Since its inception, Shark Beauty has maintained a reputation for sleek, multi-use hair tools. From viral moments on TikTok to celebrity endorsements, Shark Beauty is having a moment. While their FlexStyle is often considered the crown jewel of the brand’s offerings, the SmoothStyle is quickly stepping into the spotlight for its affordable price and major versatility. Because of the tool’s TikTok fame and overwhelmingly positive reviews, it’s rare you’ll find this hair dryer brush on sale. But today, you can shop the Shark SmoothStyle hair dryer brush and styler for just $80 at Sharkclean.com, Sephora, and Amazon.
Released in August 2023, the Shark SmoothStyle Heated Comb + Blow Dryer Brush is the only tool of its kind on the market, designed to dry, smooth and straighten hair — but with a twist. Combining the functions of a blow dryer brush and a straightening comb, this top hair styling tool gives you the look of a blowout, but can also minimize frizz with its smoothing hot plates. It’s designed to monitor and block damaging temperatures, ensuring your blowout won’t destroy your hair over time, also making it ideal for color treated or curly users.

The Dry Hair Mode is as versatile as the tool itself — perfect for refreshing bedhead, ponytail creases, and more. Looking closer, a combination of nylon and boar bristles contribute to making your hair as polished as possible, designed to grab, smooth and shine. The Wet Hair Mode will not only will dry your hair, but also add bounce and volume, looking like you just left the salon each and every time. When the SmoothStyle launched last fall, Shark Global Ambassador and celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton told WWD that “we did a lot of research on these types of tools, and while they give bounce, the tools often leave hair looking dry and a bit too fluffy. This tool’s heated element gives a polished finish.”
Our WWD Shop editors tested and reviewed the tool when it launched and were instantly impressed with the results. Our naturally curly, thick-haired reviewer noted that while it may be slightly heavier than competitors, the drying time was significantly faster, too, reaching her roots and giving her volume without frizz and excessive lift. We’re super fans of how this works for all hair types and how ideal it is for daily use or travel.
Our final verdict? Our reviewer noted that for under $100, you’ll get “a high performance, non-damaging hair dryer brush as well as a heated comb.” And with reviews like that, we suspect it won’t be in stock at this price for long.
