How to get started
Your Dyson Corrale™ straightener is engineered to be easy to use. To get started, watch our video guide or follow the steps below.
-
-
1. Unlock your straightener
Simply slide up the Lock button on the front of your straightener to open it.
-
2. Insert the Flight-ready tag
Remove all packaging from the Flight-ready tag. It can now be inserted to enable your straightener’s controls. Your tag is tethered to your machine.
-
3. Fully charge your straightener
To maximise cordless run time, always fully charge your straightener before using it. While charging is in progress, an amber light is displayed. This light becomes green once fully charged.
-
4. Prepare your hair for styling
Your hair should be dry before you style. To get the best results, make sure it's also tangle-free.
-
5. Turn your straightener on
Press and hold the Power button until a battery icon appears on the screen.
-
6. Choose your temperature
The flexing plates enable enhanced styling with less heat for half the damage¹, so we recommend you try the lowest setting of 165°C first. If you feel you need more heat for your hair type, length or desired style, you can increase the temperature to 185°C or 210°C.
¹Thermal damage measured by hair strength, when creating an equivalent hair style. Tested on Corrale with flexing plates vs Corrale with solid plates.

Six tips to help maximise run time
1. For maximum run time, start styling from full charge.
2. Place in the dock between passes, to help boost charge.
3. Try slow, even passes for more battery-efficient styling.
4. If your battery is running low, connect the cable while styling for use in Hybrid charge mode.
5. For longer styling sessions use Hybrid charge mode. Start from fully-charged and keep the cable connected.
6. Once finished, connect the cable or place on the dock to charge – ready for your next styling session. -
-
Hybrid charge mode explained
In Hybrid charge mode, your straightener adapts its power source. While heating up and styling your hair, it draws power from the battery and cable. Between passes, when the plates aren’t touching your hair, the cable charges the battery to help give you a longer run time. We recommend you fully charge between uses, so you’re always ready for your next style.
-
Engineered for balance in the hand
The Dyson Corrale™ straightener may seem heavier when you first pick it up. That’s because it is packed with advanced 4-cell lithium-ion battery technology, giving you maximum styling time and the thermal performance of a corded straightener. The battery’s placement is engineered to help provide balance in the hand. This helps give you maximum control while styling – without the cord.

Flying with your straightener
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations state that cordless straighteners can only be carried on an aircraft if the heaters are isolated from the battery. To meet these regulations, your Dyson Corrale™ straightener has been designed with a Flight-ready tag that disconnects the battery. You need to remove the tag before airport security and leave it disconnected throughout the flight.
You can find a step-by-step guide to flying with your straightener below.
How to fly with your straightener
Airline approval is required if you're travelling with a battery-powered heat-producing product. Cordless straighteners are in this category, so we recommend contacting your airline before you travel. Explain that your straightener has a Flight-ready feature which isolates the heaters from the battery, to meet ICAO regulations. If you lose your Flight-ready tag, please call 0800 298 0298. To use it, follow these six simple steps:
-
1. Before packing your straightener, unlock it and remove the Flight-ready tag.
-
2. Press the Power button and check an aeroplane icon appears on the screen.
-
3. Close and lock your straightener, then place it in its Heat-resistant travel pouch.
-
4. Slide the Flight-ready tag into its protector to keep it safe.
-
5. Store in your hand luggage, not hold luggage.
-
6. Leave the Flight-ready tag disconnected throughout the flight.
Flight-ready tag lost or removed
Our Flight-ready tag allows you to use your straightener, while meeting airline regulations. If you have removed or lost your tag, please find help here.
Useful tips
-
Assembling the charging dock
Simply push the two parts of the dock together until they click securely in place. Then connect the Magnetic 360° charging cable to the base.
-
Automatically turns off for peace of mind
If your straightener is left unattended with the power on for longer than five minutes, it goes into Sleep mode and the flexing plates start to cool down. After a further five minutes, your straightener turns off completely.
-
Styling with the cable attached
If you need to style for longer, you can use your straightener with the cable attached in hybrid charge mode. This will extend the run time but you'll still need to fully charge between uses, as you'll still be using battery power when styling.
-
Understanding the sounds
Your straightener makes a range of sounds to prompt you to take an action, or to alert you. You can find out more about the sounds in our video guide.
-
Turning off the prompt sounds
You can mute the prompt sounds by pressing and holding the Power and Temperature (–) buttons for more than five seconds. For your safety, you can't mute the sounds for Sleep mode or alerts.
-
Changing the temperature units
You can view your straightener's temperature in Centigrade or Fahrenheit. Simply press and hold the Power and Temperature (+) buttons for more than five seconds to switch between the two.
-
Maintaining your straightener
We recommend regularly cleaning your straightener's plates to remove hair product residue. This keeps them working at their best. First, turn off your straightener and allow the plates to cool down. Then, rub them gently with a damp, lint-free cloth.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fly with this straightener, even though it's battery operated?The Dyson Corrale™ straightener has a Flight-ready feature that disconnects the battery, designed to adhere to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations. Airline approval is required in advance if you're travelling with a battery-powered heat-producing product, so we recommend contacting them before you travel to let them know. Then you'll need to remove the Flight-ready tag from your straightener before airport security and leave it disconnected throughout the flight. Please note that regulations in Japan mean you will not be able to fly in or out of any Japanese airports with your straightener.
Can I charge my straightener in different countries?Yes. Your straightener has universal voltage, so you can charge it in countries with different electrical voltages to the one in which you purchased it. You'll still need to check if you need a travel adaptor.
I just bought my straightener and can't get it to work. Why is this?If you haven't done it already, insert your Flight-ready tag into your straightener. This will activate your straightener's controls. You should also fully charge your straightener before using it. If you're still having trouble getting started, you can watch the video at the top of this page, contact a Dyson Expert using live chat or call 0800 298 0298.
How can I maximise the run time of my straightener?From full charge, your battery provides up to 30 minutes cord-free styling.1 A full charge takes just 70 minutes. To maximize run time, place your straightener on the charging dock when not in use and in between styling sections. We recommend always beginning with 100% charge for maximum run time. You can find further tips to get the most from your straightener throughout your support page.
Why does my straightener feel heavier than what I’m used to?It’s due to the advanced battery technology inside. Your straightener contains a powerful 4-cell lithium-ion battery that delivers the thermal performance of a corded straightener, cord-free. The battery placement has been engineered to provide balance in the hand, so even though there’s a little extra weight, you have maximum control while you style.
Will my straightener turn off if I accidentally leave it on?Yes. If your straightener is left unattended with the power on for longer than five minutes, the heated flexing plates will automatically start to cool down.

First, turn your straightener off and wait for the plates to cool. Then, gently rub the plates with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove any stubborn hair product residue.
Can I turn off the prompt sounds my straightener makes?Your straightener will make prompt sounds at times such as when it reaches your desired temperature and when it has low battery. You can mute the prompt sounds by pressing the Power and Temperature (–) buttons at the same time for more than five seconds. For your safety, you can't mute the sounds for Sleep mode or alerts. To turn the prompt sounds back on, press and hold the buttons again.
