Salt Spray - hair product

rainbowfairydust

Has anyone used this product before? If so which brand? and how do i use it please?
Do you spray in while the hair is wet? and then dry it? or not dry it all?

Sorry no answer for you, but following your thread as I am interested in trying this out too (but don't want to waste my money if its no good).

You can use this spray on either dry, damp or wet hair. Spray through your hair when wet or damp and just let your hair dry into shape.

Didn't work for me, I'm afraid. I used Superdrug own brand - at least it wasn't expensive.

I used it on damp hair, and my hair is shortish and thick, and just let it dry.

I've been using the Fudge one - picked it cos it smelled nice! I'm quite impressed with it, but I want to have a go at making my own when this bottle is used up

OK. Salt, water, a bit of perfume and a fancy bottle.

If you live by the sea, it's even easier. All you need is a bucket.



Edit: If the bucket doesn't appeal, look here...

Ordinary table salt will do.

Thanks for the link, not much to it is there? I might give it a go. I do live by the sea actually but don't fancy wading in this time of year!

Has anyone tried a homemade version? how did it compare to shop brought?

Sorry OP didn't mean to hijack your thread

I've been using the Got2be one for a few weeks. My hair isn't naturally wavy as such, I'd generally describe it as prone to creases.

I've been spraying it quite generously on wet hair - it's better if it's not too well towel-dried - just shaking it out with my fingers - don't comb or brush at all - and letting it air-dry. It's given me soft, irregular waves that last a few days even when it's damp outside. I don't wash my hair daily but if it gets a bit tatty I give it a refresher spray with water, shake it out again and it looks fine. A sight less trouble than using straightening irons.

It doesn't make my hair crunchy or stiff, has a very faint seaside fragrance when wet and - surprisingly - doesn't dull the shine. Ah, I've also been running 2 drops of (Primark) argan oil through first, maybe that helps.

I did see a recipe on a blog to make your own, but can't recall which blog it was now. Might try to find it and make it when this one runs out, which will be a while yet.
