Sexy, beachy waves a la the celebrities above are often harder to achieve than they look. Here to help is Lucky beauty editor Christina Mueller with a how-to video featuring the clipless curling iron. Clipless curling iron, you say? Why yes! If you’ve ever tried to wrap your hair around the barrel of a curling iron without using the clip, you understand how unweildy a regular iron can be. So a few companies like Butterfly Studio and Folica.com have come up with clipless irons to help us out.

Christina makes it look easy, and it wouldn’t take too much to try this at home. Good luck!
