Shark HD120BRN Blow Dryer HyperAIR Fast-Drying with IQ 2-in-1 Concentrator, Styling Brush, and Curl-Defining Deep Diffuser Attachments, Ionic, No Heat Damage, for All Hair Types, Stone

TL;DR: run don't walk This is hands down the very best hair dryer I have ever used. I have had other pricey hair dryers and they don't hold a candle to this one. Yes, it is a big investment, but if you're serious about your hair care or if you have high maintenance hair that requires a lot to look even decent (my situation), it is so worth it. My most recent hair dryer before this one is the L'ange and I loved it, but I bought it when I was routinely styling my hair straight (I have curly hair) and their diffuser is your standard stuff. I have been on my curly hair journey to start styling my hair curly again and heard a lot of skuttlebutt about the diffuser on this hair dryer. The claims about the amazingness of the hair dryer itself plus the diffuser for curly gals is what sold me on trying it. I can confirm that the hair dryer is amazing no matter what attachment you use, and if you're a curly hair gal, the diffuser and hair dryer performance is even better than I thought it would be. My hair dries so much faster with less speed and less heat. This cuts down on heat damage, my curls are more intact, my hair is shinier, and now I am not sweating my butt off when I'm done drying my hair. The attachments are also so easy to use. I did see complaints about the weight of this hair dryer but I don't think it's heavy at all. Most high quality hair dryers are heavier than cheaper ones and this hair dryer is lighter than my L'ange was even with the big diffuser on. I suppose the weight could be an issue for someone with limited strength/mobility, but no more than any other good quality hair dryer.

I LOVE THIS BLOW DRYER. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back to a different one after using this. First, it’s extremely quiet compared to a typical hair dryer, which is always a win if you are trying not to wake others early in the morning. The air flow is strong, but also automatically adjusts. You can change the temperature of the air and the flow level, which drastically reduces the risk of heat damage. My hair feels much more smooth after using. The buttons are stable and are not flimsy. The quality of the hair dryer is unmatched. My sister used it as well and said it was the best blow dry she’s had in a very long time! The price is really worth it for this product and I typically am not one to recommend a top of the line product unless it can really show it’s worth! The only annoying part is you MUST clean the back of the dryer routinely. However, they give you a tool to do this and it takes all of 1 minute to do a thorough clean. If you never clean the back filter, you’ll notice drying time increasing and function of the dryer decreasing. It’s annoying but not even bad enough for me to give it four stars because the function of it is so great. If you’re mulling over the decision to buy this, do it. You will not regret it.

Never in my 40+ life have I been able to use and hair dryer and diffuser for even a minute without frizz until now. This dryer/diffuser combo is AH-mazing. I pair it with Leaf Flower Curl Defining Cream (which I picked up from my stylist and can’t find on Amazon). The results are undeniable. The diffuser can be adjusted for long or short hair/roots so you have one diffuser instead of two. I’m giving this five stars because the above means so much to me BUT I do have one thing that I don’t like. The straighter is not effective. I don’t know if my curls are too intense, but it does not give even the semblance of a smooth blowout for me. I went into this knowing I’d have to use a flat iron even with the best blowdryer around, but the straightening attachment left me with a frizzier mess than other tools that I possess and it took longer than some of those other tools because I broke it down into smaller sections in attempt to avoid the issue my second time trying to blow out my hair. Still, styling my hair curly is far less time-consuming than a blow out and a vast improvement over walking around with soaking wet hair, so five stars from me. It’s also less noisy that my Babyliss. I can listen to music while I work. I see people complaining that it’s heavy, but it doesn’t seem particularly weighty to me.

I'll start by saying a currently have a Babyliss dryer so that is what I am comparing this to. I normally would not spend this much on a blow dryer but the price was good on Prime Day so I thought I would give it a try. Pros - I like the way the attachments fit onto the dryer. They are easy to get on and off and stay put. I also like the way you can rotate them very easily. I used the concentrator and it was helpful to rotate it based on where I was drying and also to control the concentration level. The noise level is also pretty low - very different from a standard dryer. More of a hiss then the hard blowing sound. I have a lot of hair and it is neither straight or curly. I have never been able to get it sleek enough with just a dryer and always have to follow up with the straightener. This did a decent job but really no different than my current dryer. Cons - This baby is HEAVY. I could not get over how heavy it was. This was really the deciding factor in returning it. I couldn't deal with using it for 15 min. I also tried the brush and it did not work for me. It did not hold my hair in place and it blew around. I do not have fine hair so I was a bit surprised by this. Overall, for me, it was not worth the hefty price tag, even with the Prime Day special and I returned it. My Babyliss works just as good, is far lighter and the price much more managable.

I cannot tell you how much I love this blow dryer. I am someone who hates drying her hair because of how long it takes I have really thick hair and it takes forever to do anything to it but this blow dryer has changed that. I don’t have the Dyson so I cannot speak to the compare ability of the two but what I can tell you is I use this blow dryer all the time. the brush attachment is my favorite I use it so much it will blow dry my hair straight in about 30 minutes which for me is amazing. the diffuser is really good too I am not great at using the diffuser but I think it’s more user error on my part. The diffuser has a retractable option so you can make the prongs longer or shorter which is really really cool i don’t use the concentrator brush that much but I have used it and it’s really nice as well I honestly can’t say enough good things about this blow dryer and I love it I love the price I love the functionality it’s just overall a good buy if you’re on the fence just go for it because it is a great investment to put in for yourself you’re worth it and you should do it.

The price of this dryer is obviously high. But I justified the money because I need to blow dry my hair every time I wash it. I don't wash it every day, or even every other day. Yet the dryer began overheating after two and a half years. Considering the frequency of use and price of product, this was very disappointing. I cleaned the filter, and deep cleaned the filter numerous times, but the dryer would automatically shut off after a few minutes. I tried different heat settings and speeds but the problem persisted. This dryer does not have a filter that you can remove to clean, which is unfortunate, as I assume that is why I and other customers have struggled with this issue. The design features of the product, especially the diffuser, is genius. But the dependency, unfortunately, is garbage. I contacted Shark about the problem, which I know they are aware of from reading about others' experience when I was trying to figure out how to fix it, and because it's been more than 2 years, I was offered a discount to purchase another one. $250 was a lot to pay for the first one, (again - not even used daily) and I would be foolish to pay that again - even with 30% off. If Shark would stand by their product, knowing that people are experiencing this design flaw, I would go on recommending this unique product. But because I know this is a known issue, I would warn that it is a risky purchase. And if you're a curly girl, make sure you hang on to your old dryer and diffuser to fall back on.

I used to think a $50 hairdryer was expensive, so getting this was quite an investment. My stylist recommended it to me when we found ourselves discussing Shark vacuums of all things. I have short (above the shoulders) wavy/curly hair and a lot of it. My hair has a mind of its own and is notoriously difficult to work with, even for seasoned pros. I’ve always needed to air dry to get my natural curls because using a hairdryer, even with a diffuser, would cause my hair to puff (literally double in size), frizz, and even lose its curl, despite using multiple curl-defining serums, creams, and gels. But air drying is so unpredictable and takes HOURS. My hair would still be at least 60% wet after 4 hours, for example. I decided to give diffusing with this dryer a go because I needed to justify spending the money on it. OH. MY. GOODNESS. My hair dried exactly how it was placed. No puffing. No frizzing. Just defined curls and waves. I’m ecstatic. A new era of my life has been unlocked! I no longer have to plan my hair washing days around needing to air dry. I no longer have to worry about hair unpredictability. On days when I don’t wash, I can just get my hair a little damp and reset it with the diffuser. At the risk of sounding dramatic, this purchase has been life-changing. I’m feeling confident about my hair for the first time in a long time, and it feels oh-so good.

Exactly like a Dyson minus the filter problem so 100/10 styles my hair perfectly

Vale la pena el costo. El difusor me deja los rizos con volumen. Termino de sacarlo en 8 minutos

Great

Seca el.cabello más rápido y no lo maltrata 😊

The dryer works fine, although I’m not sure my hair quality is better for it. I’ve had to clean the filter at least once a month and I do not have a particularly dusty house. A little over a year after buying it it turns off 1-3 times per drying session (overheating). I’ve had professional grade dryers my entire life, this is the first time I’ve experienced this. Follow up: 2 years after receiving a replacement dryer, the overheating started again. DO NOT buy this product if you want to keep it more than 1-2 years. If you do decide to buy it, ask for a replacement at the first signs it has begun overheating.

Read so many incredible reviews on the product so was disappointed after a single use. I found the device got very hot when using and defeats the price tag of “less heat to dry”. Unit is heavy and can be hard to manipulate.
