Birchbox Breakdown
We've been swooning over the tousled wave look ever since starlets like Blake Lively started making straight look boring. Unfortunately, our attempts to replicate their perfectly coiffed locks with a traditional curling iron simply left us with tight curls. Then Sedu®'s 25MM Clipless Iron came along: This curling wonder features a polished no-clamp barrel that creates smooth long-lasting waves without kinks. Now that our hair is Hollywood-ready, we just need to find a way to score a dreamy designer wardrobe.
How it Works
The 25MM (one-inch) polished clipless barrel is ideal for creating free-flowing waves without static or frizz. The adjustable temperature goes all the way up to 350°F and distributes heat evenly, allowing curls to last extra long. The iron also shuts off automatically after 30 minutes without use and comes with both a kickstand and a heat-resistant glove to save energy and prevent our precious hands and tabletops from burning. The 9-foot swivel cord is pretty fantastic, too.
How to Use
Set iron to the desired heat temperature and let stand for at least 25 seconds. While you wait, spritz hair with a heat-protective mist and separate into two sections, one upper and one lower, clipping the upper section out of the way. Next, slip on your heat-resistant glove, pick up the iron with the other hand, and wrap a one- to two-inch section of hair around the barrel, away from your face. Point the barrel down vertically while you do this. After holding hair in place for about 5-10 seconds, allow the curl to gently fall off the iron. Repeat steps for all sections and admire your new wavy locks.
