Dyson Corrale vs ghd Platinum+ hair straighteners - Which?

How does the Dyson Corrale straightener stack up against the ghd Platinum+? We got five volunteers with hair types ranging from straight to afro to try them out. Despite the Dyson's extra features (including 30 minutes cordless battery power) and its hefty £400 price tag, the ghds came out on top overall, proving they're still the market leaders in hair straightening technology.

Excellent review! Thank you. I had the GHD for several years and loved it but it greatly damaged my hair. It was lost in the move. So now I’m lost on what to repurchase! Thought Dyson could possibly be less damaging. Hmmmm🤔 Arghh 😩😩😩

Omg! I would like to thank you so much for this short and on point review. Sincerely in the name of all Men.
I had to watch to many "bla bla bla" 30+ min videos from other creators on my way here...

I wish I had watched this before buying the Dyson, it’s heavy and leaves my hair static, it doesn’t stay straight. It’s not shiny. GHD is way better and I’ve just purchased an upgrade because I’ve had my others for over 10 years which reminds me a pair of my Dyson straighteners broke and I had to get replacement warranty
