After years of buying cheaper alternatives, one reviewer says this compact Shark dryer finally delivered the fast, frizz-free results they'd been looking for
Many people struggle to justify spending more than £100 on a hair dryer. But one reviewer says buying the Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer completely changed their mind, after years of trying less expensive models that never quite lived up to expectations.
The reviewer admitted they had always questioned whether a premium hair dryer could really be worth the money. After trying several budget-friendly alternatives over the years, they decided to give the Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer a chance.
They wrote: "I've always baulked at the idea of spending hundreds on an appliance, never mind a hairdryer. A hairdryer just dries hair, right? Turns out, I was very wrong.
"I've bought plenty of 'dupes' over the years, plus a few well-known budget brands. In fact, I've got three of them sitting in a cupboard right now. They all dried my hair well enough, but something was always missing. No matter what shampoo or conditioner I used, my hair just never sat quite right."
What impressed them most was the combination of speed and the finished result. Despite its compact size, they found the Shark SpeedStyle noticeably more powerful than previous dryers they had owned.
They continued: "This one is small and compact, but it absolutely packs a punch. My hair dried a full minute and a half faster than with my previous branded dryer (my hair is only collarbone length), and there was zero frizz. When you've got a busy life, every minute genuinely counts."
The reviewer concluded by saying: "I'm really pleased I finally splashed out. Ironically, the three dryers gathering dust in my cupboard probably cost me the same amount combined."
Designed for all hair types, the Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer uses high-velocity airflow to dry hair quickly while helping to avoid heat damage. Ionic technology is designed to reduce frizz compared with air drying, while the included Turbo Concentrator attachment helps create smoother, straighter styles.
The Amazon Choice Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer has proved popular with many shoppers, with more than 400 bought in the past month. It's currently available in a limited-time deal for £109.99, reduced from £139.99, saving 21%.
