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 by the sea, without heat or complicated styling. Spray it onto damp hair, scrunch it in with your hands and let it air-dry for wavy, defined hair with movement.
There’s a feeling your hair gets after a day by the sea that’s hard to recreate. Textured, voluminous, naturally wavy, without having done anything. That’s exactly what a good sea salt spray should give you.
What does sea salt spray do?
Salt water opens the hair cuticle, creating natural texture and volume. 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 for?
Sea salt spray is best suited to normal to thick hair that needs more texture and movement. For dry or damaged hair, combine it with a moisturizing product. Read about leave-in conditioner to help prevent dryness. Want even more moisture and shine? Add a leave-in spray. If you have frizzy hair, use it sparingly.
Salt can dry out your hair over time. Add a hair mask to your routine once a week and protect your lengths overnight with a silk pillowcase. Sea salt spray works best when your hair is already balanced.
