How does it compare with the Dyson Supersonic?

The Shark includes a diffuser and a folding handle, but it is heavier and its airflow and heat control are less refined. The Supersonic is the better pick if budget is not the limit.

Is it good for curly hair?

Yes. A Defrizzfast Diffuser is included, and owners with waves and curls say it defines texture with less frizz thanks to the ionic setting.

Can I take it in a carry-on?

The folding handle halves its size, but it is still a full-size dryer. Check your airline's size limits before packing it in a carry-on.

Is the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex worth it?

It undercuts most flex-head and ionic dryers that include a diffuser. If you want fast drying, scalp protection and a diffuser without paying premium-brand prices, it is a fair buy.

The dryer plus four attachments: Turbo Concentrator, Defrizzfast Diffuser, Quicksmooth Brush and Frizzfighter Finishing Tool.

Does it get hot enough to damage hair?

Shark says it regulates temperature 1,000 times a second and never exceeds 230°F, and Scalp Shield lowers heat near the scalp. That is cooler than many dryers on their top setting.

What does Scalp Shield do?

Shark says it instantly adjusts temperature to protect the scalp from extreme heat, and is designed to protect new hair growth. It works alongside the dryer's capped heat rather than replacing careful technique.

About the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex 4-in-1 Hair Dryer

The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex is a 1,700W ionic hair dryer with three speed settings, four heat settings and four attachments, including a diffuser. Its folding handle halves its size for storage, and the flex head angles to reach the back of the head more easily. Shark says the airflow reaches 0–100 mph in under a second, the dryer checks temperature 1,000 times a second and never exceeds 230°F, and Scalp Shield cuts heat when the dryer gets close to the scalp. IQ Styling auto-adjusts each accessory to its ideal temperature and airflow. Owners rate it well for drying power and the diffuser; against premium rivals it gives up some airflow and heat-control refinement but includes more in the box.
