To make your own sea salt spray for beachy, textured hair, follow this simple DIY recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm or hot water (filtered or distilled preferred)
- 1 tablespoon sea salt (fine or medium grain)
- 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel or hair gel (optional, for moisture and hold)
- 1 teaspoon oil such as argan, coconut, or jojoba oil (optional, for hydration)
- 1-2 drops of essential oil for fragrance (optional)
- Clean spray bottle
- Funnel (optional, for easy pouring)
Instructions
- Prepare the spray bottle: Clean and dry your spray bottle thoroughly.
- Dissolve the salt: In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the warm water and sea salt. Stir until the salt is fully dissolved.
- Add moisturizing agents: Mix in aloe vera gel or hair gel to reduce dryness and add hold. Add oil if desired to keep hair hydrated.
- Add fragrance: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for scent.
- Transfer mixture: Pour the mixture into the spray bottle using a funnel or carefully by hand.
- Shake well: Secure the nozzle and shake vigorously to combine all ingredients.
- Use: Spray onto damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Scrunch hair gently to encourage waves. Air dry or use a diffuser for enhanced texture.
Tips
- Adjust the amount of salt for stronger or lighter hold, but avoid too much salt to prevent dryness.
- For lighter hair, add lemon juice; for darker hair, use brewed black tea instead of water to enhance color and shine.
- Store the spray at room temperature for up to 2-3 months; refrigerate if using fresh ingredients like lemon juice or tea.
This homemade sea salt spray gives you natural, effortless beach waves without harsh chemicals and lets you customize the scent and hydration level to your liking
