    I recently purchased the Shark HyperAir hair blower with AI for my wife, and I'm here to share my thoughts on it. First of all, let me start by saying that I was really impressed with the packaging of the Shark HyperAir. It came in a very sturdy box that was well-protected. When I opened the box, I was immediately struck by the sleek design of the hair dryer. It's very modern and stylish, and it looks great on my wife's vanity. The Shark HyperAir is also very lightweight and easy to hold. This is important for my wife, because she has small hands. She says that it's much easier to hold than her old hair dryer, and she doesn't get as tired after using it. The Shark HyperAir has a number of great features, including: * HyperAIR IQ Technology: This technology combines high-velocity heated air and ionized air for ultra-fast drying, with no heat damage. * 3 heat settings and 3 airflow settings: This gives you a lot of flexibility to customize your drying experience. * Auto presets: The Shark HyperAir has 3 auto presets for different hair types: straight, wavy, and curly. * IQ Styling Attachments: The Shark HyperAir comes with 2 IQ Styling attachments: a concentrator and a styling brush. The concentrator is great for straightening hair, and the styling brush is great for creating volume and waves. I've been using the Shark HyperAir for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with it. It dries my wife's hair quickly and easily, and it leaves her hair looking sleek and healthy. She also says that it's much easier to style her hair with the Shark HyperAir than it was with her old hair dryer. Overall, I highly recommend the Shark HyperAir hair blower with AI. It's a great product that's perfect for anyone who wants a powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-use hair dryer. Here are some pros and cons of the Shark HyperAir hair blower with AI: **Pros:** * Lightweight and easy to hold * HyperAIR IQ Technology for ultra-fast drying, with no heat damage * 3 heat settings and 3 airflow settings * Auto presets for different hair types * IQ Styling Attachments for straightening, volumizing, and creating waves **Cons:** * Can be a bit noisy on the highest settings * Some users have reported that the attachments can be difficult to remove * Pricey Overall, I think the Shark HyperAir hair blower with AI is a great product. It's powerful, lightweight, and easy to use. It also has a number of great features that make it perfect for anyone who wants a salon-quality blowout at home. If you're looking for a new hair dryer, I highly recommend the Shark HyperAir.

    I am coming directly from a $35 common hair dryer that was solid. When my kid broke it, I was super bummed, but I knew it was an opportunity. And soon, I overwhelmed by all the options available. I decided I invest a lot of time and money into my hair so I would not be running out and buying another store shelf dryer. I also could not justify the $450 Dyson although I would LOVE to have one. In my research, I stumbled upon the Shark HyperAIR. It's fairly new so finding reviews that weren't sponsored was a little difficult. I ordered online and picked it up the next morning. I showered. I waited 5 minutes. Then I started my stop watch. I have medium-long hair but it's not super thick, and I was 80% dry in 2 minutes. I spent the next 4 using the styling brush attachment. At 6min and 30sec, I was completely dried AND styled for the day which is very impressive. I didn't have to use a straightner to get that sleek look. This little dryer packs a strong punch. My hair looks and feels healthy and fabulous. Products used are hair oil and leave in conditioner. The negatives: It's roughly the same weight as my old hair dryer so it wins no points for being light weight. The other issue is how HOT the barrel gets, especially when attachments are on. I will have to use the cool shot VERY often to keep this tool in check. You can change the heat and fan settings but even on low heat, it's HOT. The heat and fan will automatically adjust for the attachment but you can also change it. The cool shot will be vital to continued use. I am not sure how the box can clearly boast "No Heat Damage!" when the air is that hot. All that in mind, I would do 5 stars because of the time saved and ease of use. It's a great tool and I'm glad I pulled the trigger on the Shark HyperAIR

    It dries my hair in about 8-10 minutes. I can do a blowout in a total of 20 mins, and it looks soooo good! This item is worth every penny, and IMO, I think it works better than Dyson :) I will note that it’s loud so if that bothers you, you won’t like it at all.

    I LOVE this thing. I’ve had it for a couple of months now. I’ve tried so many blow dryers in the past. I have 4a/4b type hair and it’s thick. I love the brush attachment. It gets my hair really straight with minimal heat. It’s not very loud and doesn’t make the room all hot. I love that you can adjust the direction of the attachment to make it more comfortable for however I am holding the dryer at what ever part of my head. The price is high but we’ll worth it. The packaging was done really well. It came with a little brush to clean the dust out and a manual to better understand the device and how to use it and the attachments based on hair type.

    Best hair dryer I've tried yet. Gets hair super smooth and dries much faster than other professional dryers. Very ergonomic and easier to use because of the design compared to regular dryers. I'm no hair expert but this gave me consistent results from day one. Never going back!

    I have been impressed with Shark products, so when I got the opportunity to test this hairdryer, I jumped at it, even though I haven’t blow dried my hair since the spring. In cooler months I like to blow dry my hair, and we aren’t there yet in my neck of the woods, but dang, my hair is nice since I started using this Shark dryer. Whenever I walk by a mirror I have to do a double take because my hair actually looks nice for a change. This Shark HyperAir blow dryer is very similar to my Dyson Supersonic, so I’m in an interesting position to compare the two. Form-wise, the Shark is almost the same size and shape as the Dyson. I like the case material of the Shark better, it feels better in my hand. Also my Dyson is about four years old, and the exterior feels sort of sticky, which shouldn’t be happening, but I haven’t really used it in a while, so who knows. My hair is type 1A, straight as a stick, and coarse, Japanese hair, and it’s medium length and density, which is to the middle of my back. My objective when drying my hair is to have sleek hair, it can get sort of frizzy if I don't dry it. I have been using a microfiber hair wrap shortly after I get out of the shower to help sop up the wetness from washing, and after about a half hour of wearing that, my hair is ready for blow drying. It’s still plenty wet, just not dripping wet. This Shark hair dryer has three levels of fan speed and three levels of heat, which are easily adjustable on the back of the unit. I have been using the dryer without attachments at first to get my hair about 80% dry. After that I use the included styling brush attachment, and use that like you would a blow styling brush. To finish off the look I use the 2 in 1 concentrator, to get certain parts of my hair going in the right direction. All said and done, my hair is dry and styled in about five minutes, which is way better than with a regular hair dryer, but about the same as the Dyson. There is a curly hair attachment that didn’t come with my unit, which is called a curl-defining diffuser, and another attachment called an IQ Air Wave, which I didn’t get either but looks pretty neat by making waves. I’m not sure if my hair would hold the waves anyway. One thing I noticed with the attachments, they aren’t super hot after using the dryer, I can take them off without almost burning my hand, which is nice. This dryer also has a cool shot button, which I love. I use that at the end to cool off my hair and head from all of the heat. The cord length is plenty long for this dryer, and the plug is easy to plug into the wall socket and to remove it, unlike the Dyson. Also included was a small brush with hook, I’m not 100% sure how to use it, but I think it would get the hair that’s caught in the brush attachment and get the dust off of the back of the dryer, it’s a nice touch. The hair dryer is an average weight for its size, I wouldn’t say it feels heavy or light, but just right. For the MSRP of about $230, I think this is a really nice and upgraded hair dryer. It would make a great gift also!

    The Shark® Hyper Air with IQ 2-in-1 Concentrator and IQ Styling Brush has been very good so far for me. Just like so many, I go get my hair cut, colored, and styled every 6 weeks or so and we like our do then, but cannot then recreate it on our own. Well, this dryer with multiple attachments can help you do the do with less heat and wear and tear on your hair. So, this product contains 2 of the 4 available attachments, that I know about, the air concentrator and the styling brush. It is recommended to first towel dry your hair and then use the air concentrator with it in that allows more airflow to start drying your hair and then you move the adjustment that makes it come out and which then targets airflow to a more specific area. I then attach the styling brush which can be used either vertically or horizontally, really like that. There are 2 other attachments, the air diffuser and the waver that are available for separate purchase. This hair dryer, based on which attachment is clicked onto the body, and make sure that you hear it "click" on because only when that is done the IQ letters on the back of the dryer will then light up to let the user know that the attachment is properly attached and operational. Each of the attachments has predetermined setting for the the airflow and temperature settings for the best results. However, one can also manually change this preset setting if they feel that some other settings would be better for them. The unit is lightweight and easily handled by small hands. Additionally, if you use the scan bar, either on the manuals or the cardboard insert, that will get you to Shark's You Tube Videos explaining the contents, as well as, how to's on how to style one's hair. while using this machine. I did watch the videos and in fact, they had a man with short hair show both men and women with similar lengths on how to their hair, too. In my case, I am a 62 year old and styling my hair is not my greatest strength. I prefer to have smooth hair with height at the roots and curved under at the ends, oftentimes using either curlers or those round brush "perfecter" style heated utensils to achieve those results. I do not have very curly hair so the purchasing the diffuser and putting it into the diffuser for drying does not thrill me, but i might look into buying one of those air hair wavers going forward, we will see. Bottom line, I have only used this machine a few times since receiving it because I do not wash my hair more than 2 or 3 times per week. However, I do like my "smooth" hair with slight curl at the end-it looks good and feels good. Additionally, I feel that the pricing is much better than the one made by the D company.

    I have 3b/3c curly hair snd was looking for a better hair dryer than my $20 one I’ve been using for years. I was tired of spending 30-40 minutes diffusing my curls. After watching several reviews comparing the Shark & Dyson hair dryers, I decided to go with the Shark because it’s for at home use and I was going to save $200+ so it just made sense. The hair dryer is easy to use, has 3 heat setting & 3 air flow settings. I like that it included 2 straightening attachments, I rately straighten my hair but if I do these attachments will come in handy. I did have to buy the diffuser attachment seperate but that didn’t bother me since the hair dryer itself was on sale. I used it for the first time this week and it only took me 15 minutes to diffuse my hair. I immediately noticed more definition in my curls and less frizz than when using my cheap hair dryer. So if you want to save some money and aren’t using it for professional use, consider the Shark Hyperair hair dryer.

    I just received a new Shark HyperAir hair dryer and IQ Styling Brush, and after using it for the past few days I believe that it is going to be my new best friend. My hair looks great and was dried in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Healthy, easy styling is a girl’s best friend especially when it is a daily chore and has been for decades. The product is designed around Shark’s new technology that intelligently combines High-Velocity Heated Air & Ionized Air and delivers ultra-fast drying that leaves my hair with limited heat damage. The combination of the Ionized Air increases smoothness and shine while decreasing frizz and fly-away strands of hair. The unit is very light weight and when in full operation, is still very quiet. The controls are strategically placed for ease with an On/Off control at the rear of the handle along with a Temperature Control with 3 speeds and an Airflow with three speeds also on the rear. There is a Cool Shot button on the face of the handle to lock in a style with a blast of cool air. The HyperAir is designed to be used with its four (4) IQ Styling attachments, two are included with the purchase of the hair dryer. The IQ 2-in-1 Concentrator is very adjustable and allows for precision from pre-styling to precise definition. The IQ Styling Brush attaches perpendicular to the air flow of the unit and rotates 360 degrees so that it can easily be used either horizontally or vertically. The Styling Brush is manufactured with a combination of smoothing boar bristles and plastic tipped bristles which when combined promotes healthy hair and facilitates styling ease. In addition to the two attachments that come with the unit, two (2) other IQ Styling devices can be purchased separately. They include an IQ Curling Diffuser and an IQ AirWave which dries longer strands of hair in a restricted chamber and makes longer lasting waves with a whole lot less heat than it normally takes to do the same. The HyperAir uses the technology PID intelligent heat control to measure outlet heat up to 1,000 times per second. This technology is the key to the most wonderful attributes of this hair dryer - consistent heat and air distribution. Another impressive feature is that the IQ Styler attachments are designed with dual optical sensors that recognize the stylers and intelligently set heat & airflow for faster styling. The unit comes with a 2-year limited warranty and is basically maintenance free because it even has an air filter that is equipped with an integrated lifetime filter that doesn’t need to be removed or replace. It just needs to be cleaned and the product is designed so that the filter can be easily cleaned. I have had some high-end hair dryers, including the one that this one is often compared to, but this retails for ½ the cost of that product and is just as effective with easier to use attachments. It is a very good hair dryer and is designed exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to recommend it personally to anyone. It is well worth the investment if you have to get up every morning and style your hair before going out the door.
