Shark Launches $249 SilkiPro Straight, a Wet-to-Dry Styler With Heat-Sensing Plates and Swappable Combs

Early hands-on reviews highlight sleek results, with independent validation of heat-damage claims pending.

Overview

  • Released Feb. 17, the SilkiPro is Shark’s first standalone air-and-ceramic straightener designed to style from wet to dry.
  • Shark says HeatSense ceramic sensors take 1,000 temperature readings per second, and the tool includes wide-tooth, gentle, and precision comb attachments.
  • Mashable’s testing reported glossy straightening and improved ergonomics versus the Glam system, but noted sessions taking well over an hour and limited curling ability.
  • Bustle’s reviewer gave a 5/5 rating after salon and at-home trials on 3A curls, citing faster routines, smoother roots, and strong results on textured hair.
  • Priced at $249.99, it undercuts Dyson’s Airstrait (about $549.99), though a concurrent $299.99 sale on Shark’s Glam bundle complicates the value proposition.
