There's nothing worse than heat damage. It can cause breakage, impact your hair and scalp health, and leave ends severely dry. Thankfully, Shark Beauty has thought of everything to eliminate heat damage, with the launch of two new wet-to-dry stylers in Australia.Designed with heat damage in mind, the new Shark SilkiPro Straight and Glossi maximise airflow and heat settings to ensure minimal hair damage. As a hair tool reviewer, I was beyond eager to get my hands on the first wet-to-dry stylers for the brand.I did approach using the stylers with a degree of scepticism, however. Although I appreciate airstylers because they minimise hair damage, I typically have to rely heavily on hairspray to keep my styles intact. This is largely because airtools like the Dyson Airstrait do not use heated plates, effectively cutting down on the amount of direct heat applied to the hair, and therefore, don't clamp the hair into a pin-straight finish.This was the case during my Dyson Airstrait review. Even though the Airstrait excelled at drying and styling my hair from wet to dry in a matter of minutes, it only achieved a naturally straight finish with its angled airflow. However, the SilkiPro has ceramic elements, meaning there's a heated plate at play alongside Shark's impressive heat and airflow tech. While my experience with the Dyson Airstrait was generally positive, I was curious to see if the SilkiPro’s ceramic plates could offer a more polished finish.On the other hand, the Glossi also has ceramic elements, but it's a blowout brush with wet and dry modes. In my experience, blowout brushes can be used on damp hair, but not soaking wet, so my curiosity was piqued. Both tools can also be used on totally dry hair to achieve shiny, frizz-free styles.I put both of Shark's wet-to-dry stylers to the test to see how they fare — and ultimately which one I'd recommend — below.
