If you have ever used Dyson for your hair, you will know that the British technology brand gets it right quite often -- what with the powerful Supersonic Hairdryer and impressive Airwrap before it. Well, they've gone and done it again; this time with a hair straightener. The Dyson Corrale is their third and newest hair styling tool released and it's already creating waves by being the world's first hair straightener to use flexing plate technology. What this translates to is smooth, straight hair and a glossy finish with less heat, which in the long term, means less damage on your beautiful locks. Oh and did we mention it's cord-free too?

[inline-quote author="Sir James Dyson, Founder and Engineer of Dyson"]"This means that we get an enhanced style and without excessive heat damage. We simply do not need the heat that others apply. "[/inline-quote]

A Cut Above the Rest

Dyson claims that a conventional flat plate straightener can only apply heat and tension to the thickest parts of your hair, which leads to neglected flyaway locks. Excessive application can also result in hair damage. Where the Dyson Corrale steps up to the plate is its unique technology that took seven years to create. Flexing plates adapt to the hair's shape, moulding to contours and preventing strands from straying. Ultimately, the user is given better control over styling results and straightening the hair is less reliant on heat.

As with Dyson's existing hot tools, the Corrale has advanced heat control. A platinum sensor measures temperature at 100 times per second, so that the heating system is kept in check to maintain consistent, precise and accurate heat. Pick from three heat settings: 165 degrees, 185 degrees, and 210 degrees. These lower heat settings, coupled with the powerful adaptable plates, enable you to style your hair at lower temperatures.

And perhaps the handiest trait of all: The straightener is cord-free. It shares the same four-cell lithium-ion battery technology as its reputable vacuum cleaners, so you can style your hair anywhere, anytime. Impressively, it even has a flight mode feature so you're free to take it out as you jet from one country to another. It also boasts up to 3o minutes of battery life, and fully recharges in 70 minutes.

The Dyson Corrale will launch in Hong Kong May 2020. No news on a confirmed retail price just yet, but it is likely to be priced around the US$499 mark.

The "Good Class Bungalow", which faces the iconic Botanic Gardens, was listed by the seller for S$45 million.

There must be some serious money in vacuum cleaners and hair dryers because Sir James Dyson, founder of one the world’s most well-known eponymous brands, just spent a jaw-dropping US$54.2 million (approx. HK$423.5 million) on a massive penthouse in one of Singapore’s tallest buildings.

And if that’s not enough to make you gasp, here’s another nugget: The British billionaire actually saved a huge amount of money in the deal, since the apartment was listed for almost twice the amount at US$80 million (approx. HK$625 million) -- said to be the most expensive in Singapore. What's more, since Dyson has permanent residence status there, he is not required to pay the high property taxes that most other foreigners purchasing property in Singapore would have needed to.

‘Most expensive’ is, however, not the penthouse’s only claim to fame; it is also the highest. Set within the exclusively luxurious Wallich Residence, which occupies the 39th to 64th floors of the sky-high Guoco Tower, the three-storey apartment is spread across the top 62nd to 64th floors. Sitting at almost 1,000 feet above sea level, it offers breathtaking views over the city’s vast skyline and the glittering blue waters of Marina Bay.

Inside the expansive, 21,100-square-foot penthouse are five lavishly appointed bedrooms, six bathrooms, three half-baths, a pool, sky deck, Jacuzzi and a barbecue pit. And as if that weren’t enough, there’s even a 600-bottle wine cellar.

The exquisite marble flooring adds a touch of refined opulence. But it’s the floor-to-ceiling windows, in almost every room in the triplex apartment, that truly catch one’s attention as they present a sense of unadulterated openness, not only to the city below but also the skies above. One can only imagine the shimmering beauty of millions of stars at night as seen from such a vantage point.

While the stupendous sum for the apartment may seem exorbitant for some, for Dyson it's certainly manageable. After all, his net worth currently stands at US$12.6 billion (approx. HK$98.4 billion), as per the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, making him the 109th richest person on the planet. In 2018, after his company took in revenues of an astounding $1.4 billion (HK$11 billion), he was named the richest person in Britain, too. Which brings the famous phrase to mind: "If you have it, spend it!"
