It comes in a sleek,plastic bottle with the most innovative cap which has a lock button, so untill you press the lock button to one side, it won’t spray. This makes it quite convenient and would avoid wastage/spillage during travel,etc too. Smells really nice.
You can use it on wet or dry hair. I tried it on dry next day hair, I sprayed it at night, rolled my hair high up and kept it overnight.
Also see this video on how to use it..
Now if you have long or dense/thick hair, you are going to need a lot of this! Also since it has alcohol, it is bit drying and hence the matt finish, so do not expect any shine or glossiness in your hair. (Usually hair gets dry on the beach,so beachy waves are not supposed to be shiny or glossy anyways)
Next morning my hair had some waves, only towards the lower half,of course. My hair is quite straight and only slightly wavy and silky too,so nothing holds onto my hair..I need a heavy hair spray for any hairstyle to stay on my hair! :/
Since this has light hold, the waves are not like those softly done curls with a hair curler, but very light natural waves, which would loosen with a thin comb too! Hence, do not use a comb, but only your hands to get rid of tangles and scrunch them up real well!
You may follow up with a good hold hair spray to hold the waves, which I recommend you do, coz without a spray, the waves won’t stay for long, especially if your hair is usually straight like me. Or you can use a curler at first and then use this on light curls, following up with a spray.
Now coming to whether I recommend it, well you know I can get similar waves if I tie my damp hair in a braid or rolling it and tying in a bun and keeping it overnight. Also you can make your own sea salt spray at home mixing hot water,sea salt, bit of coconut/argan oil, few drops of essential oil and a bit of leave in conditioner. If you have straight hair, this won’t help much and also since the hold is light, they won’t stay for long.
So, this being priced at Rs.700 is obviously expensive, when you do need a lot of quantity in every use especially when you have long hair, I won’t say its a must have, but if you always wanted to try a sea salt spray, then you can give this a try.
Rating: 3/5
