Dyson has long been synonymous with cutting-edge innovation in the beauty industry. The Dyson Corrale, in particular, is unlike any conventional straightener—cordless and rechargeable, it offers the ultimate convenience and flexibility for styling on the go. But what truly sets it apart is its unique flexing plates made of copper. “Unlike conventional straighteners that use solid plates, the Dyson Corrale uses flexing plates to shape and gather hair, enabling styling with less heat. This allows you to achieve the same style but with half the damage, reduced frizz and fewer flyaways,” Dyson senior reliability engineer Kate Craft tells Vogue.
While the Supersonic and Airwrap have maintained their popularity since their original launches in 2016 and 2018 respectively, I’d argue the Corrale is a highly underrated tool in the Dyson hair tool lineup. The ability to style hair without being tethered to an outlet is ideal for everyday use, plus the device’s universal voltage makes it ideal for frequent travelers. What’s more, the beveled-edge design of this straightener allows for looks beyond just pin-straight hair—you can also create curls, waves, or flipped ends. “A beveled straightener adds maneuverability and diversity to your daily at-home styling routine. The rounded edges also aid in maintaining a sleek and professional look while also adding volume,” pro hair stylist Samantha Draper tells Vogue.
Whether you’re looking for a polished, straight style or loose waves, this straightener’s versatility makes it an ideal choice for various hair textures and styles. A quick look at its specs, below:

About the Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener
The Dyson Corrale comes with a premium price tag, but for good reason—this isn’t your average plug-in straightener, it’s innovative and high-tech. The cord-free design allows for unrestricted styling, with 30-minutes of untethered styling (and a full recharge in 70 minutes.) This device’s automatic shut-off feature, which kicks in after 10 minutes of inactivity, is another highlight of the design.
The small digital screen displays battery life and three precise heat settings (330 degrees Fahrenheit, 365 degrees Fahrenheit, and 410 degrees Fahrenheit). For those who live in fear of frying their hair with excessive heat, this device’s flexing plate technology ensures optimal results with minimal damage. While other devices on the market may boast flexible plates, Craft is confident the Corrale exceeds them in innovation.
“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.
“Thanks to the rounded edges of straightener, you can achieve a plethora of styling options with just one hair tool, from Versace-inspired sleek straight looks, to beachy waves, mod ’60s flipped out ends, ’90s supermodel bobs, or a classic smooth curl. Any of these styles can also lend a hand to prepping for an up-do style—think: slick back bun, half-up pony, or formal up-do,” says Draper. For flipped ends or curls, rotate the device 45 degrees as you straighten each section.
Is the Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener Travel Friendly?
The Dyson Corrale is the epitome of portability. Not only is it cord-free, but it’s also travel-friendly, featuring universal voltage. This means you can recharge your Dyson Corrale from anywhere in the world—a feature that was a common pain point for Dyson Airwrap loyalists. Much like a smartphone, you simply need to switch your straightener to airplane mode to travel with it in your carry-on, as it operates on a lithium battery.
Is the Dyson Corrale Styler Straightener Worth It?
Yes, the price tag is steep, but the payoff—cordless freedom, easily-achieved, salon-worthy results, universal voltage, and intelligent heat control—is undeniable. I’ve forgotten about all the other styling tools in my beauty drawer, instead opting for a quick rough dry and daily pass of my Corrale to perfect my mod hair flips without worry about causing heat damage.
