At Women Love Tech, we love a Dyson dupe. Like the Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High-Velocity Dryer. Which claims to offer a more affordable version of the Airwrap. And promised to take my mane from wet to dry in mere minutes. But, does it actually work on hair that’s not blonde and baby fine? I put it to the test on my thick and unruly mane and this is what I found out…
Fast and furious: From went to dry … in a flash!
One of the standout features of the Shark SpeedStyle is its remarkable speed. True to its name, this hair dryer transformed my towel-dried wet locks into a dry, styled masterpiece in just over 240 seconds. A lifesaver on mornings when I had to factor in other equally important things such as workouts and breakfast. (Or, okay, just sleeping in a little longer and scrolling through Instagram).
Versatility. It’s a vibe
Speed aside, what sets the Shark SpeedStyle apart from its competitors is its versatility. Equipped with five distinct attachments, this tool caters to every styling need and hair type imaginable. Yes. Even misbehaved manes such as my own. These include, the Express Touchup Brush. Which works wonders for creating layers with bounce. The RapidGloss Finisher – to effectively combat flyaways and reduces frizz. The DefrizzFast Diffuser – for defining natural curls, with extendable prongs, on wavy, curly and coily hair And, the QuickSmooth Brush and Turbo Concentrator. An excellent option for those seeking volume or a sleek finish. So, whether you’re aiming for a sleek straight look, voluminous curls, or defined natural waves, the SpeedStyle has got you covered.
Intuitive adjustments
A final impressive feature of the Shark SpeedStyle is its intelligent heat and airflow settings. With multiple settings and attachments, the device intuitively adjusts to deliver optimal results without any guesswork. This ensures that regardless of your hair type or texture, you can achieve a flawless, glossy finish without the risk of heat damage. The proof is in the 26 Instagram videos I managed to squeeze in this morning. While still leaving home with smooth, slick hair!
