How to Get Beachy Waves Using Sea Salt

Using a coconut oil and sea salt spray

Fill an empty squirt bottle with water from a tap.

Add two tablespoons of sea salt. Then pour in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.

Shake the ingredients inside the bottle until mixed together. The spray is now ready for use.

Wash and condition your hair before you begin creating the beach waves.

Squirt the spray you've prepared onto your locks. Spray your hair until it’s nice and moist.

Scrunch your hair upwards with your fingers, if your hair is very wet, scrunch it with some paper towels to dry your hair a little bit. Also, if you have super frizzy hair, then use an anti-frizz serum, in order to control the frizz.

Allow your hair to dry naturally and you should be able to achieve this look. If you want more of a wave, let your hair dry in the sunlight, if possible.

Keep your wavy style in place by using a good hairspray and you're ready to go!

Using a coconut conditioner and sea salt spray

Add some sea salt flakes to the spray bottle. It is recommended that you grind the flakes between your fingers a little first, as this will help them to dissolve faster. Depending on how little or much water your bottle will hold, add a suitable amount of salt: as a rough guide, use about 4 oz for every 8oz water. You can use more for an even more beachy look.

Add the conditioner. Use about 1/2 a teaspoon for every 8 oz water, or a little more if your hair is naturally very dry. However, don't use too much, otherwise it will not mix properly with the water.

Add essential oil, if using. If you want, throw in an essential oil of your choice. These are great for sensitive scalps, and your hair. Or, you could use cold chamomile tea instead, which will lighten your hair over time. Use about 1 teaspoon. Always check the contra-indications of essential oils before using, just to be safe.

Add the water and mix. Fill the bottle with water, screw the cap on tight and then shake to combine all the ingredients. Now you're ready to apply!

Apply as required. The great thing about this spray is that it can be used on damp or dry hair. Soaking hair isn't suitable as the spray will probably just drip off.

Spray all over your hair and scrunch it in - then, if wished, sit in the sun to let the chamomile tea work, if added. This means it's great to use at the beach when you come out of the sea, if you don't get beachy waves naturally.
