DIY: Homemade Sea Salt Spray

Sea Salt Spray is great for the summer.  It quickly adds texture to otherwise flat hair.  Think along the lines of wind-blown, beach volume and texture.  Generally, if you're looking for that 'I've just been to the beach' look - salt spray is great for adding body and volume to hair or creating beach waves.  

Buying sea salt spray can be expensive - stores retail sea salt spray for $8 or more (CAD).  I know there are less expensive versions in the USA or else where.  A popular brand I've heard of is "Not Your Mother's".  But for those who want to save the $$ and make there own, this is a quick and easy recipe to make sea salt spray at home.

Ingredients needed:
- 1/2 tsp of scented conditioner
- 2 tbsp of ground sea salt
- 8 oz. of water (approx. 1 cup of water)

I found a spray bottle at Daiso (a Japanese dollar store for $2) - you're going to need a 250mL or larger spray bottle.  Personally, I'm using a 100mL spray bottle and I converted the rest accordingly.

Tips/Instructions:

 - if possible, heat water - you want to mix this all in warm water.

 - put water into a small saucepan and heat (not boil or simmer), you want warm water
 - add sea salt 1 tbsp at a time (make sure the salt dissolves completely or it will clog the spray bottle)
 - once salt has dissolved, allow to cool slightly before pouring into a spray bottle (use a funnel)

 - add the conditioner once you have pour the salt water in the bottle

 - shake, stir and swirl until the conditioner is mixed in

 - shake or swirl spray before every use

Simple and easy - that's the key.  =D enjoy.
