Article content

Want that perfectly tousled, laid-back look? Meet your secret weapon: sea salt spray. It’s the must-have for creating naturally undone beachy styles without a hint of grit.

The TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray is a fan favourite, known for adding volume, enhancing texture, and delivering that just-back-from-the-beach vibe. 

Ready for a fresh, textured style with minimal effort? We explain how to use sea salt spray – from how to use it to effortless styling tips.

WHAT DOES SEA SALT SPRAY DO TO YOUR HAIR?

Wondering what sea salt spray does to your hair? It’s all about texture, volume and that perfectly undone style. 

What does sea salt spray do for your hair? It enhances your hair’s natural movement, giving it a lifted, tousled look that works for every hair type – from fine to straight or curly. The result? Volume that looks effortless, with a matte beachy finish.

This is all thanks to the unique ingredients of sea salt spray.

WHAT DOES SEA SALT SPRAY CONTAIN? 

Unsurprisingly, it contains sea salt and other texture-enhancing ingredients that gently roughen the hair’s surface. This is what gives that gritty texture that lifts at the roots and adds grip to lengths and ends. 

A sea salt spray before and after is quite the instant transformation. No matter how soft and smooth your hair is before applying the sea salt spray, it will be textured and full of body afterwards.

APPLYING SEA SALT SPRAY: TECHNIQUES AND TIPS

Whether you’re going for a soft beachy wave or a more defined, texturised look, it’s all about technique – and using the right product – to get a salon-worthy result. 

WET VS. DRY HAIR

What sea salt spray does to wet hair and dry hair is different. When you apply sea salt spray to damp hair, you get a softer, more natural texture that’s perfect for a subtle, tousled look.

The best way to use sea salt spray for a stronger, more defined volume is to apply it to dry hair. This gives hair extra lift and grip, especially at the roots. If you have fine or straight hair, applying it dry is ideal for adding texture.

HOW MUCH SEA SALT SPRAY SHOULD YOU USE?

Wondering how much sea salt spray to use? Start with less and build up as needed. 

  • For short to medium hair: 3-5 spritzes are usually enough, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. 
  • For longer or thicker hair: feel free to go up to 6-8 spritzes, ensuring even distribution throughout. 

Remember, with sea salt spray, a little goes a long way to achieve that effortlessly textured look.

THE BEST WAY TO APPLY SEA SALT SPRAY FOR EVEN COVERAGE

The key to natural-looking texture when using sea salt spray is even coverage. 

Hold the bottle about 15-20 centimetres away from your head and apply sea salt spray from root to tip. Flip your head upside down and scrunch the hair upwards to build extra body. This technique helps lock in the spray’s volume-boosting benefits and gives hair a lifted and tousled effect.

SEA SALT SPRAY HAIRSTYLES: FROM BEACH WAVES TO TEXTURED UPDOS

Now that you know how to apply sea salt spray to your hair, the next trick is mastering the different sea salt spray hairstyles you can achieve. 

With our TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray—the best texturising sea salt spray—you can easily achieve everything from breezy beach waves to statement updos.

CLASSIC & TOUSLED BEACH WAVES

The ultimate sea salt spray hairstyle? Beach waves. 

To create beach waves, spritz our TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray onto damp hair with a natural wave, no matter how small. The scrunch technique will amplify and define waves from mid-lengths to ends, then either air dry or diffuse to set. 

For extra wave definition, especially for naturally straight hair, use a curling tong or twist sections of your hair as it dries. The benefits of sea salt hair spray shine here, as it brings just the right texture for that carefree, mermaid hair vibe.

TEXTURED UPDOS

For updos that need a bit of edge, sea salt spray is your styling essential. 

Use our TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray to add grip and texture to buns, braids or messy updos, giving that lived-in look. 

Start by applying the spray evenly through dry hair, focusing on the roots for volume. Then, style it into a messy bun, loose braid or textured ponytail, letting pieces fall naturally. You’ll look effortlessly elegant without looking too “done.”

VOLUME & LIFT FOR FINE HAIR

For fine or flat hair, our TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray is perfect for adding lift and volume. 

Spray it into dry hair, concentrating on the roots and mid-lengths, giving your hair a good scrunch as you go. This technique instantly boosts flat hair for a fuller style that lasts all day. 

To maintain lift, add a light spritz to the roots and tousle with your fingers whenever your style needs a refresh.
