Frequently asked questions
Unlike conventional straighteners that use solid or floating plates, the Dyson Corrale™ hair straightener is a hair straightener that uses flexing copper plates to shape and gather hair, enabling enhanced styling with less heat. Floating plates have springs which allow the plate holders to tilt while styling, but the plates themselves do not have any capability to move or bend. The plates of the Dyson Corrale™ hair straightener are flexing themselves to adapt to the shape of your hair when styling. This enables you to achieve the same style but with half the damage¹, reduced frizz and fewer flyaways². Furthermore, the Corrale™ is a cord-free hair straightener which makes it versatile to use anywhere, anytime.

Prep hair: Before styling, ensure hair is detangled and completely dry. For best results, section hair.
Temperature: We recommend you start at the lowest temperature (165◦C) and increase it if necessary depending on your hair type and texture.
Loosen grip: Because the flexing plates shape to gather your hair, you can loosen your grip when styling, letting the machine do the work for you.
Styling speed: Flexing plates allow you to style hair in one, slow pass vs. multiple quick passes. To slow down your movements, try using one second per inch as a baseline. Speed of use may vary by hair type.
Section size: The perfect hair section size will depend on your hair type. Try a few different section sizes and see what works best for you. If you have coarse hair, begin with a smaller section. If you have fine hair, try larger sections for a smoother glide.
Position of hair in the machine: To maximize the benefits of the flexing plates, ensure your hair section is in the middle of the plates when styling.
Styling your ends: For a smooth glide, try styling the roots and mid-lengths of hair first, and style the ends last so you can take larger sections of hair. This allows the flexing plates to fully gather the section of hair.
Styling products: Finish with your favorite styling products.

The Dyson Corrale™ hair straightener has three temperature settings: 165°C, 185°C, 210°C. The optimum temperature for styling will depend on your hair type and the style you want to achieve. Extreme heat damage increases with the level of temperature you apply to your hair. We therefore recommend that you start at the lowest temperature and increase it if necessary.

There are two easy ways to increase run time:
1. Remember to place the hair straightener in the charging dock whenever it’s not being used. This may in between styling hair sections. These regular boosts will increase the battery and therefore run time.
2. Should you need longer, simply attach the magnetic charging cable to style in hybrid charge mode. We recommend doing this when you hear the first battery alert or before. For the longest run time, attach the magnetic charging cable when fully charged.

Your preference between the two will depend on whether you like to start from wet or dry hair, the looks you’re trying to achieve and how confident you are or would like to be in using a straightener to curl your hair.
