Which Dyson hair straightener is right for you: Dyson Corrale™ or Dyson Airstrait™

If you want to use hotplates that don’t use extreme heat, then the cordless Dyson Corrale™ is right for you as its flexi-plates prevent you needing to raise the temperature on your dry hair. 

But if you want to forego hotplates entirely, then you want the corded Dyson Airstrait™ which uses airflow to dry and style your wet hair.

Now we understand the basics, let’s look at these options in more detail. 

The Dyson Airstrait™ excels at natural, voluminous straight hair and styles while drying using heated air instead of hot metal plates. Because the hair is blown dry instead of flattened by plates, your hair preserves its natural body. This is ideal for anyone going for that effortlessly beautiful, natural look. 

It does all this while preventing heat damage¹  Because it doesn’t use extreme heat or make direct contact with your hair, helps prevent damage that otherwise could occur with high temperatures.   

The Dyson Airstrait™ is designed to be used on wet hair, to dry and straighten simultaneously. This combines two separate tasks into one, saving you time and effort. Being able to set a style from wet gives you a shiny finish because it protects your hair’s internal structure. 

Cold mode blows cold air onto your finished style. This causes the hydrogen bonds in your hair to stick in place, helping retain your style for longer. This is especially important for those with Type 2, 3 or 4 hair which can visibly fall out of the straightened style over time. 

The Dyson Airstrait™ is ideal for anyone who wants to consistently straighten their hair without losing its natural body. It maintains your hair’s natural volume and avoids heat damage, using airflow.¹ It’s also a time saver, as you can straighten directly from wet, making it ideal for those with places to be. 

The Dyson Corrale™ is designed to craft a classic straight style, thanks to its flexible copper plates that shape around your hair to collect all your strands, so you get that sleek, smooth, straight style without the risk of flyaways or missed edges. Because the machine provides you with more control than the average solid plate hair straightener, it doesn’t have to use as much heat to give you the look you want. 

This Dyson straightener can also be used to create a wide range of wavy and curly hairstyles, giving it more versatility.

The Dyson Corrale™ is a cordless straightener, meaning you don’t have to worry about cable positioning as you straighten your hair. 

Plus, it’s completely portable thanks to its cordless design and internal, chargeable battery which uses universal voltage, meaning it can be charged in any country. Wherever you are², you never have to go without your Dyson Corrale™ or your classic straight hair.  

Because the Dyson Corrale™ doesn’t use air, it doesn’t feature extraneous elements that need cleaning, like a filter cage. It simply needs the plates wiping down and cleaning. This simple process is quick and easy, meaning you can spend less time on machine maintenance and more time on hair styling.  

The Dyson Corrale™ excels as a cordless versatile straightener that gives you enhanced control and allows you to adopt multiple styles while using less heat than regular plate straighteners. It is portable thanks to its chargeable battery and can be used in any country thanks to its universal voltage. Coupled with its easy to clean body, this straightener is perfect for anyone who likes to experiment with a variety of styles and constantly on the go. 

These machines aren’t just defined by their differences, but by their shared qualities too. After all, they’re both Dyson hair straighteners and have a shared adherence to quality and innovation. They both feature OLED screens for accessibility, have been designed to work on all hair types and feature auto-shutoffs for safety. Dyson’s pioneering engineering means they both excel.
