Shark just released the Shark Glam multi-styler last month, but the vacuum-turned-beauty-tech brand is already back with another release.
Meet the Shark Glossi. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because you can find it in its attachment form on the Shark Glam and FlexFusion (though it’s technically called the Wet-or-Dry Fusion Brush on the latter). Though it’s not a multi-styler, it can be used on both wet and dry hair, and clocks in at a much lower price point — $179.99, compared to the Glam’s $449.99 and FlexFusion’s $349.99.
As of Sept. 16, the hair tool is available on Shark’s website in three colorways: juniper, lychee, and raspberry.

What’s new about the Shark Glossi?
The Shark Glossi is a standalone, two-in-one hair styling brush that can be used with wet or dry hair. It already existed technically as an attachment for Shark’s other multi-stylers, but couldn’t be used without investing in the entire multi-styler.

Essentially, the Glossi is Shark’s solution for anyone interested in the particular hot comb, round brush combo attachment, but wasn’t interested in shelling out $350 or more to use it.
While other round brush stylers like the Drybar Double Shot, Revlon One-Step, Amika Blowout Babe, and WavyTalk Blowout Boost have been on the market for some time (and all cost less than the Glossi), they don’t quite feature the same tech as the Glossi. Where the former two brushes use hot air to help you achieve a smooth, blown-out look, the latter two use heat and no air.
Like the Glam attachment it shares its name with, the Glossi also has a unique teardrop shape that points on the side of the hot comb portion of the tool. The tapered end is designed for more precision styling that allows users to get close to the root of the hair.
How the Shark Glossi works
Though the Glossi offers a degree of flexibility in how it can be used, the general idea is to start with the wet mode, which only uses air styling, to thoroughly dry and add volume to damp hair. Then, users can switch to the dry mode of the tool, which heats up the hot brush while never exceeding 302 degrees Fahrenheit.
The addition of heat could be useful for anyone with textured hair who might find less success with tools that rely solely on hot air for styling. More generally, anyone looking for smoothed, straightened, and volumized hair might find their ideal tool in the Shark Glossi.
