Are portable styling tools worth the hype? After testing the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener, we can reveal our professional opinion.

The Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener is your ally against summer’s humidity, back-to-back parties and at-a-moment’s-notice events.

If you’ve been trying to wrap your head around the prospect of portable hair straightening, have we got good news for you. We can confirm that the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener is your ally against summer’s humidity, back-to-back parties and at-a-moment’s-notice events. It’s a highly capable tool that provides smooth, shiny results and also maintains your hair’s health through the use of less heat — all with the versatility of cordless styling you can rely on wherever you’re at.  

Enhanced styling is achieved at a lower temperature with the help of the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener’s manganese copper alloy plates, which gather your hair and flex around it, so you can control the tool without excessive pressure. Just what you need when time is of the essence, the plates do most of the work for you, applying heat and tension to your strands and keeping them perfectly aligned. All this means your favourite styles are easily created with less damage — a must in summer when as well as the usual aggressors, your tresses are subjected to sun and salt water.

For a smooth, sleek look, choose from three heat settings (165°C, 185°C and 210°C) to suit your hair type and desired style. Each is controlled by an intelligent thermal system that measures and regulates the temperature of the plates 100 times per second.

And it’s not just poker-straight styles that the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener is good for. The tool’s curved body is engineered to support curl structure, so it turns out what happens on holiday needn’t stay on holiday — with this cordless styler, you can quickly create beach-worthy textured waves for a tousled off-duty effect at the office, or channel a ’90s blow-out vibe by creating gentle bends with movement at the ends.

If, like us, you struggle with appliance anxiety and are forever double-checking before you leave the house to make sure you haven’t left your styling tools on, the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener lets you take it easy by conveniently switching off after 10 minutes of inactivity. And when you’re in a rush, you can make every minute count, then immediately stow it in its heat-resistant travel pouch with safety lock to secure the plates. 

For jet-setters, the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener has a flight-ready feature that disconnects the battery to meet international aviation regulations (of course, you’ll want to check with your airline ahead of your flight to be sure) and universal voltage to allow for charging in different countries*. 

Powered by a four-cell lithium-ion battery, the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener provides the same thermal performance of a corded product, plus, you can plug it in at home to use it as part of your everyday routine, before unplugging it to transport it. Offering up to 30 minutes** of styling time, it lets you kiss the need for an at-home styling tool and a smaller (often less-effective) travel version goodbye.

It being our job to look put together while flitting from function to function, you can take it from us: the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener really does ensure beautiful hair anytime, anywhere.

*Stricter regulations in Japan mean you will not be able to fly in or out of any Japanese airport with your straightener.

Top technique tips

To use the Dyson Corrale™ cordless straightener, simply section your hair, glide the tool through to the ends with slow, even strokes, then repeat. Thanks to the flexing plates, there’s no need to apply excessive pressure or searing heat to get results.

The size of your sections will depend on your hair type. For thick, coarse or curly hair, smaller sections may be best; thinner hair may be more easily tamed with larger sections. Along your hairline, reduce the straightener’s temperature and use it on an angle, so you can get closer to your roots.
