Professional capabilities in a home hair dryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Professional Performance High-Velocity Hair Dryer System provides professional capabilities in a home hair dryer/styler. Shark recommends that you dry your hair 80% by using the dryer with or without the diffuser. Then fully dry your hair using the attachment that works best for your hair type—a concentrator for straight styles; a smoothing brush for volume; a frizz fighter tool for finishing straight or straightened hair. Some users will find they still need to use a straightening or curling iron after drying their hair. This hair dryer is quiet. All you hear is the air flow; there is no loud or high-pitched motor noise. The dryer is compact and folds for storage and has a heavy duty power cord with a velcro keeper. With all of the attachments and the high price point, you might expect the package to include a storage case. Sadly, a case is not included. Shark offers the optional Shark Beauty Storage bag for an extra cost. I tried the Shark SpeedStyle Pro FLEX on thick, shoulder-length hair. It dried the hair quickly. The turbo concentrator tool was easy to use, much like those on other hair dryers. The frizz fighter took a little more practice and the hair looked great, until hair was exposed to high humidity and the frizz was back in a few minutes (I live in the humid South). With the Shark hair dryer system, like with other hair dryers, I recommend using a styling product to protect hair before you dry it, and hairspray or another finishing product on the dried hair. While this hair dryer's name says "Pro," and offers professional drying and styling features, it is labeled for home use only. Pros: - Powerful - Compact and foldable - Fast - Relatively quiet - Heavy duty power cord with keeper strap - Attachments for most every hair type - Adjustable heat and air flow settings - Scalp protection setting - Comb attachments (available at extra cost) Cons: - High price point - Many attachments - No storage case (available at extra cost)

Compact, Effective, Easy to use Hair Dryer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kira Elyse Earnest 5 stars! I love this hair dryer so much– It’s lightweight, compact, and is very easy to use. All of the components were labeled and showed exactly how to use them and each part had its own QR code with a how-to tutorial. Whether your hair is curly, long, straight, wavy, or short, there is a way for you to style your hair in an easy, comfortable and quick way. As someone who has short straight hair, it was a little difficult for me to use the diffuser, however, if you are someone with longer hair, who likes it wavy, I’m certain you will have more luck than me. Aside from the attachments, there are many other ways to adjust the dryer. There is a fan button on a scale of 1-3 and a heat button ranging 0-3. All of the different settings are adaptive and depending which attachment you use, the dryer will adjust itself. Not to mention the scalp shield button is VERY handy! I HIGHLY recommend you try this out because it is super quick, efficient, and fully customizable for every person's needs!

Good, fast, but not cheap
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex is a fast, sturdy hair dryer with a sleek look and relatively small size. The handle swivels so that it more easily fits in a drawer or suitcase. The heavy-duty cord would likely reduce the chance of it kinking and wire damage, which offers an added safety benefit, although the heavy cord does add to the overall weight of the dryer. The cord does include a loop for hanging the hair dryer on a hook. The model I reviewed comes with four attachments—a Frizzfighter Finishing Tool, Quicksmooth Brush (half brush), Defrizzfast Diffuser, and a Turbo Concentrator. All easily and securely attached to the dryer and easily removed by clicking a button. Depending on hair type, you may find some attachments more useful than others. I have fine hair just below shoulder length. Both the concentrator and the half-brush attachment pivot, making them more ergonomic. The finishing tool does not pivot and seems a little more difficult to use, and its rubber edge tends to grab my hair. The defuser has extendable prongs for use with thick hair. Although very sturdy, the diffuser feels heavy to me (6.9 oz.). The manual includes photos and descriptions for additional attachments that users may purchase separately, including a full brush, which would be useful for my hair type. The box and product labels include QR codes to videos showing how to use the attachments and maintain the hair dryer, including instructions on how to clean the filter. The ability to disassemble the filter and clean it is a new feature for me. Regular maintenance should help reduce the risk of overheating and extend the life of the dryer. The Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex includes three settings for air flow and three settings for temperature. The lowest speed seems quieter than a typical hair dryer, while providing a strong enough airflow to dry my hair quickly. The highest speed setting is loud and has a high-pitched whine, which terrifies my pets. To me, the highest temperature setting is too hot, even though the dryer has a Scalp Shield Mode. In short, the Shark SpeedStyle PRO Flex is a durable, relatively small, visually appealing, fast-drying hair dryer. But, as with almost any product, it comes with a few cons, which, for me, include the weight of the dryer (in spite of its size), excessive heat, and cost.
