The Shark Hair tools worth knowing about right now

Whether you're after a frizz-free blowout, sleek straight lengths or defined curls, Shark Beauty has been quietly building a lineup of air-styling tools that are worth a serious look. The Good Guys stocks three of their standouts - the FlexStyle, the Glam and the Glossi - and each one takes a slightly different approach to drying and styling at the same time. Here's what makes each one tick.

How Does An Air Styler Work?

Rather than making direct contact with your hair like conventional styling tools, air stylers use a directed flow of air to dry and style at the same time, without extreme heat.

Now, let’s explore the different Shark Hair Tools and how they can become your number one secret weapon for beautiful hair, every day!

Shark Glam Ceramic Air Styling & Drying System

The Shark Glam Ceramic Air Styling & Drying System is built around two ideas: protecting the scalp and delivering an exceptionally smooth finish. Its Scalp Shield feature - developed with stylists - monitors and adjusts temperatures in real time to reduce heat exposure at the roots, which is particularly useful for anyone focused on protecting new hair growth or a sensitive scalp during wet-to-dry styling.

The headline attachment is the Shark Silki Hot Tool + Air Straightener, which pairs heat-controlled ceramic plates with high-speed airflow. It works on both wet and dry hair, and delivers a noticeably silky, smooth finish - with up to 103% more shine compared to air drying alone.*

*Hair shine increased by up to 103% when using the straightener tool compared to air drying. Results vary based on different hair types.

Who it suits

Those who prioritise a sleek, smooth result and want a tool that actively looks after their scalp. Also a strong option if you're conscious about heat exposure during the drying stage

Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool & Air Glosser

The Shark Glossi 2 in 1 takes a more focused approach: it's designed to do one thing really well - deliver glossy, smooth results that last. Its ceramic plates and airflow work together in a single pass to smooth and style simultaneously, cutting down the time spent going over sections again and again.

The 24-Hour Gloss Lock Technology is its signature feature, helping hair stay glossy and polished throughout the day. In a consumer study, 73% of 30 users agreed their style lasted up to 24 hours after styling with the Glossi tool.** It also manages frizz well across a range of hair types - including curly, coily and colour-treated hair - which aren't always the easiest to keep smooth.

Who it suits

Anyone chasing that high-shine, salon-finish look for everyday wear. Especially well-suited to curly, coily and colour-treated hair that tends to frizz up or lose its style throughout the day.

Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System

The one that started the conversation. The Shark FlexStyle twists from a powerful hair dryer to a multi-styler in seconds - no fussing with cords or swapping between tools. It comes with five attachments that cover most styling scenarios: a paddle brush for sleek, straight lengths; two auto-wrap curling barrels for waves and curls in both directions; an oval brush for big, bouncy volume; and a diffuser for natural curl definition.

What makes it genuinely useful for everyday routines is the Coanda effect in the curling attachments - a technology that wraps and sets hair around the barrel using directed airflow rather than relying on heat alone. The result is curls and waves that hold their shape without the same level of direct heat contact as a traditional curling iron. It also has four heat settings and three airflow settings, so you can dial in exactly what your hair needs.

Who it suits

Anyone who wants the flexibility to switch up their look - straight one day, wavy the next - without collecting a drawer full of separate tools. Works across wavy, straight, curly and coily hair types.

What actually makes air styling different?

Traditional styling tools - straighteners, curling irons - work by pressing or wrapping hair directly against a hot surface. Air stylers take a different route, using a directed flow of air to dry and shape hair at the same time, with the heat applied more evenly and from more of a distance. That doesn't mean they're heatless, but it does mean the heat delivery is more controlled.

For most people, the real-world benefit is a quicker morning routine: one tool handles drying and styling in fewer steps, so you're not bouncing between a dryer and then a straightener or curling iron afterwards.

FlexStyle vs Glam vs Glossi - quick comparison

Best for versatility: Shark FlexStyle - multiple attachments, multiple style outcomes.

Best for silky-smooth lengths: Shark Glam - ceramic straightener attachment with Scalp Shield.

Best for all-day gloss: Shark Glossi - 24-Hour Gloss Lock, great for frizz-prone hair types.
