Using sea salt spray with clay gives your hair texture, volume, and hold for a styled look. Here’s a simple, effective way to combine these products:
Steps to Use Sea Salt Spray and Clay Together:
-
Prepare Your Hair: Start with either damp or dry hair. Damp hair works well if you want more texture, while dry hair is suitable if you prefer a more defined style.
-
Blow Dry and Shape (Optional): Blow-dry your hair, shaping it into roughly the desired position. This step helps you achieve your preferred hairstyle more easily.
-
Apply Clay: Take a small amount of hair clay (about a pea-sized amount, adjust based on hair length and thickness). Rub it between your palms to warm it up and distribute it evenly. Then, work the clay into your hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths to provide hold and definition. Use your fingers to tweak the position of specific hair strands to achieve your desired look.
-
Apply Sea Salt Spray: Hold the sea salt spray about 6-8 inches away from your hair and lightly mist it all over. Focus on the roots to add volume and the mid-lengths to ends for texture. Use your hands to scrunch and tousle your hair while spraying to enhance the textured effect.
-
Final Touches: Once the sea salt spray has dried (or almost dried), assess your hairstyle. If needed, add a touch more clay for increased hold or another light spritz of sea salt spray for added texture.
Tips for Best Results:
- Start Small: Begin with a small amount of both the clay and sea salt spray. You can always add more, but it's difficult to remove excess product.
- Even Distribution: Ensure that both products are distributed evenly throughout your hair to avoid clumping or uneven texture.
- Experiment: Different hair types and lengths will respond differently to these products. Experiment with the amount and application method to find what works best for you.
- Product Quality: Use quality hair clay and sea salt spray for the best results and to minimize potential damage to your hair.
- Consider Your Hair Type: Sea salt spray can sometimes be drying, especially for already dry hair. Use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil before applying these products if you have dry hair.
By following these steps, you can achieve a stylish, textured look using sea salt spray and clay.
