Unlike conventional straighteners that use solid plates, the Dyson Corrale straightener is the only straightener that uses flexing plates to shape and gather hair, enabling enhanced styling with less heat. This enables you to achieve the same style but with half the damage, reduced frizz and fewer flyaways. The Dyson Corrale straightener may feel different than a conventional straigthener when you first pick it up. The weight is balanced in the hand to give maximum control when styling, and allows you to loosen your grip to let the flexing plates do the work for you.
