A hair product that features sea salt spray contains a formula that helps to give the hair more volume and texture. Besides that, it helps to absorb excess oil, leaving your hair with a matte finish. If you have wavy hair or wish to attain so, incorporating a sea salt spray into your hair routine will effectively enhance and create gorgeous waves. Plus, the salt crystals deliver a subtle glossy look on the hair and it is the perfect option for those who want to gain effortless beachy and messy hair.

How to Use a Sea Salt Spray?

It is definitely super easy to use a sea salt spray as you just need to spritz it to your hair. However, in order to maximize the benefits for visible results, follow these steps that we have listed down below:

  1. The main tip is that you need to have dampened hair before you use the sea salt spray. However, it is best to rock the style if you did not shampoo beforehand as it will strip the hair from its natural oil and affect the hair volume as well. If you still want to shampoo prior to the styling, you can opt for shampoo and conditioner that feature moisturizing properties. Plus, if you have naturally straight hair, opt for curl-enhancing shampoo. Most importantly avoid using any clarifying shampoo as it can lessen the hair volume and makes it less bouncy.
  2. Then, comb your hair to removes any tangled hair and ensure that the sea salt spray is evenly spread to the hair. You may choose to use a blow dryer or not depending on your preference.
  3. We’ve come to the fun part! Grab the sea salt spray and shake the product well so that the ingredient is properly mixed. Then spritz it to your hair by sections, in which you can start with the mid and top of the hair.
  4. Once you have spritz the sea salt spray, twist, crunch, and scrunch your hair to add more volume to it. Apart from this, you can also braid or leave your hair in the scrunchies the night before.
  5. The next step requires you to dry your hair and you can choose between two different options, whether to let it completely air dry by itself or you can use a blow dryer on a cool setting. Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel at all costs as it can ruin the texture and volume.
  6. Finish the routine with hairspray to ensure that the wavy and beachy hair lasts throughout the day. Although sea salt spray is known to help you maintain the hair look, hairspray is a secret product that prevents you from having to retouch it every hour.
