, the volume during operation is not at all comparable to a regular dryer. It’s about half as loud. 6. Multi-Functionality: It’s a true multi-tool that can handle both requirements. After only 20 minutes, my daughter’s super curly hair was smooth and flat. In just 10 minutes, my wife’s flat hair gained volume with minimal effort. 7. Usability: It can be used on both dry and wet hair, which expands its possibilities. With all these considerations, and because of its efficiency and the recognition from the two users, I see this as a great option for hair enthusiasts. Additionally, for a product that I expect will be used often in our house, the two-year guarantee and Shark’s experience as a manufacturer are great additions. I strongly recommend being ready for the holidays.

I received this product in exchange for a review. Ok so I had to enlist my wife for this review. The Shark Glossi system really impressed her and got me some points! The tool is well designed, the Juniper color looks great and the whole setup feels solid and well-built. The attachments click in firmly, and nothing feels cheap or loose. Drying is faster than a regular dryer it never overheated my hair drying it too much an causing any damage. Even on high settings it stayed comfortable to use. The Air Glosser attachment smoothed my hair out and added a glossy finish without needing a flat iron afterward. My wife's hair came out soft, shiny, and bouncy instead of dry or frizzy. For my hand It’s easy to handle, my wife found the handle a little bigger in diameter than she liked. The cool shot is a good option. Switching attachments is simple. Cleanup is quick since the filters pop out and the ceramic surfaces wipe clean. The Shark Glossi is a great choice if you want fast drying and a polished blowout without frying your hair. It makes a great stocking stuffer (hint for husbands and friends) It’s easy to use and delivers results that look a lot more “Pro” than I expected and my wife's hair looks great! If you want it even tighter or adjusted for a Best Buy/Amazon customer review, I can do that too. heat. Even on higher airflow settings it stayed comfortable to use. The Air Glosser attachment is the standout. It smooths everything out and adds a glossy finish without needing a flat iron afterward. My hair came out soft, shiny, and bouncy instead of dry or frizzy. It’s easy to handle, well-balanced, and not overly loud. The cool shot works instantly, and switching attachments is simple. Cleanup is quick since the filters pop out and the ceramic surfaces wipe clean. Overall, the Shark Glossi is a great choice if you want fast drying and a polished blowout without frying your hair. It’s easy to use and delivers results that look a lot more “salon” than I expected

As my hair is not the type for needing styled, I convinced my wife to help me out with the review. She has very fine hair that dries quickly as that may be important for your own results and preferences on how to use this. For the 24-hour claim, my wife does not go for 24 hours however, I have noticed and she thinks she has noticed that it does last all day compared to other styling devices she has, and her hair keeps the same style much better than before. The directions are on the box, there is a QR code and printed directly on the box for the wet and dry settings. After she found the directions on the box, which she was annoyed with because they were on the box which she threw away without looking at and I had to grab again, (I have never seen her keep a set of instructions for any gadget ever so I’m not sure of the logic there but take it as you will) she tried wet and dry mode on different days. She immediately loved wet mode which gave her noticeably more volume while removing all the frizz (and in my opinion in much less time than usual) I have seen her hair as full as this got it and without frizz, but not in as quick of a time as she was able to do with this and not where it lasted easily all day even with some pretty good humidity. She tried the dry mode as well, mostly as I asked her to, she said it definitely gave her hair more shine but with her fine hair it didn’t work nearly as good as the wet mode which leaves her hair looking more full and naturally wavy. I think this is where your hair type will determine which setting is your favorite. On the day that she shampooed her hair she was able to quickly (around 20 minutes) get her hair smooth, heathy feeling and styled without needing a flat iron. Overall, this enabled my wife to style her hair quickly and easily while getting a better job done than her old tools. She absolutely loves this, and it is perfect for what it does. I also love that she is able to get ready noticeably faster.

I have extremely curly natural hair. It is nearly impossible to get straight, or even slightly wavy for that matter. I thought I would give this a try to see if it could tame even the craziest of manes. Out of the box this seems like a very well made product. It is a little bit larger than I was expecting it to be. But its nod heavy or cumbersome to use in any way. After a day or two of using it, you will develop your own personal technique on what works best for you. In the box there is a card that shows you some instructions and things on how to use it properly. If you scan the code on there it 2will also take you online to show you a bunch of tutorial videos as well to make sure you know just how to use it. You can use this on either wet or dry hair. If you are looking to just dry your hair, this works great by drying your hair as you brush through it. Works much better than a traditional blower that just blows your hair all over the place. It allows you to have a lot more control over what you are doing. Not to mention using it in just drying mode dries your hair very quickly! You can also use it on dry or slightly damp hair to help straighten it. You use the same method to kind of brush it through your hair. You’ll want to put a little tension on your hair to pull it straight. I found that it worked very well at taming really curly hair. I also had my friend try it who has pretty wavy hair, and it made her hair almost completely straight. I think she will be buying one of these as well! Overall, it’s a great product with a great design and I would highly recommend it!

(this was tested by my daughter with long red hair that can curl up at times) I cannot overstate how much I love this styling tool, which I admittedly had never heard before of but now am happy to recommend to anyone who is looking for a quick way to style their hair out of the shower. I was at first a bit skeptical, as I've always struggled to dry my hair well with any appliance on my own but the Shark goes out of its way to make the process easy and painless. The cool air blower keeps the heating element from creating steam against your scalp, which had been the issue with my previous brush-tools and the process was incredibly quick, even with my thick and naturally wavy hair. I'm currently watching some tutorial and tip videos to improve my results, as getting a truly straight blow out requires a little bit of practice, but even straight out of the box the process was straightforward enough to really impress me. The only suggestion I would give the manufacturers is that the heat and cooling controls are positioned on the handle in a manner that you can accidentally turn off the heat/blow dryer, but that's an easy adjust on the user's end. The packaging itself was reasonable, without too much in the way of excess plastic or ties to remove, but the outer packaging had been badly damaged during delivery (although not in a way that affected the actual product or its packaging) which was slightly concerning. On the whole, I recommend the shark for anyone who is looking for an easy to use, versatile styling tool.

This multitool has been doing a pretty good job on my wife's hair since she started using it. It seems a bit large to hold, but in reality, the long handle was just the right length and is easy for my wife to hold. It's also not heavy - so she can twist and navigate the wand without any issues. There are different settings for heat, and the lower end was just fine for straightening my wife's hair, which is a hair type of 1b-2B. She's used the tool on both damp and semi-dry hair and the results were fantastic for both. What I noticed, especially compared to her basic drying method, is that the tool really brought out the body and volume in her hair. She's actually more impressed by how well it straightens - and even noticed her hair came out less frizzy than when she dries her hair naturally. I should also note that she has not used the tool while having any styling product in her hair. The wand simply takes her natural state and brings her hair to life. Some other observations: * The tool was most effective when using it on small "batches" of hair, otherwise it wasn't as effective. * Perhaps it's a question of practice, but she had to be more mindful that all of the hair she was working on was actually "in the plates". * The end cord rotates. This helps prevent it from getting tangled. All in all, this is a very good device that does a great job not just straightening hair, but also providing waves and volume - and it's not as unwieldy as it looks. My wife's hair looks great after she uses it!

To begin, this was something I obtained for my wife (who has a somewhat complicated hair routine). She was a little wary, but gave it a shot. She is also not very "techie," so it was important for the device to be intuitive. Ultimately, she was able to pick it up, plug it in, and use it without any problems. As advertised, it does indeed make the hair glossy and reduces frizz (which is a problem for my wife; any humidity in the air and her hair starts to do its own thing). She said it is very easy and intuitive to use. Select wet or dry hair and turn it on. It not only heats with a ceramic heater (which prevents burning the hair, apparently), but it blow dries the hair as well. There are three different settings for both the heating element as well as the hair dryer. The unit is lightweight and easy to hold, lift, and manipulate. I am not sure how much it matters, but this is the first hair dryer I have seen that incorporates an air filter. (It is easy to access and easy to clean.) The unit also has a little knob on the end that makes it easy to use two hands for styling your hair. While I am not sure how this compares to other similar units, my wife says she likes it and has begun using this in lieu of her curling iron (which can burn the scalp). She really had nothing negative to say about it, so 5 stars from my perspective!
