Outstanding hair product

(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.

Works Exactly as Advertised

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!

Quality hair care tool

The Shark Glossi is a quality, professional level piece of gear for great hair. The fact that it is made by Shark promises it is top notch quality.
The design is simple to use and well thought out. It is essentially an all-in-one design that allows you to use it for different types of results. You can easily go from drying & straightening to adding curls or waves.
One of the selling points is its ability to style without frizz. This works very well, but hair type will play into these results. It can easily be used for travel as well. No need to bring along a hair dryer and a curling iron. This one device is all you need.
At first it may look kind of big when you take it out of the box. It is definitely a bit larger than you would expect from the photos. But it is by no means hard to handle or to pack away for travel.
As for controls, it is pretty easy to use. You have easy to understand switches for wet or dry mode, temperature and airflow control. On the top there is a hold styler tip to use the bristles for holding your hair during styling. Everything is easy to understand and you will be able to use it within minutes of taking it out of the box.
If you need an all-in-one styling tool you can’t beat this Shark!

This little device does a lot. Working better than other devices used in my house. Does a really good job at hair straightning while also reducing hair dry time. Leaving the hair soft and shiny.
I let both my wife and daughte use this device and they both loved it. They both have tons of hair devices and both raved on this one. Easy to use, and reduces the items they have out on the counter.
This one they stated dries and straightens at the sime time. Reducing their time.
They both have longer hair just below their shoulders. So drying was a big big plus. It works great. I did take notice on the noise level but didn't know it was drying. It is significantly less loud as a blow dryer.
The control knob on the top of the unit was suspect. but it really quite genius. They can adjust the unit with hair in while not having to fumble around with their grip on the palm. Great idea!
Also as per the naming, GLOSSI - the unit does provide a bit of shine to their hair during use.
What a great little device - Highly recommend in this household!

Quality Hair Dryer Better for Longer Hair

My interest in the Shark Glossi was to obtain voluminous, bouncy hair. The idea of having to only use the hair dryer and not the two-handed process of dryer in one hand and brush in the other was also appealing.
The Shark Glossi has some great features in that you can use it with wet hair or dry. There are three levels of air flow and you have the ability to adjust the temperature. It even has a temperature protective thermostat to shut off the unit if overheating. The filter slides off for easy cleaning which is a bonus. For users with long, thick and curly hair this product probably will be great; it's just not right for me.
I have straight medium length and medium thickness hair. Still, I was hoping for some increase in volume and bounce using the product. Instructions are to flip hair upside down and use the bristles to brush downward and then section the hair and position the bristles as close to the roots as possible and rotate the styler up and away. With a layered cut, the sectioning took time and effort, needing me to hold the styler tip for more control. I found it a bit hard to use with the bristle head being heavier than expected and the bristles hard and inflexible. Price is reasonable for a good hair dryer of this quality, so if you have the right hair type this maybe for you.

Salon Finish At Home!

The Shark Glossi 2 In 1 Hot Tool, Hair Dryer, Air Glosser is a combination dryer, straightener, volumizer, shaper and glosser. The elliptical shaped wand has brush bristles on one side and ceramic plates on the other. There is a setting for wet hair and another for dry hair. It is recommended that the wet setting be used for damp hair not completely wet hair. There are instructions for stretching out and smoothing wavy, curly and bushy hair as well as instructions for adding volume to straight hair. The heated ceramic plates do not seem as hot and as likely to hurt the scalp as a curling iron, perhaps it's the spacing not the heat level. The wand does a fine job of drying and straightening the bushy hair sections and making those parts look like the smooth parts. It also adds a glossy finish that blow dryers and curling wands do not. The glossy finish looks like something only gotten only in a salon in the past with the simplicity of a power brush. This replaces a couple of tools and requires no additional products to work. This hair care tool is a great addition to any routine and for me replaces a couple of other steps/tools.

Fantastic piece of equipment - my wife approves!!!

This product has been commandeered by my wife - for the sake of a happy marriage, this review is being written with feedback directly from her.
She has beyond shoulder-length hair and it's for the most part straight. She usually has to use a gun-style hair dryer, otherwise it takes her a good portion of the day for it to dry on it's own. With this device, she is able to brush/comb/dry at the same time. Her only complaint is that it's somewhat long for the length of her arms and gets a bit heavy to manipulate and handle towards the end of a usage session.
It does a fantastic job though of drying hair rapidly while brushing , vastly cutting down on her amount of time "primping" in the mornings before leaving for work or before an evening out on the town.
The finish is attractive as is the color. We've grown especially fond of the Shark brand name over the years for the durability and quality of their products - this one is no exception and we're exceptionally happy to have it in our household's beauty arsenal!

A truly smart device

The Shark Glossi Ceramic Hot Tool, Hair Dryer, & Air Glosser is truly a smart device. As the name suggests it's 3 devices in one. But it's what it doesn't do that sets it apart. It doesn't fry your hair and it doesn't cause frizz! The smart part is that it monitors temperature 1000 times per second. It has a setting for wet hair for drying and adding volume. It's not just hype. It works as advertised. And it dries my hair faster than anything I've used in the past. It also has a setting for restyling dry hair. I can't speak for those with thick hair, but the Shark Glossi works great for fine, thin hair.
For those that experienced frizz, try a lower temperature setting. Being impatient, I went straight for the highest heat settings and got some frizz. Then I reduced the heat and no worries now.
I've been impressed with the build quality of the Glossi. But, then again all the Shark products I've owned have been well-made. I highly recommend the Shark Glossi. It is three great tools in one device that work amazingly well.

Easy to use and makes my hair shine.

I enjoy using the product and I am happy with the results. Although I have only used the dry hair/smoothing option so far, I have found it to be very easy to use and is ready to use quickly. It warms up fast taking only a few minutes to get up to temp.
The directions are clear and easy to understand so it was a short learning curve.
The product is quite loud, but that is to be expected. I got used to it quickly and now don’t really notice it much.
One thing to be aware of is the size. The product is quite large, as in it has a large barrel diameter. So it may not work as well on shorter hair as it does on longer hair.
I am impressed with the results using it on my dry hair. It smooths my coarse hair, and it adds a nice shine which was what attracted me to it.
It is a well-made hair tool and fits nice in the hand but is a bit bigger if you need to pack it for a trip.
So, in summary, I plan on using it as a regular part of my styling routine and will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Great tool

I actually ordered this by accident. Turns out, it was a happy accident! This works great. Ever since having my son, my hair has become more wavey. No matter what I do with it, if it air dries it looks like its unbrushed. I often do not have time to blow dry my hair since I have a ton of it and it takes forever. This seems to have solved both problems. Right out of the shower, it only took 10 mins to dry and style my hair using this tool. The brush gave my hair great volume! It also straightened my hair while it dried it. I got several complements on my hair the first time I used the styler. This had 2 settings, one for wet hair and one for dry hair. The wet hair setting turns the fan on high and dried the hair. The dry hair setting heats up the ceramic plates. When you use that side of the styler it helps smooth and straighten the hair even more. This side reduces the flyaways too. The color of this styler is stunning as well. The blue is one of my favorite colors. I never thought id think an appliance was beautiful!
