Shark SpeedStyle Pro review

Shark SpeedStyle Pro (model HD731) is the strongest all-round dryer on this list for straight and wavy hair. SharkNinja says its airflow goes from 0 to 100 mph in less than a second, and that the dryer measures and regulates temperature 1,000 times a second without exceeding 230°F. Scalp Shield lowers the air temperature near the scalp, and IQ Styling sets heat and airflow automatically for each attachment. The box holds three of them: the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool, the QuickSmooth Brush and the Turbo Concentrator, with more such as the DefrizzFast Diffuser at $39.99 each. Shark lists 1,750 watts, a 96.1 in cord and a 2 year limited warranty, and the price on its US store is $229.99. It weighs 1.65 lbs, close to double the Laifen Swift, and Shark does not publish a noise figure. Curly and coily hair has its own SpeedStyle bundle (HD332).
