Dreame Hair Glamour — Hair Care Appliance

A 2-in-1 straightener that fits in your bag The Dreame Hair Glamour is a cordless 2-in-1 straightener designed for touch-ups away from home. Weighing 300 g and running on a built-in lithium battery, it is easy to take to the office, on holiday or to the gym. It is not meant to replace a mains-powered tool for long styling sessions; its job is to tame a stray section or a fringe during the day.

Three heat settings and tourmaline plates There are three temperatures to choose from: 165, 180 and 210°C. The ceramic and tourmaline plates, paired with a negative ion generator, aim for a smooth glide and evenly distributed heat. Heat-up is described as fast, which is exactly what you want from a quick-fix tool. Start on the lowest setting if your hair is fine or damaged.

Keep the battery life in perspective The battery lasts around 25 minutes at 165°C. That figure is quoted at the gentlest setting, so at 180 or 210°C you may get less. For on-the-go use it is enough for several touch-ups, as long as you remember to recharge it regularly. The average buyer rating is also on the modest side, so it is worth being clear about what you expect from it before buying.
