Shark has reduced the price of its SilkiPro Hair Straightener and Dryer by £50 as part of a spring promotion, bringing the cost down from £249.99 to £199.99. The two-in-one device combines a hair dryer and straightener, and can also be used as a curler.
The tool features heat-controlled ceramic straightening plates and high-velocity airflow, allowing users to dry and style from wet or dry hair. It is available in plum and lilac shades.
Beauty editor Zoe Cripps tested the device and praised its smooth results on fine hair, noting that it cut styling time by eliminating the need to rough-dry first. However, she suggested that thicker, wavier, or frizz-prone hair might see more dramatic results.
Comparisons with other premium tools were made: the Dyson Airstrait costs £450 and uses only airflow, while the ghd Duet Style is now £269 and offers an ultra-glass shine finish. The Shark SilkiPro was described as heavier but with better control due to comb attachments.
Customer reviews on the Shark Ninja website include praise from those with thick, wavy, or curly hair, who found it easy to use and effective at reducing frizz and creating a silky shine.
