Hair & Personal Care

Almost everything here is a hair appliance, and the technology has moved enough that the old categories no longer describe it. High velocity dryer systems use a fast, lower-temperature airflow with attachments that dry, smooth and volumise, so a single tool replaces a dryer plus brushes; the multi-in-one systems come as three, four and five in one depending on how many attachments are included. Air stylers curl and wave using airflow rather than a hot barrel, which is gentler on the hair than tongs. Multi stylers and straighteners handle straight, wave and curl from one plate set, and hot brushes combine brushing and heat in one pass. Cordless and pocket dryers trade some power for portability. Grooming sits alongside, with rotary shavers and beard trimmers. The figure worth comparing on a dryer is airflow and motor speed rather than wattage, since a high velocity motor at lower heat does less damage than a hot conventional dryer.

Shark leads the range across the SpeedStyle Pro high velocity systems, FlexStyle air stylers, Glam and SilkiPro multi stylers and Glossi hot brushes, with Dreame on the Hair Miracle Pro and Pocket dryers, the AirStyle Pro styler and LED face masks, and Remington across the ProLuxe dryer, Luxe straighteners, B5 beard trimmers and R1 and Duracut rotary shavers.
