Sea Salt Spray: The Ocean’s Secret to Texture, Volume, and Natural Waves
Sea salt spray recreates the hair’s natural texture and volume after a day at the beach, without heat or complicated styling. Spray onto damp hair, scrunch with your hands and air-dry for wavy, defined hair with movement.
There’s a feeling in your hair after a day at the beach that’s difficult to recreate. Textured, voluminous, naturally wavy, without having done anything. That’s exactly what a good sea salt spray should provide.
What does sea salt spray do?
Salt water opens the hair cuticle and creates natural texture and volume. A sea salt spray mimics this effect without you needing to be by the sea. It’s perfect for heatless curls and natural waves. Read our guide to the best shampoo bar to find the right cleanser that won’t remove the texturizing effect.
Who is sea salt spray suitable for?
Sea salt spray is best suited to normal to thick hair that wants more texture and movement. For dry or damaged hair, you should combine it with a moisturizing product. Read about leave-in conditioner to help prevent dryness. If you want even more moisture and shine, you can complement it with a leave-in spray. If you have frizzy hair, you should use a small amount.
Salt can dry out your hair over time. Complement your routine with a hair mask once a week and protect your lengths overnight with a silk pillowcase. Sea salt spray works best when your hair is already balanced.
