Beach Hair 101: get some salt in your hair

There is nothing like the rough, somewhat sticky, but dry feeling of your hair after a dip in the ocean. And it looks effortlessly cool, thick, a bit wavy, and bed-head-esque as well. Thankfully I can just run down the street and hop in the ocean to get this easy hair fix, but if you are landlocked, or live somewhere where the ocean causes frostbite, there is an easy, at home replica of the coveted saltwater texture.

Homemade saltwater spray: 

1. Dissolve a tablespoon or two of bath salts in a cup of hot water (bath salts = hair will smell good, and are less drying)

2. Put in a spray bottle. (the 3oz spray bottles for travel they sell at the drugstore are perfect)

3. Lightly mist on either damp or dry hair

4. Scrunch hair as it dries, or as you blow dry.

5. Shake your salty mane around, take a deep breath, and think of vacation.
