How much salt for sea salt spray?

The recommended amount of sea salt for sea salt spray is one tablespoon per one cup of warm water.

Here's a breakdown to help you create your own sea salt spray:

• Base Recipe: 1 cup warm water + 1 tablespoon sea salt.

• Considerations for Different Hair Types:

  • Fine Hair: The base recipe should work well. You may even want to start with slightly less salt (e.g., 2 teaspoons) to avoid weighing your hair down.
  • Thick, Dry, or Coarse Hair: Celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson suggests that you might need to add a moisturizing oil (like coconut oil, argan oil, or avocado oil) to combat dryness. Start with a teaspoon and adjust to your hair's needs.

• Mixing Instructions:

  1. Heat water until warm (not boiling).
  2. Add sea salt and stir until completely dissolved.
  3. If adding oil, mix it in thoroughly.
  4. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle.

• Application Tips:

  • Shake the bottle well before each use.
  • Spray onto damp or dry hair.
  • Scrunch your hair to enhance texture and waves.
  • Allow your hair to air dry or use a diffuser.

By following these guidelines, you can create a customized sea salt spray that works best for your hair type and desired style.
