Best for anyone with fine-to-medium, straight or wavy hair who wants salon-fast drying plus smoothing and shine from one lightweight kit.
Overview
The Shark SpeedStyle HD331 is a lightweight, high-velocity hair dryer built for fine-to-medium, straight and wavy hair, designed to take hair from wet to styled fast while cutting down on frizz. Its IQ styling automatically adjusts heat and airflow to whichever magnetic attachment is fitted, and it regulates temperature many times per second to style without exposing hair to damaging heat. It ships as a 3-in-1 kit: a smoothing brush, a concentrator and a gloss finisher.
The good
- Very fast, even drying — reviewers repeatedly say it dries in a fraction of the time of older dryers
- Lightweight and comfortable to hold and maneuver for its power
- Quieter than many cheaper high-power dryers
- Good value for an all-in-one, with several styling attachments in the box
The trade-offs
- Higher price than basic dryers (the most-repeated complaint)
- No diffuser in the box; it is sold separately (per reviewers)
- Needs regular filter and vent cleaning to keep airflow up
