How to Get Beach Waves with Sea Salt Spray (Even in Winter)
There's a reason your hair looks amazing after a day at the shore: salt water adds grip, texture and volume. Sea salt spray recreates that same effect at home, no ocean required. Here's how to get easy, beachy waves in a few minutes.
What sea salt spray does
Sea salt spray adds texture and light hold, so hair looks fuller and waves hold their shape. The problem with some salt sprays is that they leave hair dry and crunchy. Jersey Love Sea Salt Spray is made with real sea salt from the Jersey Shore plus aloe and cucumber, so hair stays soft and touchable.
Step by step: beach waves in 5 minutes
- Start with damp hair. Towel dry until hair is damp, not dripping.
- Spray from mid-length to ends. Hold the bottle a few inches away and mist evenly. Start with 4 to 6 sprays and add more for thicker hair.
- Scrunch. Cup sections of hair in your hands and squeeze upward toward your scalp.
- Twist a few pieces. For more defined waves, twist 1 to 2 inch sections and let them sit while you get ready.
- Air dry or diffuse. Let hair air dry for the most natural look, or use a diffuser on low heat to speed things up.
- Finish with a light mist. Once dry, a quick spray and scrunch refreshes the texture.
Tips for different hair types
- Fine or straight hair: Spray at the roots too for extra volume, and braid damp hair overnight for stronger waves.
- Thick or curly hair: Use a few more sprays and focus on the ends to define curls and cut frizz.
- Short hair: Spray onto dry hair and tousle with your fingers for messy, lived-in texture.
Second-day hair
Sea salt spray is great for refreshing hair between washes. Mist lightly on dry hair, scrunch, and you're good to go.
