Do you need Sea Salt Spray?
Sea Salt Spray is a water-based product that creates thickness, volume, hold and texture when applied to the hair.
It is:
- Made for wavy or curly hair (can be used for straight hair)
- Ideal for medium-long lengths
- A balanced product - A mix between drying and moisturising the hair, to create volume and lift but also to wave/curl the hair by moisturising
- Quick and easy to apply for low maintenance haircuts
- Perfect for thinning hair
- Great for natural, messy/textured hairstyles

What does Sea Salt Spray do?
Magnesium Sulfate (not the bad sulfates) and Sodium Chloride absorbs the excess oils to create a rough, textured look.
Glycerin and Propylene Glycol adds moisture and smoothness to prevent the hair from drying out and brings out the hairs waves/curls.

How to use Effect Sea Salt Spray
1. Can start with dry or damp hair
Dry hair if you're in a rush, otherwise start with damp hair.
2. Generously spray sea salt spray across hair
I like to apply a decent amount of sea salt spray across the whole head
3. Scrunch sea salt spray in
By using all your fingers, scrunch the hair and make sure it is evenly spread across
4. Style to your desired look.
5a. Let it air-dry to create a "wet", textured and natural look
5b. Diffuse the hair on high heat
This will activate the sea salt spray and create thickness and volume similar to texture powder but for more wavy/curly longer hair
6. Still flat or not enough texture?
Apply more sea salt spray and diffuse hair again on high heat while rubbing the problem areas with fingers
7. Too much volume and buffy?
Wet your hands and then lightly pat the problem areas to add moisture, this will weigh down the hair and break up the thickness.
8 (optional). Hair spray to lock the hair in place
Our sea salt spray creates the perfect amount of texture and hold, without being too sticky like other sprays do.
Letting sea salt spray air-dry will form a light coating around the hair that creates hold and breaks up thickness, similar to using hairspray
Blowdrying sea salt spray with heat will activate the thickening ingredients in the sea salt spray which will dry and volumise your hair, similar to texture powder.
Understanding the difference is key to using sea salt spray correctly.

Optimal Hair Routine
1. Apply Sea Salt Spray in the Mornings
2. Wash your hair in the shower every night with just water
3. Shampoo and Condition three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
This routine will ensure that the sea salt spray doesn't irritate or dry out your scalp over time as your shampooing it off, and that you're replacing your hair consistently with oils from conditioning.
Keep in mind that sea salt spray strips the oils from the hair, so you need to be cleaning your hair regularly otherwise you may start experiencing dry, damaged hair.
