Which is better for curly hair?

The Shark Glam lists curly and wavy hair as suitable and includes a diffuser plus ceramic plates. The Airwrap also includes a diffuser and lists enhancing natural curls as a use case. Try the Shark Glam first if you want a straightener attachment too.

The Shark Glam is 1.63 lb. Dyson does not list an Airwrap weight here, so the Shark is the only one with a confirmed figure.

Is the Airwrap worth the extra?

At $279.99 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, the Airwrap is not the extra-cost option; the Shark Glam has sold as high as $449.99 since November 1, 2026. The Airwrap is the better value at current prices.

Which has more attachments?

The Shark Glam. It includes a diffuser, Coanda auto-wrap curlers, a Silki straightener, a round brush and a wide-tooth comb. The Airwrap listing includes a diffuser and travel bag.

Neither listing gives a lifespan or warranty figure, so there is no basis to say one lasts longer. The Shark Glam has 4.6 out of 5 from 326 ratings; the Airwrap has no rating listed here.

Does the Shark Glam have a cool shot?

Yes. The Shark Glam lists a cool shot and multiple temperature settings. The Airwrap listing does not mention a cool shot.
