The Shark Glam is a multi-styler kit rather than a dedicated straightener, but it earns a place among wet to dry tools because of its Silki attachment. That tool combines heat-controlled ceramic with high-speed airflow to smooth wet or dry hair. The Glam suits someone who wants to straighten some days and curl or diffuse on others, all from one base unit. Its broad range of attachments is the main reason to choose it.

Our take
The Silki tool for straight styles
Shark describes the Silki tool as giving a silky-smooth finish on wet or dry hair, with up to twice the shine. It is the closest attachment in the kit to a straightener, pairing ceramic surfaces with airflow. Gloss Lock Technology is said to seal in shine on dry hair so styles last all day, as footnoted on the listing.
The listing does not state temperatures or the number of heat settings.
The rest of the kit
The Glossi Hot Tool and Air Glosser handle wet or dry blow-dries with less frizz, adding smoothness, stretch and bounce. Auto-Wrap Curlers wrap, set and curl, and a Curl Defining Diffuser targets natural curls. Shark's specification also mentions a styling concentrator and storage. Amazon lists the package at 1.83 kg, which covers all attachments.
Storage and learning curve
Five attachments take up space and need somewhere to live. A multi-styler also has more to learn than a single straightener, because each attachment works a little differently. The payoff is that one corded unit replaces several tools.
Glam against single-purpose tools
The Shark SilkiPro focuses on straightening, with ceramic plates, airflow, three combs and a listed maximum of 230°C. The Dyson Airstrait is a dedicated air straightener with stated settings. The Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 is a dryer that twists into an air styler with a paddle brush and curlers.
When a straightener alone is better
If you only want straight hair, you pay for curlers and a diffuser you will not use, and the listing gives no temperature details for the Silki tool. A dedicated straightener gives clearer information and less clutter, and it is quicker to pick up for a short touch-up.
Verdict
Choose the Shark Glam if you want straightening, curling and diffusing in one kit and like to vary your look. If straight styles are all you need, the Shark SilkiPro is the focused option, and the Dyson Airstrait suits those who want a dedicated wet to dry straightener with stated settings.
