Sea Salt Spray For Wind Swept Look

[Brooke]

Oh WOW.... I am on holiday and just noticed how sexy my hair is looking without much effort. After I have taken a dip in the ocean my hair is looking fabulous. My hair is filled with natural curl and body, there’s just seems to be something about the salt water and sunshine that just seems to do wonders for my hair.
Unfortunately I don't live year round in this kind of luxury or live near the oceanfront. Something about the beautiful tropical weather and warm air seems to do my hair wonders.

Does anyone know how I can make sea salt spray or what product do you recommend so I can continue to achieve this wind swept sensational look?

Apply to towel-dried still-damp hair:

Ingredients For DIY Sea Salt Spray

-Clean Sterile Spray bottle
-1 cup hot water - (not too hot to apply to your scalp)
-1-2 tsp sea salt (up to 1 full tsp for a more beach enhanced look)
-1 tbsp jojoba or coconut oil or argan oil. (If you prefer, you can mix 1/2 tsp of 2 of the oils)
-½ tsp leave-in conditioner which is best for your hair type & texture
-1/8th teaspoon hair styling light pomade or light water-based gel (optional - some prefer to skip this ingredient)

Note: For a true beach result, mix and max the oils, conditioners and pomade/gels with beach infused scents. Coconut oil is a great beach based fragrance if you hair can handle coconut oil. If you can find a leave-in, pomade or gel with coconut or similar aromas, be sure to mix those in. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or fragrance to amp up the results.

Instructions

Pour the hot water into the clean spray bottle.
Add sea salt followed by oil, conditioner and pomade/gel.
Shake until completely mixed.

Spritz on your damp hair and scrunch. For a more pronounced beach look apply the spray and then braid hair. Allow hair to aid dry with sea salt spray in the hair.

Experiment for the best mixture for your hair type, texture, length and condition.

This is one product I never used but wished I could. The look is so beautiful, but salt does nothing for my hair type. It just adds build up and makes it so hard to clean.

You are right Jaime, if you don't have the right type, texture and overall condition of hair sea salt can be difficult to use, stick to the hair and be difficult to remove.

It is NOT recommended for anyone who regularly oils their hair since it is more likely to adhere to the strands and be even more difficult to remove.

Thanks so much for your feedback.
