Yep, with brands like Dyson and ghd and Babyliss ditching the wires, we're starting to see other brands follow suit - meaning it's only a matter of time before cord-free styling becomes the norm.īut what's so great about losing the wires and investing in a cordless hair straightener? Well, for starters, you can style your hair anywhere (yep, anywhere), from the back of an Uber to your best mate's balcony. So what's the latest innovation? Cordless hair straighteners. Thankfully, hair tools have come a long way since then, and nowadays they have all kinds of fancy tech built in. It’s officially our handbag hair styling hero.I've been using hair straighteners since I was about 13-years-old (when I convinced my mum to buy me a somewhat clunky pair of Toni & Guys from our local Superdrug).
While it might offer slightly less styling time per charge, it delivers the same trusty ghd sleek-ness (and technology) you’d expect from a corded pair, which means you’ll never need to compromise on your look, wherever your day takes you. Costing £100 less, it’s more compact and lightweight than Dyson’s offering, meaning it can be easily carried around all day and we love the fact it can be charged almost anywhere. However, when it comes to portability and price, ghd’s unplugged is hands down our top choice. If your hair is particularly thick or you’re on the hunt for a cord-free tool that will be mostly used from the comfort of your home, the corrale is a great option. Making the choice between these tools comes down to two things: budget and how you plan on using them. The verdict: ghd unplugged vs Dyson corrale The one down side? Because unplugged has been designed to use while you’re out and about, or in addition to your corded styler at home, it cannot be used while charging.

We tested it for curling too and found that in just eight minutes we achieved a full head of effortless waves, with the lack of cord allowing us to twist the tool with ease. Despite being smaller in size, straightening took just four minutes and left our hair feeling shinier and looking sleek.

The travel-sized straightener is airport security safe too, meaning that when you’re finally able to jet-set again, you can pop them in your hand luggage without a worry. The tool also has some great safety features, including a slide switch to turn it on instead of a button, which prevents it from being accidentally turned on while in your bag, and a sleep mode, which automatically shuts the straightener off after three minutes of non-use. The styler also has a smart battery level indicator, so you can keep track of the charge as you use it and the ceramic plates feature the same dual-zone technology as ghd’s corded straighteners, meaning a consistent optimum styling temperature of 185C is maintained for healthy-looking results.
In terms of performance, the straightener takes two hours to fully charge, just 45 seconds to heat up – it makes a noise to let you know when it’s ready to use – and offers up to 20 minutes of continuous styling. Designed specifically for on the go styling, the tool is lightweight –300g to be exact – small enough to slip inside a handbag – it’s 22cm long – and can charged using a USB-C cable via a plug, laptop or even in your car. Whether you have a meeting after a lunchtime gym session or you’re going for drinks straight from work, ghd’s unplugged allows you to style your hair quickly and easily with no strings attached – literally.
