Sea salt spray is a useful styling product when you want texture, separation and a relaxed finish without making your hair look overly polished. It can work on its own for a lighter style or serve as a foundation under another product.
What Does Sea Salt Spray Do?
Sea salt spray is commonly used to give hair a more textured, lived-in appearance. It can help create the kind of loose definition associated with beach-inspired styles, especially on short-to-medium hair.
Start With Damp Hair
Towel-dry your hair after washing so it is damp rather than dripping wet. Shake the bottle, spray lightly and distribute the product with your hands. Concentrate on the mid-lengths and ends instead of soaking one area.
Build Texture Gradually
Start with only a few sprays. Scrunch longer hair or work your fingers through shorter hair to encourage separation. You can let it air-dry for a relaxed result or use a blow dryer to create more lift.
Can You Combine It With Other Products?
Yes. Once the spray has dried, add a small amount of clay, cream or pomade if you need more control. Our guide to pomade, clay and styling cream can help you choose the right finishing product.
Avoid Using Too Much
If your hair feels stiff, dry or gritty, reduce the amount next time. Product needs vary by hair length and thickness, so increase gradually rather than starting heavy.
