The Dyson Corrale is a straightener you can use with or without the cord. Its plates are made of flexible manganese copper alloy that bends to wrap around a section of hair, so strands are held together instead of escaping at the edges. Dyson says this lets it style at lower heat.
Short verdict: worth a look if you want cordless styling with three heat settings and you’re willing to pay for it. If you style a full head of thick hair daily and never travel, a corded iron is simpler and costs less.
Pros
- Cordless with corded thermal performance
- Flexing plates reduce breakage and frizz
- Intelligent heat control keeps temperature stable
- Versatile styling options from sleek to curls
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery
Cons
- Battery life can be as short as 30 minutes
- No travel case included
