Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been a huge proponent of round-brush dryers for a long time, since we had one in my mom's bathroom in the nineties, and so when they came back "en vogue", I was so excited! I've tried a couple of versions and kept returning on well known name and my process was to use the dryer and then use my straightening iron, because I have naturally curly hair, and it was certainly a process. The thing that appealed most to me about this "device" is that it claims to be the brush and straightener in one and since I travel a good bit, consolidation is always good! When I got it, I will admit that the first use was a little clunky, I didn't read the instructions because I thought I knew what I was doing and I was really wrong... You truly do need to let your hair air dry till it's about 70% dry and then blow it out with the brush-dryer and finish with the smoothing comb. Since I've been using a separate straightener, I had gotten used to a rather flat look and that was fine, but now I've discovered that I can have an actual full blow-out experience with the body and waves that last easily two days and I won't go back!

To start off, I have stick straight hair that is a little longer than shoulder length. I tried this product first in Wet Hair Mode to see how well it would work to take my just washed hair from damp to dry, and I would have to say it worked quite well in that aspect. I tried out all three temperature settings while drying my hair and followed the included styling guide (which was very helpful). My hair was completely dry in a short period of time, but it left my hair frizzy looking and very staticky. My daughter remarked that my hair looked better the way I normally dry it--with a light towel dry and letting it air dry. Next I tried it on a different day on Dry Hair Mode, to style it and smooth it out so my hair would look sleek and polished. I would say it technically worked, but honestly I get much better results from using a simple hair straightener/flat iron. My hair still turned out slightly a bit frizzy and fly-away staticky looking rather than sleek and polished. Not to mention, this thing is heavy and cumbersome! I guess I'm used to my simple flat iron which weighs a fraction of this bulky thing, but boy did I get a workout from holding this for long periods of time, the time it took to dry my hair from damp, and on the separate occasion I used it to attempt to smooth out my hair. All in all, if you have straight long hair (so I cannot attest to using this styling tool with any type of curly or coily hair) and you are looking to either simply dry your hair or just to smooth out your hair, you're better off with a simple blow dryer and flat iron.

This was the first comb straightener I have ever used, and I would say that it was good, but not great. Time is a big factor for me, and I noticed it took more time for me to use this product than my usual straightening iron. That being said, this seemed to be much healthier for my hair than cranking my iron up to 450 degrees and burning my hair. For that alone, I will continue to use this product. I just have to adjust my schedule accordingly. My hair did seem smoother and shinier using this product than my standard iron. When you use it on wet hair, your hair has to already be seventy-five percent dry beforehand. You cannot use this on "wet" hair, more like damp hair. I do not like to use heat products on my hair when its damp so I already was not much of a fan of the idea, but I will say that the lower heat setting did just fine. The roots were a little difficult to get to but the majority of my hair was done well. Like I said before, this product just takes a little more time than what I'm accustomed to. I have to account for that in the mornings. Overall if you are looking for a healthier alternative to a flat iron, I think this is the way to go. I didn't burn my hair using this. It was easy to understand how to use it. The instructions were clear.

The Shark SmoothStyle is a pretty cool concept. They had a great idea to place everything from a comb, straightener, and hair dryer all in one convenient package. I must admit, this product has some decent weight to it. It definitely weighs more then the typical hair dryer or typical hair straightener does on their own. The bulk is really the only negative that I found with this product. Upon unboxing it, I plugged it in and turned it on. I was surprised at the speed at which this device heated up! It was almost instant. For those people in a hurry to get ready, this device will definitely meet the challenge! The hair dryer portion moves quite a bit of air! I must note that, per the instructions, you cannot take your hair from completely wet to completely dry. The instructions state that the user's hair should be around 70% dry prior to using the device. I also like that it has a small tip on the end that allows the user to twist it. As you twist it the cord twists at the bottoms as well so the cord does not bind up. This device definitely helps produce volume for hair, but it is better suited for longer, straight hair instead of shorter straight hair.

A curly girl best friend. You an use it with your hair wet or dry and it delivers the best blow out. No need to go to a salon. This blow dryer brush does it all!

I love that I can style my hair with one hand. Both the hair dryer and the heated brush function work fantastic. My only gripe is it gets pretty heavy while using but I can live with that!

I was skeptical about this purchase due to this was the third round hot brush I was to buy. I purchased the Revlon and L’ange brush in the past 3 months. The Revlon was easy to use, size was great and it held my hair well but it let out too much heat for my hair to handle. Needless to say it was returned and I purchased the L’ange version and it was also good but once again it let out too much heat. The Shark is great as you can reduce the heat without reducing the air flow!! Also the new technology is amazing! This one is a keeper!

Dries hair faster and straightens so much better than I could have imagined. Would most definitely recommend

The Shark-SmoothStyle Heated Comb works amazing! For someone who has extra thick long hair it is a challenge finding a blow dryer brush that can handle my hair and give me that salon blowout at home, but I think I finally found the one!

I have to be totally honest. I tried this numerous times with both wet hair trying to dry my hair and dry hair. I have very long hair to start out, it goes down half my back. Using this was quite awkward for me with the length of my hair. First when it's wet it didn't do a very good job of drying it. It took so much longer than a normal blow dryer would have. When you have limited time in the morning this can be a pain. The first time it took me at least 20 minutes to dry my hair. Yes, it was less frizzy than normal, but that is just too long in my honest opinion to spend drying my hair. When my hair was dry, it did look quite nice and sleek and smooth, but again the length of my hair made it very difficult to use. The Shark Smooth Style is quite large and heavy to me. It didn't get to the roots of the hair at all, it's so big that it's impossible to do that. I was hoping that this was going to be an awesome items to use so that I only have to use one product and no longer require to use a round brush, this is not the case. I can see if someone has much shorter hair being able to use this with much less difficulty. But if you have a head full of hair that is halfway down your back, this probably isn't for you. It's probably nice, but just giving my full honest opinion that it's not something that fits into my morning routine at all. I really wish it would have been. Thank you.

Worked great at first. I used it to dry my naturally curly hair and then used the heat to style. Used it to style my hair 2 other times (with clean hair, no products except for heat protection the first time I used it). I was planning on using it for the 4th time, but I plugged it in and turned it too the heat setting and it began smoking.

I bought this for my self. Also I had to think a lot before I purchased it because once I purchased I purchased no turning back.

Dries hair easily and with less heat. Smooth finish. Straightening function works to smooth but leaving body.

Love it!!, it is just a little heavy, and the drying does not work together with the straightener, but still a great item to have

Excellent hair brush straightener very light easy to handle and leaves your hair as if you visited a stylist agent!

This shark blow dryer is fantastic!! I love it. Definitely worth the money

Good product drys hair super fast wife is in love with it

My wife love it, best one she ever gotten in months

I wanted to love it - I actually did briefly. But when I would set it to the dry hair mode, it was emitting a very strong burning odor. Like a space heater, but stronger & fairly offensive. It wasn’t dirty, or full of hair. This started the very first time I used it. I still used it, hoping it would stop smelling like that. But no - I turned it on after only a few uses & noticed that smoke was actually coming out of it while it was heating up. I’ve never had something like that happen with a hair tool. This is definitely not a keeper for me!

Too heavy, it pulled my hair too much Very disappointed
