In this post, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process to create your own DIY sea salt spray and provide tips on application and styling for those irresistible beachy waves.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of warm water
• 1 tablespoon of sea salt
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel
• Optional: a few drops of essential oil for fragrance (such as lavender or jasmine)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

   • Gather all the necessary ingredients listed above.
   • Ensure the water is warm but not boiling, as hot water can damage the natural properties of the other ingredients.

2. Mix the Ingredients:

   • In a clean spray bottle, combine the warm water and sea salt.
   • Stir or shake the bottle until the sea salt is fully dissolved in the water.
   • Add the coconut oil and aloe vera gel to the mixture.
   • If desired, add a few drops of your preferred essential oil for a delightful fragrance.

3. Shake Well:

   • Secure the lid of the spray bottle tightly.
   • Shake the bottle vigorously to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

4. Application:

   • Before applying the sea salt spray, ensure your hair is clean and slightly damp.
   • Spritz the DIY sea salt spray evenly onto your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
   • For thicker hair, you may need to section your hair and apply the spray layer by layer to ensure full coverage.
   • Avoid spraying directly onto the scalp, as this may cause excess drying or irritation.

5. Styling:

   • Once the sea salt spray is applied, use your fingers to scrunch and tousle your hair gently.
   • For added texture and volume, flip your hair upside down and scrunch the spray into the roots.
   • Allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser attachment on a low setting to speed up the drying process.
   • As your hair dries, continue to scrunch and tousle to enhance the beachy waves.

Tips for Beachy Waves:

• Experiment with the amount of sea salt spray used to achieve your desired level of texture and hold.
• For a more defined wave pattern, twist small sections of hair around your fingers after applying the sea salt spray. Alternatively, use our styling fork to twist hair into an up-do and leave for a few hours- once you take the hair fork out you should have a perfectly formed wave. No heat styling tools required.
• If you have naturally straight hair, use a curling wand or iron to add loose waves before applying the sea salt spray for enhanced beachy texture.
• Avoid over-applying the sea salt spray, as this can lead to hair feeling stiff or crunchy. Start with a small amount and build up as needed.
• To refresh your beachy waves throughout the day, simply mist your hair lightly with water and scrunch gently.
