Shark expanded its hair instrument lineup and it seems like we could have extra dupes on our arms

The factor about Shark is that they seem to be a vacuum firm that is aware of the way to make a superb magnificence dupe.

Between the FlexStyle hair styler (aka the Dyson Airwrap in a barely totally different font) and the HyperAIR (a Dyson Supersonic-esque hair dryer), the model has come out robust in providing high-end hair tech at a extra reasonably priced worth.

Which is why with the discharge of two new magnificence instruments on Aug.15 — the Shark SmoothStyle and the Shark SpeedStyle — our first query is can they Kirkland may these be new dupes? We took a more in-depth look to seek out out.

What precisely is the Shark SmoothStyle?

We’ll lower to the chase — the SmoothStyle seems like a leveled-up Revlon One-Step. Mainly, it is a spherical scorching air brush with some additional options, however it does retail for $99.99. In comparison with the One-Step’s $59.99 MSRP, this won’t look like a powerful promoting level for the SmoothStyle, however Shark does have an edge.

To start with, the One-Step will fry your hair with out regret. It will get scorching, and that is why it is particularly vital to apply it to largely dry hair to complete off your styling (which is truthfully the case with most scorching air stylers). Mainly, it isn’t the all-in-one dryer and styler all of us thought it was when it first got here out.

The Shark SmoothStyle, nonetheless, has particular “Moist Hair” and “Dry Hair” modes, for properly, styling moist and dry hair. In different phrases, Shark appears to be attempting to really make the product all of us thought the One-Step was.

Here is the way it works: While you begin with dry hair, the SmoothStyle has three preset air temperatures to take your hair from moist to dry. As soon as it is dry, the recent air’s second is over, and also you’d use the SmoothStyle such as you would a thermal brush, with the one preset heated smoothing comb setting. The comb has ceramic-coated plates, that are aimed toward lowering warmth harm (on flat irons, ceramic is probably the most pleasant to broken hair).

Mainly, it is like scorching air brushes, which might vary from Revlon’s $59.99 brush to Drybar’s $155 brush, and the Amika Blowout Babe Thermal Brush (which retails for $100 and is sort of all the time bought out) had a child. Whereas it might not be any brush’s one-to-one dupe, it does give multi-functionality for simply $99.99.

The Shark SpeedStyle may be the brand new reigning Supersonic dupe

Primarily based on the seems alone, the Shark SpeedStyle seems prefer it may be going for a BioIonic 10X UltraLight Pace dupe this time round. Plus, each have “velocity” within the title. Beginning at $179.99, the SpeedStyle already has a dupe-worthy worth to the BioIonic’s $299, however there’s extra to the image.

After all Shark’s going to deliver the warmth with the attachments.
Credit score: Shark

Sure, we’re speaking attachments. That is Shark, the very best Dyson dupe artisan on the market, in spite of everything — in fact there are attachments. For that aforementioned $179.99, you may choose your selection of two between the six distinct attachments Shark affords, which embrace the Categorical TouchUp brush, the DefrizzFast Diffuser, the Turbo Concentrator, the QuickSmooth brush, the Elevate & Stretch Vast Tooth Comb, and the RapidGloss Finisher.

For $199.99, you may choose to purchase the SpeedStyle for curly & coily hair or the SpeedStyle for straight & wavy hair — each include three attachments greatest suited to these hair sorts.

As a reminder, the Dyson Supersonic retails for $429.99 and comes with 5 attachments. In comparison with the Shark HyperAIR (certainly one of our present prime dupes for the Supersonic), the SmoothStyle’s attachments look extra like direct analogues to the Supersonic’s. As an illustration, the RapidGloss finisher seems an terrible lot like, and guarantees a efficiency much like, the Dyson flyway attachment.

The SmoothStyle additionally retains the heat-adjusting IQ of the HyperAIR, has 1700 watts of energy to the HyperAIR’s 1680 watts, in addition to 5 whole warmth settings and three airflow settings to the HyperAIR’s 4 warmth and 4 airflow settings. And it is $25 cheaper than the HyperAIR.

Along with Dyson, Shark appears to have duped itself.
