Create Wavy Beach Hair The Simple Way

I love how hair looks and feels after a day at the beach, when the sea salt and sun combine to create loose, carefree waves that just don’t happen anywhere else. Yes, you can buy products to re-create the look, but you can also learn how to make a sea salt spray to get beachy, wavy hair any time, any place. I did a little research online and tested out a few combinations before settling on the homemade sea salt spray below – it works perfectly and also smells divine!

Fill the spray bottle with 1 cup (8 oz.) of water – use lukewarm water to help dissolve the salt and coconut oil.  Add one teaspoon of sea salt to the water.

Add about a half a teaspoon of coconut oil. When researching, I saw many types of homemade sea salt spray using different types of oil, the purpose of which is to help keep your hair from drying out from the sea salt. I chose coconut oil because of all the nutrients it contains – and also because it smells amazing! (You could alternatively use a few drops of olive or jojoba oil).

Add a dab of hair gel (this step is completely optional) – this is just for hold, so the waves stay in your hair longer.

Put the top on the spray bottle and shake thoroughly. Spray it on damp or dry hair and scrunch the hair up towards your head to create waves.

It’s just that easy and It works like a charm!
