Unfortunately it just wasnât any better and actually it did not perform as well.This may work for someone with easy, straight hair but for curly girls, unfortunately this just isnât it!My daughter who has wavy hair also tried it and wasnât impressed either. She said it felt like it was pulling her hair out too. (Using round brush attachment)

I've had this blow dryer for about 6 months now. It dries my hair faster than my old (cheap) blow dryer, and doesn't seem to cause much heat damage when used on the low setting. I really like that you can adjust the heat and power, but I don't like the placement of the buttons as I often hit them unintentionally during use. If you're considering this hairdryer specifically because you want to use the blowout brush attachment, I would purchase a different product, because the blowout brush attachment isn't very functional. The smoothing attachment works well, but I don't use it often with my hair type. If I want to blow dry on the highest speed, I have to use concentrator attachment, or else my hair gets horribly tangled.

Yes, I bought this with my own money, and yes, I love it. I was able to dry my hair in about 15 minutes from a towel dry/rough dry with the quicksmooth brush. It looked pretty good already, but then I used the rapid gloss finish attachment, and that really helped with flyaways and gave a sleeker look.It's not quiet, but not too loud either. The rapid gloss finish attachment is supposed to be used on the high heat setting and you definitely feel the heat coming through on your scalp. I used Bumble & Bumble hairdresser's invisible oil heat protectant/primer before getting started, then finished with some Ouai leave in conditioner. Overall, I'm really happy with this dryer and think my blowouts will only get better as my skill improves.First photo is after drying ... MoreYes, I bought this with my own money, and yes, I love it.

I am not experienced with hair products so I did a lot of research before buying my first blow dryer (my hair used to be 4ft long so I never bothered to buy one). But now that my hair is shorter, I thought I might try styling my hair. I love that it doesnât get too hot because I have thin, fragile blonde hair. Iâm not sure if the ionic technology works as advertised because I did not find any studies about it, but it makes my hair look great! My goal is to achieve blowouts so Iâm waiting for the blowout attachment to arrive. But as a regular blow dryer I love that it has 3 air settings, 3 heat settings, a cold setting, and a cold button to use mid-styling. Super handy! And the attachments are great.

The Shark SpeedStyle is a good high-end hair dryer. Itâs lightweight, compact, and it dries a lot more effectively than our old hair dryer. It comes with a good set of initial accessories, though I wish this version included the diffuser.In the box you get the hair dryer and finisher, brush, and concentrator attachments. The hair dryer itself is very lightweight and compact; it packs away nicely. The cord attached is a bit bulky, but at least itâs got plenty of length (at least 10ft). All of the buttons are easy to press and the mechanism for attaching and detaching accessories is solid. Adding the accessories is super easy and they snap right in with a small twist. There is an âIQâ light that turns on to show that the dryer recognizes the attachment. It feels ... MoreThe Shark SpeedStyle is a good high-end hair dryer.

There is an âIQâ light that turns on to show that the dryer recognizes the attachment. It feels well built overall and though we havenât dropped ours yet, it feels like it could take a fall.The hair dryer we were using previously was a much cheaper Conair and the first thing I noticed after turning on the SpeedStyle was how much quieter it was. The sound is similar to what you might hear from a cordless vacuum cleaner. It dried my wife's hair completely in a third of the time the Conair and it dried it much evenly and completely. For her hair (wavy), the diffuser attachment would have been helpful to have and Iâm a little bummed this one doesnât include one, but it is available separately from Shark. The hot setting gets really HOT and âCool Shotâ button is easy to reach, though I wish theyâd have positioned the air flow buttons on the same spot as theyâre a little inconvenient to get to on the lower back portion of the dryer. It does take a little while to cool down after each use, on the accessories especially.Having only used lower-end hair dryers I canât really say how the SpeedStyle compares to other options in the price range, but weâre happy with it overall.
While it looks more like a traditional hairdryer, and not the air-compounding styles that have been popular in recent years⊠it packs-in modern technology to accurately control air temperatures to prevent damage, independent buttons for temperature and air speed, includes great styling accessories, and achieves the lightest offering in its category today. This last point seems to be the primary goal with this model.Lightweight: Many modern hairdryers are fairly heavy and Shark has created this one to come in at just 1.68 lbs, which in my measurements, includes the cord and plug. Nice.Use: As you'd expect, it works a lot like any hair dryer, but includes independent heat and speed settings, easily viewed at a glance via the LED lights on their buttons.

Nice.Use: As you'd expect, it works a lot like any hair dryer, but includes independent heat and speed settings, easily viewed at a glance via the LED lights on their buttons. It also offers a Cool Shot button on the front of the handle (like a trigger) which very effectively pauses the heat to allow you to cool your hair. Hair can't get clogged in this model either, as the rear inlet has a removable filter screen, ensuring the internals don't get damaged. All is well considered and easy to use.Compact: While the nozzle on this model is a bit longer than some other designs, the overall diameter of it and its handle is on the small side (~1.75â), making it easy to store this in a drawer. Youâll have to work around a somewhat bulky cable and plug, but itâs still compact, lays flat, and ready to pull out for anyone at a momentâs notice.Aesthetics: Hairdryers have gotten flashier in recent years, with some in deep purples or bright metallic pinks. This model strikes a more subtle, classy direction. While itâs mostly white, it has faceted details along the nozzle w/ chrome and rose gold tinted accents and buttons. It comes across as tasteful and slightly feminine.Accessories: This model comes with three accessories, with another three available for optional purchase. Each accessory clicks onto the front of the nozzle by inserting into a circular channel and a small rotation to lock it into place. The mechanism seems durable and should hold up. Shark advertises the RapidGloss Finisher as the primary attachment here, promising to help shine your hair as you pull it gently down under and arc of hot air and warm metal strips. It also includes a flat turbo concentrator and âquick smooth brushâ with is intended for brushing your hair straight while drying. Most of these features are intended to help straighten hair or control frizz. Theyâre well designed and appear to help in both drying and their intended roles, nicely combining a few steps and saving time.Overall, this is a great compact hair dryer. Itâs light and compact, and because of that, makes a good case for making all of the attachments manageable. It converts a simple (but modern, digital, heat-monitoring dryer) into a tool to quickly straighten and manage hair while drying. Anyone would appreciate an upgrade to a dryer like this.
This Shark SpeedStyle is lightweigt and easy to use and also works great. I am so excited that this works well with my coarse, curly hair. I get nervous with new hair items because of my type of hair. But I found that it worked with different types as we each used it with different hair types and it worked for us both.It is surprising how quickly this dries my hair and allows me to style it. This is my first styling hair dryer and Iâm glad I decided to try this. It is such a time saver being able to dry and style my hair at the same time. And it looks nice too. I plan to take it with me when we travel in a few weeks because itâs lightweight and wonât take up much space, even with the attachments. The plug is good length which allows more control on movement.This ... MoreThis Shark SpeedStyle is lightweigt and easy to use and also works great.

The attachments snap in quickly and easily and comes right off when you press the unlock button.I tried the 3 attahcments that came with it: rapidgloss, quicksmooth brush and turbo concentrator. There are additional attachments that can be purchased separately and I canât wait to receive the lift and stretch wide-tooth comb, I think that will complete my hair need.It comes with a full color styling guide which shows details on how each of the attachments works and some styling tips depending on what type of hair you have. The guide also includes a QR code that is suppose to lead to videos and more info about styling your type of hair but the codes didnât work for me. It got a 404 Error each time I tried the QR codes in guide. But it gave me the idea to search in Youtube, which lead me to Shark Beauty Youtube page, where there were lots of helpful videos.
The Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer is excellent!We own several Shark appliances and have a genuine appreciation of those great products with their impressive performance. It was therefore an easy decision to select the Shark SpeedStyle.The Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer (Model HD331) includes a sleek, compact, lightweight and powerful High Velocity Dryer unit and a set of three hairstyling accessories. The Dryer is shaped like the number â7â and has a cylindrical shaped body. The Dryer provides four temperature settings (No Heat, Low, Medium, High), plus âCool Shotâ (No Heat while button is depressed and held) and three airflow settings (Low, Medium, High). Each of those setting levels are annunciated by ... MoreThe Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer is excellent!We own several Shark appliances and have a genuine appreciation of those great products with their impressive performance. It was therefore an easy decision to select the Shark SpeedStyle.The Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer (Model HD331) includes a sleek, compact, lightweight and powerful High Velocity Dryer unit and a set of three hairstyling accessories. The Dryer is shaped like the number â7â and has a cylindrical shaped body. The Dryer provides four temperature settings (No Heat, Low, Medium, High), plus âCool Shotâ (No Heat while button is depressed and held) and three airflow settings (Low, Medium, High). Each of those setting levels are annunciated by small LED lamps above the icons on the Temperature Button and the Airflow Button. Directly below the Temperature and Airflow buttons is the slide type On/Off power switch. My wife and I both found it somewhat inconvenient for those control buttons to be located on the rear of the dryerâs handle, near the bottom. The controls cannot be manipulated during operation of the dryer using the same hand which is holding the dryer. Adjustment of the controls is a two-handed operation. The Cool Shot button however, is conveniently located on the front of the handle, where it is easily depressed by the same hand which holds the dryer. There is also an âIQâ Styler Attachment Indicator which illuminates when a styling attachment is latched onto the front nozzle of the dryer.Accessory attachments supplied with the RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer include a RapidGloss Finisher which uses Coanda Technology to attract hair to the Finisher to smooth hair. The Coanda Effect refers to an aerodynamic characteristic whereby a fast-moving jet of air âattachesâ to a surface. The high velocity airflow of the SpeedStyle effectively wraps hair around the RapidGloss Finisher and maintains tension on the hair to smooth away âfrizziesâ.Also included is a QuickSmooth Brush attachment with two bristle types to simultaneously dry, volumize and smooth hair.The final attachment in this package is a Turbo Concentrator, for directing and concentrating the powerful airflow of the Shark SpeedStyle for fast drying and styling.All attachments securely anchor in place using a small rotation which interlocks the plastic cam pins and latches with an audible click. Attachments are quickly and easily released by the sliding Lock button on the bottom side of the upper housing.When installed on the dryer, the Turbo Concentrator rotates freely, while the QuickSmooth Brush has a copper color button on the side to release an internal latch to allow rotation of the brush to the desired angle/position.Shark also offers optional attachments including a Defrizz Fast Diffuser, an Express Touchup Brush and a Lift & Stretch Wide-Tooth Comb, all of which are sold separately.The SpeedStyle is equipped with an exceptionally long, heavy-duty power cord, spanning 8â-5â. The cord is equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) for user safety (as required by law), and is apparently also protected by a fusible link. All of the connections on the power cord are equipped with robust strain relief. The maximum wattage of the FlexStyle is 1700 watts, which equates to a significant 14.2 amp electrical load.A very significant benefit of the Shark SpeedStyle is that it virtually eliminates the likelihood of damaging hair due to excessive heat, according to the manufacturer. The SpeedStyle is designed to precisely monitor and regulate temperature by measuring and adjusting temperature 1,000 times per second. The SpeedStyle accurately maintains temperature that is consistent, rather than widely fluctuating which can result in hair being exposed to excessively high temperatures and incurring damage. The. Temperature is never supposed to exceed 230° F and should never even approach the 302° F hair damaging temperature.I measured the SpeedStyle output at 6â from the nozzle. On the Low setting the temperature was approximately 140° F, on the Medium setting it was approximately 160°-165° F and on the High setting the temperature measured approximately 180°-185° F.The air velocity discharged by the SpeedStyle is very powerful. Of course, the unit produces noise when in operation, but even at the High speed airflow setting, the motor noise of the SpeedStyle was not uncomfortably loud, as some other hair-blowers typically are.My wife has used a great many hair styling tools and appliances throughout the years. She was very anxious to start using the Shark SpeedStyle to determine if it would actually improve upon her hair styling tasks, reduce the effort and burden, and produce superior results. My wife reviewed the printed Shark SpeedStyle Styling Guide which is included in the package, consulted the FAQs on the Shark website, and watched several Shark SpeedStyle videos on the Shark website prior to using the SpeedStyle for the first time.My wife really likes the Shark SpeedStyle. She loves how light weight and comfortable to hold it is. She was âblown awayâ by how powerful the airflow is on the high speed setting.She likes the SpeedStyle attachments and appreciates how easily and quickly they can be attached, adjusted or removed/changed. My wife is really enjoying the RapidGloss Finisher attachment which helps with reducing frizzy hair.The IQ feature of the SpeedStyle is very unique and helpful. Each SpeedStyle attachment has a unique profile molded into the collar section which attaches to the nozzle of the SpeedStyle Dryer. When the mechanical interlock connection is made, the SpeedStyle dryer ârecognizesâ which attachment has been installed, and automatically sets the Temperature setting and Airflow setting to a pre-programmed combination which is intended to be optimal for the use of that particular attachment. However, those predefined settings can be overridden by simply depressing one of the buttons to manually change Temperature or Airflow. When the SpeedStyle is operating with one of the IQ presets, the IQ lamp on the SpeedStyle is illuminated. If a change is made by the user to Temperature or Airflow, the IQ lamp is extinguished. The IQ feature worked properly most of the time, but we did find that on occasion after changing the attachment the SpeedStyle did not recognize the new attachment and stayed in manual mode with the IQ lamp off. Dismounting and remounting the attachment always corrected that problem, with the SpeedStyle using the IQ setting on the second attempt.Both of us were also very impressed with how much helpful guidance information Shark has made available for users. The printed, glossy âStyling Guideâ which is included in the box with the SpeedStyle has step-by-step, photo illustrated guidance for the use of each attachment and the benefits for using each of them for their particular best styling purpose. There is also a Safety, Warranty and Troubleshooting booklet included in the box. That booklet also contains complete operating instructions, maintenance and cleaning instructions and error codes.Each section of the Guide also includes a QR Code which leads to very helpful, professionally produced demonstration videos. Shark also has a webpage dedicated to their complete collection of Shark SpeedStyle videos, including a demonstration of how to clean and maintain the SpeedStyle.My wife really appreciated being able to see demonstrations of how to achieve the best results using the SpeedStyle. They made it much easier to actually get the desired hair style.The SpeedStyle appears to be well-built of high-quality plastic materials with a solid feel. The SpeedStyle is comfortable and easy to use given the unitâs compact dimensions and light weight. The SpeedStyle weighs only approximately 1.7 lbs, and measures approximately 6.5â long x slightly less than 8â tall. We thought that it was pretty amazing how powerful and effective the compact SpeedStyle is.The rear of the horizontal section of the SpeedStyle has a perforated screen cap, which covers an internal air filter. The filter cover is easily removable with a quick twist and exposes the internal filter for cleaning with a toothbrush or other soft brush. The internal filter is also removable and washable with a weak solution of water and liquid dish detergent. Shark even produced a video demonstrating the correct procedure for accessing and cleaning the filter, which is an important part of maintaining the SpeedStyle in proper operating condition.The SpeedStyle is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, however if Shark replaces the unit, a fee (disclosed in the printed warranty provisions included in the box) is assessed when the replacement or exchange unit is shipped.Overall, we both think that the Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High Velocity Dryer is really great. It is a powerful blow-dryer for styling and hair drying. It is compact and lightweight and easy to use without tiring. A big plus is eliminating the heat damage that is virtually impossible to avoid with many conventional blow-dryers.
So from my name I don't exactly have the lustrous locks that can really take advantage of this so I had to enlist the help of my wife to help with this review.So just physically, this looks quite a bit nicer than other products, but more than that there are some practical differences too. The cord is long, which is really nice and the cord is also a bit thicker and seems to resist tangling in a knot better than her other tools. All this leads to an easy to hold and use product. It is also quieter than any hair dryers we have owned in the past or present (besides this one). There is a light on the handle that lights up to notify that settings are correct or default and then turns red when they aren't default, the default settings are also the settings that she ... MoreSo from my name I don't exactly have the lustrous locks that can really take advantage of this so I had to enlist the help of my wife to help with this review.So just physically, this looks quite a bit nicer than other products, but more than that there are some practical differences too.

It is also quieter than any hair dryers we have owned in the past or present (besides this one). There is a light on the handle that lights up to notify that settings are correct or default and then turns red when they aren't default, the default settings are also the settings that she prefers for almost all her use cases, so it is really useful to just glance and know it is all good. The default settings automatically select the fan speed and temperature and are also done per accessory.The attachments are quick and easy to detach and attach, the brush was easy once the rotate button was found on the side. The hairbrush gave her hair volume and made it easy to style while tryingThe hair blower was nice, but she didn't really notice a benefit of this besides of course that it would be terrible if it wasn't included.The rapid gloss finisher was by far her favorite. There are stickers on the device itself with easy instructions and by using it she didn't have to straighten her hair with a flat iron as the rapid gloss finisher did an excellent job calming her frizz and flattening her hair. She absolutely loves that she can calm and straighten her hair now in 10 min compared to 30 min with a traditional straight iron.Her only thought, not even really a concern is that she didn't see how the standard setting had no heat damage at all as claimed as it set the heat pretty high. Now comparing it to a standard flat iron the potential damage can easily be seen to be considerably less so this was more of a comment than a concern.The only other con is that it didn't come with the defuzer, as she would really like to try that, we had to order it off of the shark website directly as the accessory isn't on best buy.So all in all, the only two concerns aren't really concerns, she loves everything about this and has already recommended it to a few friends.
