Sea Salt Spray - Product Review
Over the past week, I've trialled two brilliant products that I added into my hair styling regime. Three weeks ago when I found a new hairdresser that helped me get to a natural looking ash blonde I got introduced to sea salt spray.
Let me tell you, It's awesome. Not only is it extremely versatile it leaves my hair feeling great and gives a natural look. I found it to be best when I was having a lazy day, just spray some in your hair, run your hands through a few times and style your hair as normal, with or without product.
The two products I trilled were John Frieda's Beach Blonde Ocean Waves Sea-Salt Spray and Tresemme's Perfectly (Un)Done Tousling Sea Salt Spray.
You can pick up both of these sea salt sprays from most major retailers both in store and online for $16.99 and $8.99 respectively.
I started off using the John Freida sea salt spray, I found it to be a light mixture that didn't leave my hair feeling too gritty but it did make my hair coarse and knotty if I left it in overnight. I mostly used it for those lazy days where I just sprayed it and ran my hands through my hair a few times to get some waves. The bottle's design is a little annoying though, it feels awkward to hold and also doesn't have much spray capacity compared to Tresemme's sea salt spray. Overall I think it's a great product to have on you for those days your in a rush or need a quick re-style.
I've been using the Tresemme sea salt spray for a little bit less than a week now and I can definitely say it's my preferred product for a perfect hairstyle. In the picture above I am using this product. It gives my hair a soft and gritty feel, a natural look and it's a sexy product! The build-up isn't too bad and I can leave it in overnight with my hair feeling nice and smooth the next day. The bottle is a lot more functional, coming in a sleek, round and see-through black bottle it's easy and familiar to hold and use, the spray capacity is great too. The styling process using this product is a bit more detailed though. Start off with damp hair and spray the product liberally. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, you're in luck, just scrunch up your hair and air dry or diffuse. If you've got naturally straight hair like me follow on with these steps. Blow dry your hair until it's about 70-80% dry, make sure you do it on a low heat setting so you don't burn your scalp or damage your hair too much. Now you'll want to divide your hair into a few sections and create a twist by holding it from the bottom and twirling it away from your face. Keep twisting until you create a bun or something similar that can be tied up to hold in place, repeat this with each section. Finally, if you want more defined waves to blow dry until your hair is fully dry, otherwise let it air dry and run your fingers through a few times to loosen up the hair you had tied up!
There you have it, both are great products and I honestly can't say one is better than the other as they both offer different uses and advantages. I think both products are a must have!
