What Does Sea Salt Spray Do? This salt spray—like the rest of Rizos Curls products—were formulated by someone with curly hair (hi, founder Julissa Prado) for people with curly hair, meaning it was created with dry hair in mind. The spray is rich in hydrating aloe vera juice and moisture-boosting humectants (see: glycerin, propanediol, and polyglutamic acid) to help offset the drying effects of sea salt.

Super easy, super matte, super strong. Apply to blow-dried hair, rough it up and walk away. Perfect for short rough styles that you don't want to look perfect."

Sea salt spray was created to replicate the texture that natural sea water gives to hair,” explains Neil, “the original idea came from editorial hair stylists who would use natural sea water when on a location shoot to give hair that authentic beachy, dry texture.” What does sea salt spray do for the hair? This enriching, strengthening and volumising formula uses Pro-Vitamin B5, (panthenol), unrefined Atlantic sea salt and the catchily named MiruStyle MFP PE, which is a blend of frizz-reducing amino acids. And, thanks to its mix of hydrating aloe vera and moisturizing shea butter and plant oils (castor, argan, and moringa oils), it won’t leave your hair feeling like straw, even with its salty base.

The dry texture and oil-balancing ingredients make this a great choice for fine hair – particularly if you need a boost at the roots. This spray is ideal for creating a loose, tousled look with that “fresh off the sand” finish. There’s a natural phenomenon we often observe at this time of year and we’re not talking about the solstice or the midnight sun: it’s how great our hair looks after a day at the beach. We’ve turned a delicate shade of red and have sand in awkward places, but our thatch has never looked better. Frizzy curls are replaced with cherubic ringlets, stubbornly straight strands have wavy kinks and even short hairstyles have more shape. It provides a light hold that doesn’t weigh hair down. Spray it directly onto dry/damp hair, or onto your fingers and rub through. Salt is so good at absorbing the natural oils it can make thirsty hair and scalps more parched. Most sprays include nourishing and hydrating ingredients, but if your type is particularly dry, fragile or coarse, Neil recommends taking the time to thoroughly wash the hair after each use to protect it from any cumulative damage.Sea salt sprays work by giving the hair a messy texture and body similar to what happens when exposed to seawater,” says George Papanikolas, Matrix celebrity colorist. Depending on your hair type and the look you’re hoping to achieve, there are a few different ways to use a sea salt spray in your hair — none of which require much effort. “Apply to damp hair, then gently scrunch and allow it to air dry or diffuse it for a beach look,” says Papanikolas. When you want major beach-y, piece-y texture, you turn to this best-selling sea-salt spray from Not Your Mother’s, which Cosmo beauty editor Beth Gillette describes as “very no-nonsense” in the ~salty~ department. “It sprays out in a super-fine mist, so you can really load it up on denser hair if you want, whereas I can just lightly mist it onto my damp hair, air-dry it, and then add some waves with a three-barrel waver or put my hair into braids,” says Gillette after testing. “I like that it gives me a little grit so my hair isn't so silky.” After this point, the hair will be styled to preference, but I prefer a little bit more hold throughout the day. Because I have finer, thinner hair I must be careful when using additional products. This is where less is definitely more. If you’re looking for natural, fresh-from-the-beach waves, search no further. The addition of moisturizing coconut oil in this sea salt spray means it’ll give you a soft and textured finish, rather than leaving your hair feeling crunchy. And because it’s such a lightweight mist, you can spritz it on wet or dry. It also won’t weigh down fine hair.

It gives texture and volume to fine, flat hair while keeping hair looking natural and feeling weightless. It’s also great for creating natural waves without weighing it down.” Start with a freshly washed head of hair. After hopping out of the shower, pat dry your hair. From there you can let your hair air dry until it is damp-dry, or you can use a blow dryer to speed up the process.
