I got you girl! Some things are just unbearable for us🤯

I’ve had my Shark for about a year now and it has replaced every tool in my arsenal! The sound doesn’t bother me (you have to be ok with that, but I don’t mind at all) and the smell goes away after a use or two. It’s only because it’s new. I like the boar bristles because it allows me to get great resistance for a really smooth look when I’m blowing it out. I’ve heard some people say their Dyson won’t hold a curl as well as the Shark, but I’ve never tried the Dyson. Just offering my totally unsolicited two cents, but mine has been game changing for me and I’m a picky missy! 😂

I am big fan of the shark period and not the Dyson, as it does not hold the curls well for 700$ 😉

I’m so glad you showed us the sound comparison! That is wild how loud the shark is. I’m pretty sensitive to sounds so that would drive me CRAZY.

I thank you so much for this video! I suffer of arthritis too (but also migraine and sensory issues). You help me for my final decision. Thanks dear! ❤️

I am so glad you posted this review. I was actually thinking of buying near Christmas for myself and will not go near it now.

Thank you for sharing your experience with this tool! I purchased it and absolutely love it! As far as how loud it is …it didn’t bother me at all . But I’m not super sensitive about loud noises I guess. I also read reviews saying this is great for longer hair . Oh and mine wasn’t wobbly at all either . The smell does eventually go away but definitely not a pleasant smell !!

hey! I have long hair and I love this air wrap love that the bottoms are at the bottom and the size of it which makes my longer hair easier to catch with it, yes it is laud bot it smooths my hair very well and I'm getting tons of complements on my hair since I started to use it

Thank you Mallory for this honest review - I am amazed at how loud the Shark is, wow! That would bother me very much, so I appreciate all the details you took the time to review for us 😊💕

I almost bought the shark flex because of the price and my husband was like “what? I thought you like the airwrap”. I was like, ai think they will perform the same and the price is different. Good thing he gifted the airwrap to me just a few weeks ago. Whew! I could have regreted it. Thank you for this validation 😅❤ i love the comparison and I appreciate it!

Best review!

Find a decent secondhand Dyson Airwrap, or a cheap new original version if you can find one (the upgrade isn’t significant) would be my recommendation to those wanting a product like this but are struggling with the price. I bought mine when I couldn’t go to the salon during the pandemic, and it genuinely was a great investment. My hair is naturally blonde plus highlighted (so can get super dry!), and it’s in the best condition now, and I don’t need to get my ends cut as often.

In your unboxing video I was kinda thinking I didn’t love your hair on you in the beginning then you touched up with the curling iron. Made me know I needed to watch this before I buy

I'm glad to hear that your Shark is also making that creepy high noise! That's actually the only thing that makes me reconsider my purchase 🙈

I finally bought the dyson airwrap and was so sad to see the shark flex! I had so much guilt for spending that much money, but after this- I regret nothing!! 😅 thank you❤️

Hi, can you tell me if it is practical in terms of drying with long hair like you? Does it dry well enough? THANKS !

Exactly how I felt about the two. I got them both to try and ended up keeping the Dyson because of the looks & feels, and overall performance is far superior than Shark too. My hair is so voluminous and bouncy with the Dyson, whereas the Shark left my hair feeling dry and flat. There are reasons why the Dyson costs more. But I got the Dyson during promotion for around $450 plus 20% cashback through Rakuten, and then 2% cashback and points on my credit card, it's honestly not that much more expensive than the Shark.

Thanks for giving us this review…you are the first KZreadr who has given an honest review between the two. I

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!

Hi, I've watched countless video reviews of this product and they all basically focus on the styling performance compared to the Dyson. I don't have hair where styling it could change my life since I'm of medium height, fine and overall I have little. But precisely for this reason I am looking for a different evaluation which is Dyson's strong point... Is the hair protected on par or is Dyson ahead in this aspect? Thanks 😘

Thanks for this honest review- I wanted to use my Ulta points on the Dyson but held off when they got the shark flex style. The shark reviews I saw user a voice-over. Now I know why!!! I don’t need to be waking the whole house up with that turbine nose!!! I am sold- Dyson it is!!!

I’ve got awful hair, it’s been difficult all my life. I got the Dyson from qvc, thinking I’ll try it and probably send it back. Oh no, it’s staying, I actually like my hair for the first time ever.

Is the shark max temp in celcius? Because that would be 397 F which makes more sense.

Merci Mallory pour le partage, bon dimanche🌺🌺🌺

So glad it was helpful girl!!! Yeah, the Dyson will last forever and won’t damage your hair as much as any of the competitors imho. So totally worth the investment

The decibel on the shark is way to high if your experiencing ear pain or even ringing . Not to mention the tool is right next to the ear. It doesnt take much to start damaging your hearing. In the military i was trained on hearing and protection bc it was so crucial. I am almost 100% sure thst the Shark is above safe decibel levels which means you will start damaging your hearing egich will xause hearing loss. I would yeild extreme caution using that dryer if you want to save your hearing especially as you age. I have excellent hearing bc i dont listen to loud music, i use ear plugs if around loud machines or events. You can damage your hearing at lebels you would not expect to. Do some research and i think you will find that thst noise from the drier is too loud .

you honestly give me katherine heigl vibes. you are so pretty

Ugh! I just purchased the Shark but I haven’t taken it out of the box. I’m thinking I should just return and exchange it for the Dyson, or decide if I just want a high quality hair dryer. I’m not thrilled with the noise factor or the high heat. I also have chronic severe pain and simply the act of styling my hair is physically draining. Is your rooster any nicer? I felt so bad for you!

I bought a refurbed original air wrap (where you have to change barrels to change direction) in the blue & copper for $400. Worth every penny. Half the reason I bought it was to have everything in a case I could have on my shelf instead of a messy basket with a tangle of cords. I use my Redken play safe heat protectant cream and it will make a blow out last for 4-5 days. If I’m feeling lazy I will just turn the machine upside down instead of changing the barrel. 😁

I have the FlexStyle and literally keep earplugs at my vanity bc it's so loud!

After reading reviews and watching a lot of video reviews (like yours) I finally bought the Dyson AirStraight. The price was a huge deterrent, but it offers something that no other product does. I could never blowdry my hair without being a frizzy mess, and then I'd have to followup with a flat iron which is damaging to my fragile hair. The AirStrait does everything at once, with low heat air and doesn't pull at my hair.

I love my flex style but have never had a Dyson so I have nothing to compare it to. I’m sure this review will help a lot of people though.

I own Dyson like one year but what I noticed my hair condition is very bad my hair broke dry frizzy mess I’m not using anymore back to regular hairdryer

Very thorough review! While I love my airwrap and all my Dyson hair tools I can appreciate how folks would be interested in the Shark due to the price and the claims. However, part of what we get with Dyson is the technology and Shark doesn’t have that, they just try to copy the Dyson. I know it’s crazy expensive but every dupe isn’t really worth the cost. Yes the Dyson is crazy expensive and most people will say it’s not worth it because of the cost and haven’t even tried it. I had shoulder length (until yesterday) natural curly, color-treated hair that I wear straight and now my hair is about your length and I will say using the Dyson has saved my hair. I’m not giving up highlighting or straightening my hair so I have to use high quality products to maintain the health of my hair, and Dyson products exceed my expectations. There are so many things you pointed out that still make the Dyson the best choice for ease of use and health of hair…the noise, the quality of the component, the brushes, etc.

I bought the Airwrap this year and the deciding factor was the sound, the small details are important. Because i have very long hair, i even bought the new bigger round brush and that made my styling a bit faster.

This product is wild, OMG. 😅😅😅

I have the shark and I have a 13 month old and she hates when I turn the shark on 😂 I just bought the dyson I’m excited for it

I forgot to ask u said clean it I have the hair brown out brush from Walmart forgot the name eveyone got it and it’s dirty and I can’t get it clean two uses and it got woolies it got fuzz it got got hair I just don’t no how to get it out of thoes little black short bore ones it’s not possible I’m beyond confused and now I’m worried about these two brushes now and if I wanted the Dyson I would have to wait 2 years to get it for Christmas and get 0 not a gift this year so I picked this one I hope it’s fine for me

If the Dyson airstraight married with the straighten to get at the root of the scalp that would be fantastic

I don't really see how the Shark is any louder than using a normal hair dryer...? If that. If everyone wants to spend an extra $300 based on air sound, go for it. 😀

Greater air flow will shorten the drying time, but increase frizz, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for this review, I feel like it's the only unbiased one! I was so close to buying it 😮‍💨😮‍💨But the sound, the smell, the quality, its a no for me

I feel like if the buttons were on the top, it would be awkward when using the elbow bent

I keep thinking when u bend it it can break after a while the Dyson u don’t bend it’s just normal u no so I’m worried about that and I’m 28 now so I don’t get bunch gifts I buy my self one from mt daughter she’s 5 it’s a foot spa and I took my bf’s money moms money nans and dads to get the shark for Christmas so I’m praying it don’t break and it works good and eveything bc I literally have nothing else for Christmas hahah

You should use heat protection, in this video review you are complaining how hot is it, but you should be using heat protection in any hot tool especially if you have hair like yours. I don’t want to be mean at all. Just wondering why have not use it. My hair is very fine hair and I always use heat protection all the time. Also I bought shark for $250 set from Costco including all the attachments, even the new smoothing attachment, defuser and travel bag as well. We needed traveling hair dryer ( styling tool) with diffuser. My twins (15 years old) have very strong virgin curly hair, corse hair so for us shark is the tool we needed, and the price right now is unbeatable.

I always use heat protectant. Usually, “bumble and bumble hair dressers invisible oil primer”. It’s one of my absolute favorite heat protectants. The shark, though supposedly heating to a lower temp than the Dyson, does feel much hotter (even on the lower setting) than the Dyson- and is much louder. $250 is a deal, especially if the cons of the product are outweighed by the pros of your context.

Holy crap that's loud. That made me jump 😂

Ur paying double for a case if u get the Dyson bc it’s double the price of shark only diff is u get a case and the Dyson is better to handle bc the cool shot or something and not as heavy u can get a shark case and ur still cheaper then the dyson or even cheaper if u get random ones from Amazon they have a lot but I love the shark I got one for Christmas I’m dying to get it in few days and I have pains in my hands to I’m worried about that as well tho now u mentioned it
