Shark’s SpeedStyle Hair Dryer uses airflow to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to dry hair as opposed to using heat to do the job. This helps keep hair safe from the damage caused by traditional hair dryers. A built-in temperature sensor constantly reads how hot the air is, checking 1,000 times per second, and automatically reduces heat when the air reaches a preset maximum temperature to prevent excessive heat from damaging hair.

Head over to Amazon to get the Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer for just $159, down from its usual price of $230. That’s a $71 discount and 31% off.

A lightweight hair dryer that uses airflow instead of high heat

Traditional dryers rely almost entirely on heat to evaporate moisture from hair. In doing so, they create long-term damage by consistently applying extremely high temperatures to force rapid evaporation, and that accumulated damage leaves hair dry and brittle after months of daily use. By blowing air at higher velocity, the dryer removes moisture quickly at lower temperatures, reducing drying time and damage to the hair.

The temperature sensor monitors conditions 1,000 times per second, and the dryer constantly adjusts to keep the air below the level at which damage occurs. You don’t have to adjust any settings or monitor gauges, since it adjusts continuously whether you select the lowest or highest speed.

Hair dryers are among the heavier items you may find yourself holding daily. Because of this, weight becomes important when choosing one. At about a pound, the SpeedStyle is considerably lighter than many salon dryers it competes with, and your shoulders will notice the difference after several minutes of holding it above your head during a blowout.

Unlike other dryers, SpeedStyle attachments connect magnetically rather than twisting into a collar. Switching between a concentrator and a styling brush should take less than 10 seconds, even with wet hands and no countertop space to set anything down. Anyone who has struggled with an attachment that twists into a collar while still operating the dryer will appreciate this design immediately. The package contains a styling concentrator, a curl-enhancing diffuser, and a paddle brush.

With speed, three heat settings, and three airflow settings, the dryer offers 12 possible combinations to suit both thick and thinner hair. A cool shot button also locks a style in place once you have achieved the results you want. All functions are easy to access without reading a manual. The controls are located directly on the handle, right where your thumb is while you work. This product includes an accessory storage bag that keeps the concentrator and diffuser together, so you don’t lose them in a bathroom cabinet or set of drawers. It now takes seconds to locate and grab the attachment you want, instead of searching multiple drawers for each one.
