The Shark SpeedStyle Essential High-Velocity Dryer is an effective and safe solution for removing excess moisture from your hair, providing fast-drying with low-heat operation. It is a highly portable dryer that lets you go from wet to styled for straight or wavy hair, and it offers sensor-based heat monitoring to keep the temperature within a safe zone. The unit is lightweight, making it easy to position your arm to reach all areas of your head and style without fatigue. In addition, it uses both ionic technology and a turbo concentrator to manage excessive flyaways to achieve a smooth finish.
Dry your hair in minutes and skip the salon
The thermal management systems in the SpeedStyle use sensors to continuously monitor temperature and automatically regulate the dryer’s airflow to keep it below 230 degrees F, which is typically the point at which significant heat damage occurs. The dryer offers four heat settings and three airflow speeds, allowing you to match your drying needs to your specific styling requirements, whether you need gentle warm airflow for minor touch-ups or higher airflow for thicker, longer sections. Additionally, the dryer has a cool shot button to deliver a burst of cold air to set the style after finishing each section of hair.
As you work through each section of your hair, the ionizer in this dryer helps minimize frizz and static, creating a smoother appearance. The negative ions in the airflow generated by the dryer counteract the static electricity commonly associated with standard blow dryers, creating conditions conducive to achieving soft, straight styles or loose, wavy styles that appear more deliberate.
Because this dryer uses high airflow with regulated heat, your hair will appear softer and have a healthier shine after you complete your style. The included Turbo Concentrator delivers its value when the user seeks more precise, polished styling rather than a quick, rough dry. To achieve this, you attach the Turbo Concentrator to the front of the dryer to constrict airflow, then aim the dryer down the length of the hair shaft with a brush to smooth each section from root to tip. If the dryer detects compatible IQ SpeedStyler accessories, it can automatically adjust the temperature and airflow to accommodate them, eliminating the guesswork involved in swapping tools.
For $150, down from its typical retail price of $200, the Shark SpeedStyle Essential High-Velocity Dryer offers fast, targeted drying, thoughtful operational controls, and frizz-fighting functionality in a single, compact unit that’s easy to store.
