Sea Salt Spray: The Ocean’s Secret to Texture, Volume, and Natural Waves
There is a feeling in your hair after a day by the sea that is difficult to recreate. Textured, voluminous, naturally wavy – without having done anything. That is exactly what a good sea salt spray should provide. Read our guide to the best shampoo bar to find the right cleanser that does not remove the texturizing effect.
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 is perfect for heatless curls and natural waves.
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 afterward – read about leave-in conditioner to prevent dryness. If you have frizzy hair, you should use a small amount.
How to use sea salt spray correctly
Spray into damp or partially dry hair and scrunch it in with your hands. Air-dry or diffuse on low heat for the best results. Finish with a few drops of hair oil for shine without losing the texture.
Protect your hair after styling
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.
The Editor's Note: Sea salt spray is styling in its most stripped-back form. No tools, no heat, no complicated techniques. Just salt, water, and your hair's natural movement.
