As summer approaches, beachy waves remain a timeless trend. Achieving that effortless, Blake Lively-inspired look isn't always easy without natural waves. That's where our trusted DIY seawater salt spray comes in—a simple, natural recipe backed by years of beauty experimentation.
Start with the essentials: a spray bottle with a fine mist pump. Ingredients include warm water, coarse sea salt for texture, a nourishing hair conditioner to prevent dryness, and optional essential oils for a fresh scent.
Mix 100 ml of warm water with 5 g of coarse salt, a teaspoon of your favorite conditioner, and about 2 ml (a few drops) of essential oil. Stir until fully dissolved, then pour into your spray bottle. This formulation draws from proven at-home haircare techniques used by stylists worldwide.
To use: Spritz onto damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends to avoid greasiness at the roots. As it air-dries, tousle with fingers, scrunch curls, or twist sections for definition. Pro tip: For a quick fix, twist into a loose bun and unravel once dry for instant texture.
