Shark hair tool that's makes hair 'so smooth' cut by 51% off
If you are after a new hair tool to cope with the summer heat, Amazon shoppers are recommending the Shark SmoothStyle, which they say is better than other brands, including Revlon and GHD. It is also now a fantastic 51% off at Amazon. The Shark SmoothStyle heated brush and comb is now just £49.49 in a brilliant price drop down from £99.99. This is saving shoppers a massive 51%. The Shark SmoothStyle is an all-in-one smoothing hot brush and comb for wet and dry hair. The hair tool creates voluminous styles with a smooth, soft finish and is said to be 'perfect for all hair types.' You can dry, volumise, and style with no heat damage with the Shark SmoothStyle, which has two modes in which to style your hair. In wet hair mode, SmoothStyle never reaches heat-damaging temperatures, meaning your hair will be protected. You can also twist to select between three air temperatures, giving you plenty of choice. If you are looking for a different option, Boots is selling the BaByliss Air Style 1000 for £75, while another option is the Revamp Progloss Deepform hair straightening brush for £59.99 from Currys. In dry hair mode with the Shark SmoothStyle you can smooth, align, and shape your hair for weightless bounce. Ideal for refreshing second-day hair, taming unruly bedhead, smoothing out ponytail creases, and more. Thanks to its integrated ceramic-coated comb dry hair is smoothed with lower hair temperatures for a soft, bouncy, healthy-looking finish. Many shoppers have raved about the Shark SmoothStyle. One said: "Bought another Revlon too in the hope that the difference would be negligible but I must admit the Shark is worth it. Yes it's a little bit heavier, but I dried my hair on a much much cooler setting than with the Revlon and my hair is so smooth I can't stop touching it, and with a lovely wave using the plates, rather than sizzling it with the GHDs which I normally have to do after drying." Another added: "Honestly the best hair tool I have used. I've had other very highly rated brands that did a good job but this shark smooth style is another level." A third said: "I can't believe how great this product is! Being a long-time user of similar hair tools, I must say this one exceeds all my expectations. It's incredibly easy to use and takes all the fuss out of tidying and smoothing hair." One person said the brush was too heavy, they said: "Had to return this , it was very well made but just too heavy." Another option for a hot air styler is John Lewis for the BaByliss Air Power Volume hot air styler for £54.40.

I tested GHD's new hair tool against Asda's £141 cheaper version – the winner gave me luscious locks that lasted all day
MERMAID waves are making a splash this summer, from Sofia Richie to Molly-Mae, everyone's after that beachy glow-up. So when GHD launched its new Curve Wave triple-barrel tool, promising beachy waves in minutes for £159, I had to know if it was really worth the hefty price tag. 8 I tested two hair wavers to see which one gave the best results 8 I began both styles on roughly blow-dried hair Or could a Enter the George at Tucked away on the supermarket's shelf, I found the George Black Hair Waver for just £14.40 That's £141 cheaper than the GHD and barely more than a posh shampoo. Read more on hair tools So I put them both to the test to see if this supermarket buy could be the ultimate GHD George Hair Waver 8 The Asda hair waver gave me a beachy mermaid look that lasted all day long Black Hair Waver, £14.40, Starting with the underdog, I unboxed the George hair waver and took it for a spin. I prepped my hair by giving it a quick wash and blow dry and made sure to use heat protectant. Most read in Fabulous I used the same hair wash products and Once you plug it in and switch it on, there's no indicator to tell you when it's ready to use but I found it heated up in around 30-45 seconds. Can £39 viral split ends cutter replace hairdresser So far, although it looks pretty basic, I was happy - it heated up in under a minute and was light enough to hold without giving me arm ache. With smaller barrels than the likes of the GHD, I had to work in narrower sections. I split my hair in two (mine's thick and long – the kind that makes most tools cry) and worked through it in about 20 minutes. That's quick enough for me to fit into my morning routine. I have to say, the results were shockingly good. It delivered defined, structured waves that looked glossy and polished – like The kind of hair that makes strangers ask what shampoo you use. But here's the kicker, the style lasted all day long. Even the next morning, I woke up with waves intact, which came as a major surprise because my hair struggles to hold a lot of styles. It's basic, yes, there's no cool tip or fancy temperature control but it just works. If you want tight waves that hold their shape, this little tool packs a serious punch. Rating: 9/10 GHD Wave Triple Barrel Hair Weaver– £159 8 The GHD gave me a soft, effortless look Credit: ghd GHD Wave Triple Barrel Hair Waver, £159, Now for the more expensive one. Let's be honest, GHD knows how to do sleek. From the luxe packaging to the premium feel, it oozes designer energy. It even gives a polite chime when it's ready to go and it heats up in a flash. The bigger barrel means you can tackle more hair at once, which sounds great in theory. But the tool itself is very weighty, and awkward to manoeuvre, especially when trying to get round the back. I even caught the side of my neck once, leaving a small burn. But the good thing is you're not holding it up for too long. Once I got into the groove, it took me around 15-20 seconds to do per section. I have to say, the results were undeniably pretty. It gave me soft, loose, beachy waves that were perfect for a soft summer look. But within a few hours, they'd started to fall. By the time I'd reached the dinner table, my 'effortless glam' had turned into 'couldn't find my brush'. On thinner or finer hair, it might've held better. But on my thicker hair, the GHD just couldn't keep up. Gorgeous at first, yes – but it wilted so fast, I had to restyle my hair for my evening dinner plans. Rating : 6/10 How do they compare? Honestly, between the two wavers, the surprise winner was definitely the Asda waver. Sure, it doesn't come with the bells, whistles or luxury aesthetics but it certainly delivers. It gave me long-lasting, camera-ready waves that survived a full day of wear, all for under £15. It was lighter to hold, so no burns or arm aches. It was relatively quick and all around just very impressive for the price point. GHD's tool is undeniably sleek, quick and luxe. It looks a lot better than the Asda waver, that's for sure. But the results were sadly underwhelming. Although it gives you a nice soft, effortless look, the style just didn't stick and when you're spending £159, you want more than just pretty packaging. So if you're after beach-babe waves that'll last all day long on a budget, the Asda waver is your new secret weapon. Proof that sometimes the most expensive tools aren't necessarily the best. 8 I prepped my hair with the Schwarzkopf Styling Caring Protect & Repair Spray Credit: Superdrug 8 I was extremely impressed with the Asda version 8 The GHD gave me a nice, soft wave 8 The GHD waves looked great but began to drop after a while
