If you’ve been eyeing Dyson’s Airstrait, but not loving the price tag, Shark just made things interesting. The brand’s new SilkiPro Straight Wet-to-Dry Straightener + Rapid Blow Dryer promises sleek, straight hair straight from wet — but the most exciting reveal is that it costs hundreds less than its luxury competitor.

The SilkiPro is designed to dry and straighten at the same time, eliminating the need for a separate blow-drying step. According to Shark, it features ultra-fast drying, three interchangeable comb attachments and is engineered for all hair types. But the big claim is that, similar to Dyson's tools (and other tools in Shark's lineup), it doesn't cause heat damage. I can confirm — I've been using a Shark FlexStyle almost daily for a couple years now and even my stylist regularly comments on how healthy and damage-free my hair is.
