Shark entered the hairdressing tool market earlier this year and is a clear competitor to Dyson Air Technology

The last day of the Black Friday shopping boom in 2021, Cyber ​​Monday, has arrived, providing you with the last chance to snap up bargains before Christmas.

At IndyBest, we have been searching the Internet for the best deals throughout the event (and the first few weeks of the retailer’s early offers), so we know a thing or two about reliable discounts.

Follow in real time: the best Cyber ​​Monday deals to shop now

So far, from the coveted Nintendo Switch to the latest generation of AirPods, Kitchen Aids and Glossier cosmetics, all product promotions have seen impressive price cuts.

But so far, there is one brand that has been selling the most popular product: Dyson. It announced Black Friday offers before the important day, and although its website stated that it would offer limited edition gift sets, including hairdressing kits with free accessories, they were sold out throughout the weekend.

We know that everyone is looking for discounted airwrap or supersonic hair dryers. If you are unlucky (trust us, our eyes are on Dyson’s website), we are always ready to provide you with alternatives.

So far, we have found an impressive alternative to Dyson airwrap (available on Cyber ​​Monday), and we have also found that Shark’s answer to Dyson supersonic hair dryers is now discounted. The Shark-style iO hair dryer, newly launched earlier this year, uses similar airflow technology to rival Dyson's models.

Of course, we had to test two hair dryers to see if Shark's products really compete with the leading hairdressing tools, and found some impressive results. Now priced at less than £200, it may be the Dyson supersonic alternative you want.

Read on for everything you need to know about this device and how to snap it up on Cyber ​​Monday.

The brand did not shrink back when it first set foot in hairdressing tools, but instead developed a hair dryer that uses the brand's expertise in airflow (Hello, Shark vacuum cleaner) to dry quickly with almost no heat damage hair.

This dryer is equipped with a range of accessories, including diffusers and concentrators, with impressive features, including automatic adjustment of heat and airflow based on the head you connect.

Although our reviewers were a bit disappointed by the lack of high-quality packaging upon opening, they were immediately shocked by the lightness of the Shark device. It weighs only 730 grams, and only (yes, you guessed it) the Dyson Supersonic can match it.

"Just like Dyson, the heating and airflow buttons are on the barrel, and the power switch is on the handle-which means you are unlikely to accidentally switch the buttons during the drying process," our tester explained.

When it comes to direct comparisons between functions, one person stands out: "The feature that gives Shark style iQ an advantage over Dyson is the way the accessory works with the dryer. It can recognize the accessory you are using and respond accordingly. Automatically adjust temperature and airflow settings for best results."

Our tester’s hair felt smooth and shiny after use, thanks to Shark’s hair dryer being “an ionic tool, which means it releases negative ionic charges and counteracts the positive ionic charges in the damaged stratum corneum.” From Essentially, this means that the heat is more evenly distributed and the hair strands are sealed to help retain moisture. "

In their final verdict, our testers confirmed that the Dyson Supersonics really only pushed the shark to the post, but not much.

Our reviewer added, “It’s a light and quiet tool that makes it easy to dry your hair, whether it’s creating frizz-free straight hair styles or clear curly hair styles,” so if you are looking for something better than Dyson A cheaper alternative, then it is an important competitor, especially during Cyber ​​Monday, while also providing Shark tools.
