Eagle-eyed viewers of Love Island might have noticed the best hairdryer dupe being used particularly enthusiastically in the villa dressing room over the years – yes the Shark hair stylers, which bear a strong resemblance to the leading Dyson range. These hair tools are not only loved by reality stars and influencers, but are also significantly cheaper than their Dyson counterparts. Now thanks to the Amazon Prime Day sale, they're even cheaper - previously priced at £319, the Shark FlexStyle are now a steal at just £229.
We're a huge fan of Dyson hair stylers and the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is a favourite among the Grazia beauty team. It dries hair in double quick time and weighs a fraction of your average hair dryer. Products of serious quality like this, also come with a hefty price tag (£479). So enter dupes to save the day, although we must say very few compare to Shark's FlexStyle.
In fact, cut to any shot of a Love Islander drying their hair this year and you might spot them holding the Shark Style iQ hair dryer or Shark FlexStyle multi-use dryer. Now, we've seen it splashed all across socials including the infamous viral TikTok's (just like the time when everyone was raving about the Revlon One Step hairdryer), so this is the newest hair tool to have your hands on.
What makes the Shark range so special? Well, apart from giving the same results as the Dyson counterparts for a fraction of the price (£250 price difference), the tools are actually pretty effective in their own right. With hundreds of reviews across social media raving about how good they are, it's pretty hard to ignore the fan following.
So, with Love Islanders being spotted using them day and night in the villa as well as a tonne of influencers sharing their love for the dupe, here's where to get your hands on the Shark Air Styler and save an extra £90 too!

sharkThat's right the Shark FlexStyle is the ultimate dryer to have, as seen in the Love Island villa dressing room. With five different attachments, including options to curl, straighten, smooth and volumise hair, there's simply nothing it can't do. Plus, it's a very similar dupe to the Dyson Airwrap.
Customer review: 'The Shark FlexStyle is very versatile, convenient, and simple to use. The two brush attachments are very effective, one for smoothing and one for adding curl/bounce/volume. The ability to twist the end of the Flexstyle to use it as a hairdryer is very handy also!'
