My vanity is overflowing with hair tools: I own about five classic curling irons, three flat irons, a few thermal volumizing brushes, a trusty blow dryer, and a couple different air-styling devices, including the Shark FlexStyle. While I adore trying the latest and greatest hair innovations—it’s literally my job—trust me when I tell you it’s not necessary to buy all of them. And hot take: The viral multi-stylers aren’t for everyone.
Considering its virality, you might think the FlexStyle would be my tried-and-true styler. However, the tool I end up using most often is the Shark Glossi, an under-the-radar blow-dryer brush. Shark quietly launched it in 2025, and while it doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the FlexStyle, I think it’s a better—and more affordable—option for those who primarily want to achieve silky salon-quality blowouts at home.
Could the Shark Glossi be the right hair tool for you? Below, I break down everything you need to know about the tool, including its price and features. Plus, you’ll find my unfiltered review of the blow-dry brush after using it for nearly a month.
The Shark Glossi is a two-in-one blow-dryer brush designed for all hair types that simultaneously dries and styles hair with airflow and a heated ceramic comb. The traditional blow-dry brush side (which covers about 3/4 of the barrel) combines nylon and boar bristles for optimal tension and control, while the comb side glosses and smooths with minimal heat for extra shine. One unique design feature is the shape of the barrel—it’s tapered rather than cylindrical, which allows you to completely dry your roots and boost volume.
This shape also makes a major difference when styling shorter layers, including bangs and bobs. While most blow-dry brushes should only be used on wet hair, the Glossi has a wet and a dry mode. The wet mode is meant to dry and style damp hair, whereas the dry mode only utilizes the ceramic comb to tame flyaways, as well as reshape and refresh your style between washes.
Let me preface this by saying I’m a bit of an at-home blowout connoisseur. I’ve tried countless blow-dry brushes over the years, and have perfected my twist-and-flick method for professional-looking waves. The Shark FlexStyle had been my go-to tool over the past few months.
