Makes getting ready so much easier
I recently picked up the Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer, and after a few weeks of use, I’m happy to share my thoughts. Here’s my review:Design & Build:The Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer has a sleek, modern design that feels both lightweight and sturdy. The ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold, and the size is perfect for both styling and drying without causing wrist strain. It’s a compact tool that doesn’t feel bulky or awkward to use, which is a huge plus when you’re styling your hair for a longer period.The styling attachments are easy to swap out, which makes it versatile for different hair types and looks. I also appreciate the fact that it doesn’t take up too much space—whether you’re storing it in a drawer or leaving it out on the counter, it’s not overly large compared to other hair tools.Performance & Drying Power:When it comes to drying, the Shark Freestyle does an excellent job. It has multiple heat and speed settings, which makes it adaptable to different hair types and styling needs. The airflow is powerful enough to dry my hair quickly without causing frizz, and it leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny, which is a nice surprise for a dryer in this price range.The ionized technology helps to reduce static and frizz, which is a major win for me, as I usually struggle with flyaways. I also find that my hair feels smooth and hydrated after drying, even without applying additional styling products.Styling Features:The Shark Freestyle truly shines when it comes to styling. The included attachments, like the round brush and the smoothing nozzle, give you the flexibility to create a range of looks. The round brush is fantastic for adding volume and creating soft curls or waves, while the smoothing nozzle helps to get sleek, straight hair without much effort.What I particularly love is the hot air brush function, which allows you to both dry and style simultaneously. This is a big time-saver since I don’t have to switch between a blow dryer and a separate styling tool. The airflow is powerful enough to set the style, yet gentle enough to avoid causing heat damage, which is a common concern with some dryers.Heat Settings & Versatility:The Shark Freestyle offers adjustable heat and speed settings, which gives you a lot of control over how you style your hair. Whether you want a quick dry or a more polished, styled look, there’s an option for every need. There’s also a cool shot button for locking in your style, which is a nice addition for a professional finish.Drawbacks:While I really like the overall performance, there are a couple of things I’d note. First, it might not be the best option for super thick or coarse hair if you’re looking for ultra-fast drying. It takes a bit longer to dry very thick hair compared to a high-powered blow dryer. Also, the attachments can feel a little flimsy after frequent use, though they still perform well.The cord is also not as long as I’d like. If you have a large bathroom or need to plug in further away from your mirror, you might find it slightly limiting.Final Thoughts:Overall, the Shark Freestyle Air Styler & Dryer is a great all-in-one styling tool that combines the power of a blow dryer with the versatility of a styling brush. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and provides great results, especially for creating voluminous hair or smooth styles. While it may not replace a traditional blow dryer for very thick hair, it’s perfect for those with medium to fine hair or anyone looking for a quick, versatile tool to simplify their hair routine. If you’re looking for an affordable, space-saving solution for both drying and styling, I’d highly recommend giving it a try!

Honest Review
I wanted to wait a few months before writing a review. I do not get paid for reviews I just want to help people who are researching getting one. I have very frizzy, curly, and thick hair I have struggled my whole life with I hated doing it, it would take me so long to blow dry and straighten so I started going to a hair dresser to do it for me because it just became too much. I saw people on tik tok using this I researched for a long time because I was too scared to spend the money and it not work but ended up finally getting it. Took me a few times to get it down I love how fast the blow dryer works and the heat adjustment the only thing is when using any attachments they get pretty hot so be careful grabbing them and setting them down on surfaces. I haven’t quite figured out the curling part but I mainly got it for straightening and blow drying. I love the straightening brush when I tell you it used to take me over an hour and a half to do my hair it was hell now it takes me 20-25 mins I don’t even blow dry my hair first I just section my hair and use the brush it works amazing I don’t even need to take a flat iron to my hair after. It gives a pretty blow out and volume to my hair. The blow dryer without attachments is light but with attachments it can be pretty heavy sometimes I have to switch hands. The size is great as well without attachments but with its long. I don’t think it’s loud like other people have said, to me it’s quieter than my normal blow dryer. Overall I would recommend this it has become my absolute favorite! Worth every penny. The pros out way the cons.

Great for the unskilled, or to cut styling time
Just got this today. Initial review-- Dries hair FAST, I have very fine hair but a LOT of it, and this dried my hair in maybe half the time of a regular dryer- I dried my hair on the next to lowest heat setting- it didn’t burn my head at all but was still very effective at drying- I used the curling rods (comes with 2, one for left side and one for right side of head) and was pretty pleased with how easy they were to figure outSee attached photos- for context, I used no products in my hair to combat frizz or add volume, etc. Had just washed my hair and was excited to test this out. Blow dried my hair until it was about 85% dry, and then grabbed a few sections to test the curling rods. I literally half-a**ed this and only curled a small number of sections in my hair, so just know that if you spend more than literally 6 minutes curling your hair with this, I think it’ll look ten times as good.This thing isn’t too heavy, and the attachments are very easy to switch out (they do have a locking mechanism so they don’t fall out while you’re using them). A lot of people have commented on the volume, but honestly- it doesn’t sound any louder to me than a typical blow dryer? The noise is slightly more high pitched than a normal dryer, so maybe that’s what people don’t like, but after 5 seconds of using it the sound literally became white noise to me. Honestly, I think it’s quieter than most hotel dryers.My one complaint isn’t really a complaint, I just didn’t read and realize that there’s a different curling wand for each side of the head. So you’ll basically curl one side of your head, then swap out the rod and curl the other side. I kind of wish it was just one rod to do the whole head, but with how they’re designed that wouldn’t work (unless you didn’t care about which way the curls face.) Each rod is clearly marked on the end with an L or an R so there’s no guesswork.As someone who loves to have nice hair but is infinitely lazy and unskilled with a curling iron or round brush, this seems like it was very well worth the purchase for me. If you’re already a pro at doing hair, you might not get as much use out of this set, but for me I’m very happy with the purchase.I chose this over the dyson because of the price point, but also because I’ve owned other products (vacuums lol) from each brand and I’ve found Shark products to be more reliable and dependable than Dyson stuff.Update: two weeks in and I’m loving this. Surprisingly, my favorite attachment is the round brush. It’s so easy to use that with the dryer to dry my hair and give it volume so my roots aren’t so flat. This thing also travels well- when you straighten out the dryer barrel, this was super easy for me to fit in my carry on bag and then I just threw the paddle brush attachment in my backpack. Easy peasy and I was able to use it to keep my hair looking full and lovely on a long weekend trip to the lake. Very happy with this purchase.Edit 2- 2 month update. I freaking love this thing. I actually don’t use the curling wands very often- I’ve been using both brush options to get volume and even curls in my hair. I’ve never been skilled (or patient) at doing my hair but this thing has been pretty much a game changer for me. Walked out of the house the other day looking like I had just gotten my hair professionally done, felt like a goddess.
