The best wireless hair plates: Dyson, GHD and Babyliss

Hair iron is one of the indispensable thermal accessories in a bag: along with a good dryer, it allows us to shape the hair to adapt it to different styles and moments.The latest are wireless models that, thanks to the incorporation of an internal battery, can be used without cable, and are ideal to carry in the displacements and give final touch -ups or perform the complete styling.

Wireless plates: models

On this occasion, we have chosen three models characterized by their high quality, so that they are able to guarantee hair care on the one hand and, on the other, a performance that is equated with the traditional hair plates with cable.

This is Babyliss 9000 (with an average score of 8.25 points), Dyson Corrale (9) and GHD Unplugged (8,25).

To assess them we have followed the same criteria as with the rest of the comparatives of plates that we have carried out in the country showcase, adding an additional category related to its battery:

To test them, we have used each of the plates in two different hair, always applying a thermal protector;In this case, these are hair of different length, thickness and hydration level.They have been used both to smoothed and to make waves and curls.

What is the best wireless hair plate

After 15 hours of testing, the best wireless hair iron has turned out to be the Dyson Corrale, due to its great ability to get a perfect finish with a single pass, also taking care of the hair, and to the possibility of using it plugged into the current when it ishas exhausted its autonomy.

We have to say, yes, that the rest of the comparison participants (GHD and Babyliss) have proven difficult opponents, with very well finished products and proper performance.

Dyson Corrale wireless iron: our choice

Available in three different colors (the initial black and pink color have joined the fuchsia mate and copper; the latter is the one we have been able to try), it is the size of traditional hair plates with cable and weighs a lot: something we blameto the materials used and to the internal battery that allows it to function wirelessly, and that is loaded at just over an hour offering 30 minutes of approximate autonomy.

When used for the first time, the experience is different, because the plates do not slide down the hair as easy as with ceramic, tourmaline or titanium models.And, in this case, the Dyson Corrale.That is, unlike the tilting plates that move in block, in this case there are areas that are more glued to the structure than others depending on where the strand of hair is placed.This makes it ‘grip’ with more force and some resistance is generated.The effect, in addition, is optimal: with a single pass it manages to leave the hair completely smooth, however curly it is.It makes it difficult, yes, making curls and waves, in which the fact that it slips easily makes it easier.

Data sheet

With three available temperature settings shown on your screen, informs at all times of the remaining battery (not in minutes, but in the form of a bar) and calculates the temperature of the plate 100 times every second, causing not exceeding what is establishedAnd don't damage hair.It can be used with cable and without cable and, to ensure that it is not accidentally started during the displacements, it has a small tab of ‘mode’ plane that leaves it inactive.

The best, the worst and conclusions

GHD UNPLUGGED, CABLES WITHOUT CABLES: THE ALTERNATIVE

It is a model specifically designed as a travel plate, so its dimensions are lower than the rest of GHD plates;Also its plates, made with dual-zone technology and ceramic heaters that monitor the temperature to provide a 185ºC hairstyle temperature at all times.That is, as usual in the firm, the temperature is not adjustable.In addition, its tilling ceramic plates have a high bright coating that facilitates the sliding for a soft hairstyle and 65% brighter hair.

Despite their size, the results are very similar to those we get with their ‘older sisters’, although we have found that some people will not have enough with their autonomy to comb the complete hair.And it has a very tight autonomy of about 20 minutes, and cannot be used plugged into the current.It is loaded with a USB type C cable, yes, so you can take advantage of any charger if we do not have the one included in the box or fill its battery in the car or from a laptop, for example.And to know how much is left, it has 5 LED lights that light up to inform the remaining autonomy.With a high -end finish of the firm, it is accompanied by a practical thermor resistant.

Babyliss 9000 cable plate: Best value for money

It is the most economical model of the selection.As for its functionalities, they are up to the competition.Thus, with the size of cable plates, it allows you to choose between three operating temperatures (160ºC, 180ºC and 200ºC).Its ceramic plates are tiltling and the rounded design of its exterior greatly facilitates the task of making waves and curls;In fact, it is the iron of the comparison that has given us better results in this aspect.As for the smoothing, it is adequate, although a bit below other options both in effectiveness in a single pass and in durability.

It works with an internal battery that is loaded in 3 hours to offer 30 minutes of approximate autonomy (it depends on the selected temperature).Incorporates an indicator that shows the load level.In fact, when you have it plugged into the current you can know if ‘almost’ is.In addition, its multi -voltage mode guarantees that it can be used throughout the world and the set of accessories that it brings its transportation greatly facilitates: a British load adapter that completes the European, a silicone case, a travel case, a resistant thermos...
