For frizz-prone hair

The hair dryer brush combines nylon and boar bristles to smooth and detangle strands before ceramic-coated plates smooth hair for a silky finish. But for a mirror-like shine in record time? It’s over to stylist Kelly Wasley: “Always use a heat protector before styling. Then work in sections, starting with the underneath layers. Avoid overloading the hair dryer brush to ensure smooth movement through your strands. For frizz-free locks, wrap your hair around the barrel and gently pull it down as you move through your lengths to smooth the cuticle."TOP TIP: Switch your Shark SmoothStyle from Wet to Dry Hair Mode for freshening up hair between washes, banishing bedhead and removing ponytail kinks.

For flat, straight hair

If you’re craving a bouncy boost, the Shark SmoothStyle White is a multi-tasking mane magician serving volume-boosting benefits too. “After heat protector, apply a golf ball-sized pump of volumising mousse to damp hair,” Kelly Wasley recommends. “Take small sections of hair from the top and wrap around the brush, lifting at the roots as you gently move the brush down to the ends. Finish by curling the hair under, or flipping the ends for added movement.”

For colour-treated hair

The best colourist on the planet can’t help your brunette tone stay brilliant or keep your balayage looking beautiful if your hair is fried. Kelly Wasley explains: “In damaged hair, the cuticle is wide open so colour washes out quickly – hello dull, flat tones! The cuticle stays closed in healthy hair and colour looks on point for longer.”That’s why Shark beauty created tools with built-in hair protection. For example, the ceramic-coated plates on the Shark SmoothStyle White distribute heat evenly, so you can dry and style your hair much faster, exposing it to less heat. And the 1700W Shark SpeedStyle Rapid Gloss Finisher and High-Velocity Hair Dryer dries at speed too, never exceeding 110°C to safeguard against heat damage.

For curly hair that’s difficult to manage

Got a complicated relationship with your curls? The Shark SpeedStyle Rapid Gloss Finisher and High-Velocity Hair Dryer includes a DefrizzFast Diffuser for glossy coils you’ll definitely fall for.Using a diffuser attachment with your hair dryer will dry curls evenly, enhancing their shape without frizz. Shark’s DefrizzFast Diffuser also has retractable and extendable prongs to suit all curl types and textures.For best results, Kelly Wasley recommends using a curl-enhancing product and a low heat setting. Then, tilting your head towards the diffuser while pressing it against the scalp, begin drying your wet hair in sections. "Keep the diffuser still until each section is dry, but avoid overdrying, or using it on completely dry hair,” Kelly says.
