The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex is a lightweight, foldable hair dryer designed for salon-style blowouts at home, with airflow up to 100 mph and a temperature sensor that regulates heat 1,000 times per second to keep the air below 230°F. A Scalp Shield mode also lowers the temperature to 122°F for safely drying near the scalp. The system ships with four attachments: a Turbo Concentrator, a DefrizzFast Diffuser, a QuickSmooth Brush, and a FrizzFighter Finishing Tool.

An easy-to-use hair tool that can get you salon-perfect hair

High-velocity airflow is the main appeal of the SpeedStyle Pro Flex over a standard hair dryer. The 100 mph airflow dries hair fast enough to cut your typical drying times in half compared to budget dryers. The temperature sensor also runs 1,000 times per second, throttling the air whenever the reading approaches 284°F, the threshold for heat damage. So the airflow stays high while the temperature stays controlled.

Scalp Shield is the major new feature on the Pro Flex line, designed to drop the air temperature to 122°F for drying close to your scalp. The setting works for finishing root drying after most of the moisture is gone, especially on color-treated hair or hair that’s already been styled with heat from a flat iron or curling wand. Ionic technology also reduces frizz by neutralizing the static charge that builds up in damp hair during drying.
