It often feels like there\u2019s a new expensive hair tool launching every week; we can barely keep up. However, given there are so many to choose from, finding the right one for you can be a bit of a headache, which is where we come in.<\/p>\n

Our shopping experts have tried and tested thousands of products, from speedy hairdryers<\/a> to scalp serums<\/a>, so when the new Shark SilkiPro Straight<\/a> landed on our desk, we knew we had to put it to the test. <\/p>\n

Costing \u00a3249.99<\/a>, the new tool is a wet-to-dry air straightener, designed to smooth and straighten strands as you dry them, with less heat damage, interchangeable combs for extra control and shine, and even a built-in hairdrying feature.<\/p>\n

While it officially launches on March 4, we\u2019ve been testing it in advance so we can tell exactly what we think.  <\/p>\n

Metro\u2019s shopping contributor Louise Whitbread, have spent the last few weeks getting to grips with Shark<\/a>\u2019s new tool, to unpack whether it\u2019s worth a spot in your routine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s their verdict\u2026<\/p>\n

Louise Whitbread, Metro shopping contributor<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n

‘I use a lot of heat on my hair. It\u2019s fine, thina nd naturally straight so when I\u2019m attempting to curl it, I typically turn it up to the hottest setting and hope for the best. My hair doesn\u2019t appreciate this, as you can imagine, and I have more heat damage than I should, especially as a beauty journalist. <\/p>\n

Any tool that promises to minimise heat damage gets my attention, and Shark\u2019s multi-purpose tool seems right up my street.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"Purple<\/a>\t<\/div>

It comes in a sleek, heatproof case that\u2019s compact and perfect for travel, along with a number of features you need to know about. Firstly, if you lock the plates together with the click of a button, you can give yourself a sleek blow-dry without needing an entirely separate tool. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a narrow groove alongside one of the plates, which is for slotting in one of the three interchangeable combs it comes with, so when you\u2019re blow-drying, it smooths strands as you pull through the hair. For hair that\u2019s prone to severe knotting (especially when wet), it\u2019s a thoughtful design specification that I have a lot of time for. <\/p>\n

If you love a silky-soft blow-dry, you\u2019ll love the mix of combs that add shine and allow you to adapt your blow-dry to your hair type. For example, the wide-tooth comb can be used to rough-dry roots and give my flat hair a bit of volume, the gentle comb provides a straight style that still has movement, and the precision comb is for an ultra-sleek finish. <\/p>\n

While the tool itself is a little heavy, it\u2019s much cheaper than alternative multi-purpose tools (cough, cough Dyson) and the convenience of one tool that does it all is so helpful if you\u2019re both short on time and a bit lazy with your hair like me.<\/p>\n

The only downside for me is it\u2019s a big clunky if you\u2019re trying to curl strands – I\u2019ve also found it hard to curl my hair with straighteners, so this for me, is much better suited to straight hairstyles.’<\/p>\n

And there you have it. We’re sold, but are you?<\/p>\n
