To make your own beach spray, nyx simply add 1 tbsp sea salt, 1 tbsp coconut oil and 1 tbsp hair gel


This past year I have been in the process of weeding out the dirty chemicals in my life. The kind of unnecessary chemicals nyx that are found in cleaning products, skin and hair care, non-organic foods, the list goes on and on. I have chosen to do this partially to lessen my carbon footprint, and mostly for my own personal health – not to mention its cheaper !
Along the way, I have phased out many conventional personal care products. nyx In efforts to break my dirty Paul Mitchell hairspray addiction, I have been searching for an alternative to give my hair some body, as well as a similar textured feel. I first discovered the idea for this DIY beach hair spray on Pinterest , and finally decided to give it a try. The recipe is super simple, and requires very few ingredients – many of which can be found either at home or your local health foods store. All it requires is sea salt for texture, coconut oil for moisture and shine, and a bit of hair gel for hold !
To make your own beach spray, nyx simply add 1 tbsp sea salt, 1 tbsp coconut oil and 1 tbsp hair gel to 1 cup of warm water. Through experimenting, nyx I have found that if your hair tends to be more oily like mine, you can add extra sea salt to your formula to balance things out. If you have drier hair, try adding nyx more coconut oil until you find the right consistency that works best for you =) Then finally, add 3-4 drops of coconut nyx scented oil for a little extra beachy goodness (optional), and shake it all up!
To apply for a beach wavy look, wash your hair as usual, ring it out, spray the solution generously to ends and let air or blow dry (since I have dreads, I do a combination of both air and blow drying, otherwise my hair would be wet for days). So far I have been very pleased with the added texture and overall feel of my hair. It smells absolutely amazing too !
