Can I have just one more day off? How about you? Instead, I'm going to the beach for a week--on the blog that is. Join me!
First up, is my special recipe for DIY Sea Salt Spray.
This is what I've used for years,
and I've shared it a couple of times before on the blog.
This is good stuff and it works!
Enjoy!
I N G R E D I E N T S
-Inside clean spray bottle:
-Add 1 squirt of thick conditioner (I use Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle)
-In my original recipe, I used a pinch of coconut oil, but the conditioner listed works just as well!
(I've noticed Pinterest Pinners using my recipe,
but they aren't adding that the coconut oil
needs to be melted, otherwise it won't spray!)
-1/4 c of Kosher salt (not table or rock salt)
-Add 1 squirt of hair gel
-Fill rest of bottle with water.
D I R E C T I O N S
-Shake ingredients.
-Spray on wet hair.
-Braid hair or put into bun or scrunch.
-Use t-shirt to scrunch waves--this prevents frizziness!
-Dry hair however you'd like.
*The salt gives texture.
*The gel gives hold.
*The conditioner or coconut oil softens the crunch & smells like coconut.
*The water is a base and dilutes the ingredients to make them spray-able.

Love this post girl, I love beach waves and your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! I'll have to try this. Hope you had a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how adorable do you look! I love that style on you :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I just bought a jar of coconut oil and can't wait to start using it
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that when I used it I didn't turn out as pretty as you, I looked like a cracked desert floor, oh wait.....was I supposed to put it on my face???
ReplyDeleteNEED to try this! My bottle is almost empty. Thanks!

YAY! Thanks for sharing again, Elle:) Great sub for the B&B surf spray!
ReplyDeleteI so love beach hair and that's really all I sport in the summer since I spend so much time at the beach. There's really no fighting it. I wash and blow my hair while I'm there and within minutes voila it appears. Good thing I like the look or else I'd be mad. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove this to recreate the look in the city. Without that surf and sand it's hard to get in the city.

I love it! after-beach hair is the best!

Huh. I've never thought about manually creating waves like that, but that totally makes sense. (:
ReplyDeleteYou are officially a hair genius. How fabulous. And what beautiful hair you have.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea adding the salt in there for the beachy look.
ReplyDeleteI use a spray bottle on my hair as well, just to keep it moisturized. I use different combinations of water, conditioner, coconut oil and carrot oil.
What a great diy!

Love this look! I will definitely have to make some of this spray up myself! xo
ReplyDeleteDo you have to use hair gel?
ReplyDeleteAnon: Yes, the hair gel provides hold to the waves. A very small amount is needed.
