Sea Salt Spray

Sea salt spray for hair is one of the popular styling products which provide volume, texture, light hold and a naturally tousled look for hair. It is a hair spray with sea salt which imitates the effect of saltwater after a day spent by the sea – without complicated styling.

What Does Sea Salt Spray Do to Your Hair?

Salt water for hair helps bring out its natural texture and enhance waves or light curls. Thanks to sea salt spray, hair looks more relaxed and airy, and is easier to style into a tousled “beach waves” look. Plus, it smells like a vacation in a bottle.

Sea salt hair spray is therefore primarily used for:

●      creating light waves on fine and straight hair

●      highlighting waves and curls in naturally curly hair

●      adding volume and reviving lifeless hair

●      absorbing oil and refreshing hair

●      better hold and staying power for hairstyles and braids

●      a slightly tousled "beach look"

Doesn't Saltwater Damage Hair?

Saltwater itself can dehydrate hair slightly just like when you're swimming in the sea. If you use saltwater too often, the salt can gradually disrupt the colour and structure of your hair and lead to breakage, splitting and frizzing.

That's why modern sea salt sprays usually contain hydrating and nourishing ingredients that protect hair without unnecessarily drying it out or weighing it down.

These include the following:

●      glycerine

●      keratin

●      panthenol

●      aloe vera

●      vegetable oils

How Should You Choose Sea Salt Spray?

When choosing a sea salt spray, the most important factors are your hair type and the desired result. Salt content is a key factor. A higher concentration will give your hair more pronounced texture and hold and enhance the beachy waves look, but it can also dry it out more. That’s why it’s worth paying attention to other ingredients as well—ones that help nourish your hair and balance out the effects of the salt.

The ideal sea salt spray shouldn't make your hair stick together or leave it feeling uncomfortably rough.

●      If you have dry hair, choose a sea salt hair spray that contains oils or aloe vera.

●      For fine hair, a light sea salt spray is suitable as it adds volume without weighing hair down.

●      Thicker or straight hair often needs stronger hold so that the waves stay in place better.

How Do You Use a Saltwater Hair Spray?

Using salt water on your hair is very simple, but always follow the instructions on the product packaging.

1. Shake the salt hair spray well and spray it onto your damp hair from a distance of 15 centimetres. The spray works best on wet hair.
2. Apply the spray to the roots and mid-lengths of hair strands so that the ends don't get unnecessarily dehydrated.
3. Gently squeeze your hair with your fingers to create texture.
4. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser.
5. Use seawater for your hair sparingly and in moderation.

Tip: For a more dramatic effect, you can lightly twist your hair with your fingers or braid it, and then apply a salt spray to your hair.
