Dyson announced the global debut of the Corrale CoolShine hair straightener on Tuesday, introducing a styling tool that pairs flexible copper alloy plates with a cooling attachment to pull excess thermal energy directly away from hair strands. The device targets heat damage by actively reducing hair temperature immediately after styling passes, while boosting shine by 154% compared to untreated hair. Dyson confirmed that while the straightener is rolling out in select international markets first, the launch schedule and pricing for India will arrive closer to local availability.
Key Takeaways
- Dyson introduces the Corrale CoolShine straightener globally, with an India launch planned for a later date.
- The straightener uses a removable cooling attachment fitted with sealed copper pipes to draw heat away from hair during styling.
- Testing shows up to 29% less heat damage and 154% more shine compared to untreated hair.
- Four temperature settings span 145°C, 165°C, 185°C, and 210°C, with a 15-second rapid heat-up time.
- The tool weighs 200 grams, with the detachable cooling accessory adding 85 grams.
Active Cooling Mechanics and Flexing Plates
Standard hair straighteners rely on flat, rigid hot plates that squeeze hair sections unevenly. This design often forces users to run high heat over the same section multiple times to fix stray flyaways. The Corrale CoolShine addresses this issue by using flexible plates that bend slightly around each lock, gathering the bundle to keep uniform tension without excessive heat.
The main hardware addition is a detachable cooling attachment. Dyson borrowed thermal principles from its Solarcycle task light, applying copper heat-pipe methods to personal grooming. These sealed pipes contain a heat-transfer fluid that pulls excess thermal buildup away from the hair as the plates glide down. Lowering the hair temperature quickly sets the shape and cuts overall heat exposure, lowering styling damage by up to 29%.
Founder and chief engineer James Dyson stated that conventional hair straightening relies heavily on intense heat to force hair into shape. He noted that controlling heat, tension, and cooling immediately after each stroke allows users to get sleek results while shielding hair health.
Temperature Controls and Travel Specs
Users can pick between four fixed heat modes: 145°C, 165°C, 185°C, and 210°C. The lower thresholds help with quick touch-ups or fine hair textures, while the 210°C mode handles thick, coarse curls. The device reaches operating temperature in 15 seconds.
The main unit weighs 200 grams, while the snap-on cooler weighs 85 grams. Dyson also built universal voltage support into the tool, allowing Indian buyers who travel abroad to plug it in without power converters.
