Our Verdict
Rachael Martin, junior beauty editor:
'I honestly think the Shark is worth making a play for – especially as the discount is so impressive ahead of Black Friday. I find the tool simple to use and can easily flit between hairstyles - I'll go for straight and sleek one day, and wear it curly and voluminous the next. And let's have a moment for the oval brush attachment in particular -it’s become my holy grail of haircare. It’s made with a combination of boar and plastic bristles and makes light work of de-frizzing the halo of shorter hairs that sit around my hairline. Since incorporating this one into my routine the compliments have come reeling in, and my hair looks healthy and shiny. Of course, sale or not, it is still an investment. But truly? I’d make it in a heartbeat.’
How We Tested It
Rachael says: 'I’ve had the Shark Hair Wrap for about a year now and it’s become integral to my haircare routine. I typically wash my hair before bed and style it with the Shark in the evening. While it still looks pretty good come morning (I love a bouncy blow-dry) I’ll refresh with the Shark once more before heading to work, and I’m good to go. It's salon-worthy hair, all with minimal effort. While the brand do say that there’s no heat damage involved I’m still wary – I’ll always apply a hefty dose of the stuff just to be sure.’
Overall rating
Guaranteed good hair day? It’s a 4 out of 5 – and I’m only deducting a point because I don’t think the Black Friday offer will stay around for long.
