Although we’re huge fans of the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer, one thing we’re not a fan of is the hefty £329.99 price tag which is why we’re constantly on the lookout for affordable alternatives.

Luckily, this Shark hair dryer which thousands of customers say is “better than the Dyson” has been dropped to just £99 from £179.99 in the brand's early Black Friday sale - giving you the perfect chance to try it out.

The Shark STYLE iQ Ionic Hair Dryer & Styler boasts rapid air power and iQ technology which generates high-velocity heated and ionised air for no heat damage, making it a healthier and efficient alternative to other hair stylers out there.

And it’s not just the hair dryer you’ll get, as it comes with plenty of accessories and attachments including a styling brush for that sleek salon finish, a two-in-one concentrator for controlled and precise styling and a diffuser for lifting and defining curls.

The hair tool even has the option to change up the temperature and airflow, so you can get the best results for your hair. Hundreds of shoppers have left glowing five-star reviews on the Shark website, with some calling it 'excellent,' and 'so powerful.'

One delighted customer said: “Fantastic bit of kit, dries hair so quickly and frizz free, can't recommend this enough, best hair dryer I've ever had, even better than dyson

A second shopper wrote: “This hair dryer has changed my life. I couldn't afford the "Posh Dyson" and I'm so glad I didn't scrape the barrel to buy one - because this drys my thick curly hair perfectly preventing next day frizz and flyaways.”

While a third said: “I didn’t think it would be as good as the more expensive Dyson, was I wrong. Lightweight, quiet, easy to use, perfect. Best hair dryer ever."

Although many customers have amazing results with this hair dryer, some have been left unimpressed, with one shopper even leaving a one star review on the Shark website. She wrote: "I have a short bob, hoped this would leave it sleek and shiny but left my hair dry and frizzy, same on my daughters long hair."

If you're on a slightly tighter budget, according to plenty of reviews, this Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser gives similar results to the Dyson and Shark - however, it's a fraction of the price at Currys, costing £34.99 (was £62.99).

The tool combines a hair dryer and a styling brush, designed to speed up the process of drying and styling without damaging your hair. It has a ceramic coating and ionic technology, which helps to distribute heat evenly to reduce frizz and make sure your locks are left healthy-looking and sleek.
