Purchased 2-3weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. I was planning on purchasing the Dyson but then this came along and I’m so glad it did. I’m a black woman with 4a/4b hair and this dryer does it all, from simply just drying to giving full on Dominican blowout vibes. Works even better on my yaki texturized clip ins. Buy it you won’t be disappointed!
I purchased the Dyson air wrap when it first came out but returned it because I couldn’t justify the hefty price tag. When I saw Shark came up with a dupe for half the price I jumped on it! I’ve literally gone from using a blowdryer, straightener for my edges, Revlon round brush and/or curling iron to one tool. It gets one less star in quality because the Dyson is heavier and seems more luxurious but the fact that you can twist the base 90° to form a blowdryer is a better deal. Some people have complained about the button placement of the cold shot but it doesn’t bother me one bit.
I ended up returning this after two weeks of trying to get it to work for me. I don’t think it works for my hair type (I have fine, straight hair) My friend with a coarser hair texture loves this!
Pros: -Dries very quickly -Hair is smooth and frizz free after styling -Lightweight -Less heat damage -Looks & feel luxurious
Cons: -Styles do not last & I found that when I slept (on a satin pillowcase with my hair in a silk cap) my hair would revert back to its original texture and frizz -Buttons are in an inconvenient spot -Hair got caught where the styling tool attaches to the base
The main con that pushed me to return was that my styles would only last one day even with proper care while sleeping. I would have to restyle my hair daily. Typically, my blowouts & curls last me around 3 days. Additionally, I live in a dry climate where humidity is not a factor impacting the longevity of my styles.
I love the concept! For a regular dry and blowout, the tool works great. When using the curling attachments, the curls last about 5 minutes before falling out of my hair. Overall, I’m pleased and will continue to use it. I will just use another heat tool for curls.
I have been using this tool for a couple of weeks now and I like it. Overall I think is a great tool, almost a dupe for the Dyson brush. I like that the round head brush is much bigger because I have long hair. My only critique thus far is that the bristles on the brush are very hard and almost feel too rough on the hair.
