DIY This Easy Sea Salt Spray for Voluminous Beach Waves

Tools and materials:

• 10 ounce bottle
• Epsom salt
• Hot water
• Tea
• Himalayan salt or sea salt
• Aloe vera gel
• Conditioner/Almond oil/Jojoba oil
• Lavender essential oil
• Lemon juice
• Vodka

To start, you will need a spray bottle that holds at least 10 ounces.

1. Combine ingredients

You’re going to need one cup of hot water. You want hot water, not boiling water.

You can use chamomile tea as a base which will also lighten your hair.

If you want to darken your hair you can use black tea as a base. If you’re using a tea base you will have to store the spray in the refrigerator.

Pour the hot water into the bottle and add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt. You can add more salt if you want more texture.

Next, you’re going to add half a teaspoon of Himalayan salt or sea salt to help add some stiffness to your hair.

Then you’re going to add one teaspoon of aloe vera gel. After that you can add a half a teaspoon of conditioner. This is an optional ingredient.

Alternatively a few drops of almond oil or jojoba oil work well also. If you have fine, oily hair you might want to skip this ingredient.

You’re going to add in a few drops of essential oils. I used lavender because I love the smell. You can use whichever essential oil you like.

Another optional step is to add one teaspoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of vodka or alcohol. The lemon juice lightens your hair and the alcohol helps preserve it.

2. Shake and store

Place the lid back on the bottle and shake it for one to two minutes until the Epsom and Himalayan salt is dissolved.

Remember to store your mixture in the refrigerator if you added tea or lemon juice.

If not, you can just leave it at room temperature. It should last for around three to four months.

3. How to use the solution

There are a few ways to use the spray. One way is to spray onto damp hair.

Then, dry and scrunch your hair with a towel for loose beach waves.

The second way to use it is to spray the solution onto dry hair and onto the roots of your hair for volume and texture without the waves.

The third way to use it is best for getting the look to last all day on thin, straight hair.

Wash your hair the night before and spray the mixture to damp hair. Then make French braid pigtails or wrap your hair into a scrunch bun at the top of your head. 

Leave it overnight and by the time morning arrives your hair should be nice and dry. Spray some more of the solution onto your hair and then take out the braids or bun.

If you want more stiffness, just spray a little more onto your hair and scrunch again.
