First, you're not dragging the iron over your hair as much. That reduces the mechanical damage you're exposing your tresses to and also helps with heat for a couple of reasons. This lets the manganese-copper alloy plates flex without breaking, according to Dyson.īecause the Corrale is more consistent during each pass, you won't have re-do sections of your hair to achieve the same sleekness as you would with a typical straightener. As the company's founder Sir James Dyson told Engadget, "Every 2 or 3 millimeters there's a slice across the plate that allows them to flex." Each plate is extremely thin, too, at just 65 microns - about the width of a strand of human hair. With the new flexing plates, the Corrale applies the same amount of pressure to all your hair with a normal grip. Or, if you want to keep them in the iron's clasp, you'll have to clench your fist tightly. That means the strands that are close to your hand are gripped more tightly, while those furthest away tend to fall out. On a regular straightening iron, because you're controlling the device from one end, you aren't able to apply the same pressure evenly across the head. The key component that makes the Corrale stand out is its plates. I was intrigued - this means I might be able to get the same control over my hair at about 410 degrees instead of 440. "We discovered some interesting things which help us adjust the heat so we can go 20 to 40 degrees lower with 50 percent less damage, and get the same exact look," Reyman told Engadget. With repeated use of a straightener, your hair is subject to repeated heat and mechanical damage, which can compromise it over time. The damage I am doing to my precious tresses over time keeps me up at night, and as much as I'd like to embrace my natural 'do, sometimes it's just not practical.Īccording to Dyson's global ambassador Jon Reyman, there are several ways in which your hair can be damaged: UV rays from sun exposure, chemicals like dyes and relaxers, heat from implements and hair dryers as well as mechanical acts of brushing or gripping. To get a sleek look, I have to set my iron as high as 437 degrees and go over sections of my hair about four or five times. My hair is coarse and puffy, and I have a ton of it. As someone who straightens their hair pretty much every day, I have plenty of frustrations with today's options.
