Over the years, there have been a lot of hair products for men on the market. Where previously the greasy and wet looks were very popular among men, we are now starting to appreciate more and more the natural looks. Those natural looks go hand in hand with products made from natural ingredients. Men are becoming more aware of the health of their hair.
Most hair products make hair heavier and sooner or later make the hair fall down. The texture disappears and the hair becomes greasy. For a while now there is the sea salt spray. It is literally what it says. A spray with sea salt in it. No you can't use it for your steak. Unfortunately! Fortunately, for your hairstyle it also offers many benefits that are really worth giving this product a try.
What is sea salt spray?
A sea salt spray or sea salt spray is different from a hairspray or other hair sprays. A sea salt spray is literally a water-based spray with added sea salt. Now, there are also many sea salt sprays on the market that contain all sorts of unnecessary junk that your hair absolutely does not need. Go for a sea salt spray with as many natural ingredients as possible.
What do you use sea salt spray for?
Sea salt opens the shafts of the hair follicles and removes the accumulated dirt and dead skin cells which makes the hair less stiff. Other ingredients for example clay creates more texture and volume which makes the hair look healthier. It gives your hair a natural hold without being stuck on your head.
Oily hair
Do you have oily hair? Then a sea salt spray is for you. With the use of a sea salt spray the hair needs to be washed less often because the sea salt works together with the natural oils in the hair and changes the structure giving the hair a more matte effect.
The beach look
How good hair always looks after a day at the beach. Like you have a kilo of styling products in it without getting greasy. The salt, clay and sun (vitamin D) give your hair that wonderfully healthy beach look. Salt spray hair also looks very natural and casual.
Whipped hair
Besides giving volume, hair also tends to curl more when using a sea salt spray. Apply the sea salt spray to wet hair after showering and style it with your fingers. This will give the hair a nice curl. So if you want more wavy hair then you could consider a sea salt spray.
As a pre-styler for extra hold and volume
Many men naturally want a good hold in their hair and only a sea salt spray will not give super strong hold. Fortunately, it is perfectly compatible with any other product. By using sea salt spray as a pre styler you spray it into your hair after showering and blow dry it. You'll notice right away how much volume is created. Now when you apply a styling product you will have more hold and volume and need less styling product. So with a sea salt spray you still get that natural look you won't get with a pomade.
What makes a sea salt spray different from other grooming sprays?
In a nutshell, a sea salt spray is different in that it contains natural ingredients that do not need the help of artificial agents. I'm sure there are sea salt sprays out there with lots of synthetic ingredients but we recommend avoiding those. In our opinion, these are not true sea salt sprays. Ingredients found in many sea salt sprays are:

Clay

Essential oils
These oils work antibacterial and are often good for the scalp. Besides the cleansing effect, it also makes your hair smell nice.
