Diwali-Ready Hair: Sleek, Shiny Styles for the Festive Season

Diwali is a week of family, food and photos, and your hair will be in most of them. Sleek, glossy hair complements any outfit, and it catches the light beautifully under lamps – perfect for the Festival of Light.

Be inspired by four sleek and shiny styles, the habits that can help to keep hair smooth all evening, and the Shark Beauty tools that help you get there at home.

Four sleek and shiny styles for Diwali

Each party look uses a different Shark Beauty styler, so pick the one that suits your hair and your time.

Glass-smooth straight

A heated brush is a time-saving option, detangling, drying and shaping hair at the same time. The Shark Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Tool and Air Glosser’s heat-controlled ceramic plates and airflow smooth hair with every pass, so you can get a sleek, polished finish that lasts all day* - perfect for parties and gatherings. Start with damp hair, work in small sections and hold the styler tip for controlled drying and styling. Separate a small section on either side of your face, twist, and secure at the back of your head with a sparkling hair clip for a simple but effective style.
Bouncy, polished blow-dry

Bring on the bounce. The 4-in-1 Shark FlexStyle Next Gen IonCurl Air Styler & Hair Dryer comes with 32mm Auto-Wrap Curlers which use boosted airflow** to wrap, curl and set hair, for bouncy, defined curls that still look glossy. Or for a straighter look, use the FrizzFighter High Shine Polisher to smooth flyaways and boost shine. The hidden weapon? Scalp Shield mode is designed to protect new hair growth from excessive heat.
Shiny & silky-straight

Looking for a hair straightener with no heat damage? The Shark Glam Multi-Styler creates straight styles, soft waves and bouncy curls, with no heat damage when used in Wet Mode. Run the Silki tool through your hair for a smooth, silky finish with more shine*** - it makes the perfect first step for creating a high-pony or slick-back bun.
Polished blowdry with root lift

Looking to give your locks a lift? Try the original Shark FlexStyle – work the Oval Brush through the roots to build lift, then use the Styling Concentrator to direct airflow down the lengths. Finish with the FrizzFighter Finishing Tool. We love this limited edition Celestial Skies set with 6 accessories and Alligator Clips for easier styling.

Tips for sleek, shiny hair this Diwali

Use a conditioning treatment for extra shine. Some treatments can be sprayed or smoothed through damp or dry hair before you style for an extra-glossy finish. Finish with a hold spray to help your look last even longer.
Choose heat control. The Glossi and Glam both use heat-controlled ceramic, and the FlexStyle measures its air temperature 1,000 times a second, so you can style without high heat. Why not try styling on a lower temperature to show your hair even more love.
Work in small sections. Keep each section tight and even, and move the tool slowly down the hair for a smoother result.
Finish with cool air. A cool shot after each section helps the style set and keeps shape longer. Top tip: however long you hold the style with hot air, hold the Cool Shot button for the same length of time to lock in the style. In a rush? Use alligator clips to hold the curls/shape in and unpin when the hair is cool.
Protect it overnight. Sleep in a loose braid or on a satin pillowcase to help your hair stay smooth until the next morning.
