“The unique flexing plates technology featured in the Dyson Corrale was developed to achieve the style you want but with a lower temperature. The flexing plates are designed to shape and gather hair, allowing for more precise straightening with less passes, resulting in half the damage,” Craft says. She adds, “Our flexing plates allow for precision machined to the width of a human hair with 15 micro-hinged segments on each plate. This means they can flex and adapt to hair, controlling it during styling. The straightener’s plates are made of a manganese copper alloy, chosen for its strength, flexibility and thermal conduction.”
My Experience With the Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener
Like many, I aspire to achieve a salon-quality, bouncy blowout from the comfort of my own home. Yet, time and time again, my attempts fall flat—until a recent trip to the salon, which introduced me to the Dyson Corrale Styler straightener. As I made my way to the stylist’s chair, I couldn’t help but notice the women around me—different hair types, colors, and textures—all sporting impeccably sleek, bouncy blowouts, their ends curled to near-perfection, as if following the law of Da Vinci’s golden ratio. The common denominator? A cordless straightener that passed through their hair effortlessly, leaving an almost supernatural smoothness behind. Post-shampoo, it was my turn. After a rough dry, my stylist picked up the Dyson Corrale, and within minutes, it transformed my short hair from Severus Snape-adjacent to ’90s Christy Turlington chic. “I absolutely need this hair tool,” I declared aloud for the whole salon to hear.
Just a few days later, I was already anxiously anticipating the delivery of my very own Corrale, only to rip open the box with the same unadulterated enthusiasm akin to child on Christmas morning.
Back when my hair was waist-length, the Dyson Airwrap was my tried-and-true favorite. However, since getting the big chop, I’ve found my hair to be too short to achieve the same bouncy blowout with it, as the Airwrap is best suited for medium to long lengths. Thanks to the beveled edges of the Corrale, a simple twist of the wrist can create soft waves and curl—minus the dreaded crease marks from a clamp-style curler. The cordless design is nothing short of a game-changer. No more detangling cords or stretching them to the nearest (never conveniently located) outlet—I could move freely, styling wherever the best lighting (or mirror) happened to be. Of course, there’s a trade-off: the battery lasts about 30 minutes, which, in girl math, equates to roughly two complete bob stylings before needing a recharge. While this might be a downside for those who don’t want yet another device to remember to charge, I don’t mind the extra step. Like a smartphone, I simply pop it onto the charger overnight, ensuring it’s powered up for the morning—though it reaches full charge in a little over an hour. Plus, as someone who’s chronically worried about leaving hair tools plugged in, the Corrale puts my intrusive thoughts at ease with its automatic shut-off feature. When I’m done styling, I pop my machine back into its chic velvety-looking heat resistant pouch for safe keeping—and voilà!
How To Use the Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener
Before using the Dyson Corrale, ensure it is fully charged and unlocked. Begin styling only on dry hair. Once dry, apply your preferred styling and heat-protectant products. Then, section your hair based on its thickness and length. Next, choose your desired temperature from the three available settings: 329 degrees Fahrenheit, 365 degrees Fahrenheit, or 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Of the styles you can create with this versatile straightener—the sky’s the limit. Dyson recommends the lowest temperature for finer hair types, the highest for thick or curly textures, and the middle setting for most hair types. Position the straightener close to the roots and glide it through to the ends for a sleek look.
