I have wavy hair and I love the way it looks when I get out on the beach. I get these really beautiful, soft beachy waves that only come from salt water. An easy way to get the look every day is to use this DIY salt hair spray. I love that I can control the amount of salt so that it isn’t so drying. I also added some conditioner and natural oils to help keep my hair looking fresh and refreshed whenever I use my DIY Salt Hair Spray.
I simply spray the DIY Salt Hair Spray on my dry hair and scrunch. As it dries I get a great natural wave patter that is reminiscent of days at the beach. You can play around with the amounts
This recipe can be doubled.
