Dyson’s New Hair Straightener Uses Hot Air Instead of Metal Plates

Dyson step outside its comfort zona for its third fuzz - styling ware in theCorrale : a $ 500 cordless flat ironthat uses flexible plate to greatly contract the risk of high temperature damage to whisker . With the Dyson Airstrait , the company ’s created another hairsbreadth straighten gimmick that takes advantage of what it does best : moving air travel around at eminent speeds .

The Corrale ’s innovative compromising plates allowed the straightener to better gather hair and more evenly apply heat energy and tautness , which allow it to operate at much low temperature than a traditional flat iron does . Less hotness imply less price over time .

The new Dyson Airstrait still look like a traditional insipid smoothing iron , with a figure that clamps onto hair’s-breadth as it ’s pull back through . But instead of the clinch itself heating up , the Airstrait has vent along both edges that blast a “ precisely angled high - pressure blade of air ” down and into the hair — drying and neaten it all in one pass .

The Airstait is power by one of Dyson ’s Hyperdymium motors , which has a 13 - blade impeller that spins at up to 106,000 RPM . Just 27 - millimeters in sizing , the motor ’s small enough to agree into the Airstrait ’s handle . Also buried aside inside the straightener are “ glass bead thermistors ” that “ measure the temperature of the airflow up to 30 times per second ” to ensure the temperature of the air blade does n’t get hot than what the user has choose .

The Dyson Airstrait extend two styling modes : a cockeyed whisker modality with three temperature configurations that go as red-hot as 285 ° F , and a dry tomentum mode with two configurations that top out at the same temperature . There ’s also a cool mode that can be used to quickly cool down down straightened hair and lock in the manner , as well as two different speed configurations to select from .

The Dyson Airstrait is currently useable throughDyson ’s websiteand is priced exactly the same as the Dyson Corrale straightener at $ 500 . However , while the Corrale offers cordless functionality , because of its size and the sinewy galvanizing motor it utilise , the Airstrait is instead a cord supplement and requires a powerfulness sales outlet .
