How to get started
Your Dyson Corrale™ straightener is engineered to be easy to use. To get started, charge your straightener to 100% and 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 the packaging from the Flight-ready tag that is tethered to your machine. It can now be inserted to enable your straightener's controls.
-
3. Fully charge your straightener before using
To maximize cordless run time, always fully charge your straightener before using it. The battery charging LED located on the lower part of the machine will be amber while charging and turn green when fully charged.
-
4. Turn your straightener on
Press and hold the Power button until a battery icon appears on the screen. If you see an error message, charge your straightener to 100% then turn on, off and on again to reset.
-
5. Choose your temperature
Use the + or - button to select your desired styling temperature. You will hear a chime when Corrale reaches your desired temperature. As the flexing plates enable enhanced styling with less heat for half the damage¹, we recommend you try the lowest setting of 330°F first. If you feel you need more heat for your hair type, length or desired style, you can increase the temperature to 365°F or 410°F.
-
6. Prepare your hair for styling
Before styling, ensure hair is detangled and completely dry. For best results, section hair. The perfect tress size will depend on your hair type. Try a few different section sizes and see what works best for you. If you have coarse hair, begin with a smaller section. If you have fine hair, try larger sections for a smoother glide.

Useful tips
-
Maximize run time with Charging dock
Place your Dyson Corrale™ straightener in the dock when not in use and in between sections to extend run time. Always begin with 100% charge before styling.
-
Understanding the sounds
Your straightener make a range of sounds to prompt you to take an action, or to alert you. Chimes indicate your machine is heating up, chosen temperature reached, low battery, empty battery, charging, idle mode and service alerts. Watch video to understand what each sounds means.
-
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.
-
Weight in-hand
The Dyson Corrale™ straightener may seem heavier when you first pick it up because it is engineered to be balanced in the hand. This provides maximum control while using to deliver enhanced styling performance. It is also packed with advanced 4-cell lithium-ion battery technology to give you maximum styling time and the thermal performance of a corded straightener, all without the cord.
-
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.
-
Flying with Corrale
Before flying with Corrale, place the machine in flight ready mode by disconnecting the flight ready tab. This will disarm the battery.

Six tips to help maximize run time
- For maximum run time, start styling from full charge.
- Place in the dock between passes, to help boost charge.
- Try slow, even passes for more battery-efficient styling.
- If your battery is running low, connect the cable while styling for use in Hybrid charge mode.
- For longer styling sessions use Hybrid charge mode. Start from fully-charged and keep the cable connected.
- 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.

Flying with your straightener
Your straightener cannot be checked. Please check your airline's guidelines as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) websites for your local regulations regarding travel with lithium ion battery powered devices.* 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.
