How to Get Beach-Tousled Hair Naturally

The combination of wind and salt water is what makes your hair look wavy and tousled after a day at the beach. If you covet that look but are not able to frolic at the beach, there are a plethora of commercial products that can replicate the look. Consider taking matters into your own hands and making a sea salt spray at home to get beach-tousled hair.

Things You'll Need

• 8 ounces water
• Large spray bottle
• 3 teaspoons sea salt
• Moroccan oil
• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Hair dryer
• Medium-size curling iron
• Hairspray

Instructions

Homemade Salt Spray

1. Pour 8 ounces water into a large spray bottle.

2. Measure out 3 teaspoons sea salt. Put the sea salt into the water in the spray bottle.

3. Add 2 drops of Moroccan oil to the spray bottle. Screw the top on the bottle.

4. Hold the neck of the bottle firmly. Shake the bottle vigorously for 10 seconds.

Styling the Hair

1. Put a dime-size amount of moisturizing shampoo to your hair. Rinse out thoroughly.

2. Smooth a quarter-size amount of conditioner on your hair. Let it sit for five minutes and rinse out with water.

3. Spray your hair with the sea salt spray. Focus on the middle and ends of the hair.

4. Gather sections of hair in your hands. Scrunch the hair with your hands to create waves. Blow dry your hair until it is almost completely dry.

5. Turn on a medium-size curling iron. Wrap random sections of hair around the curling iron. Start at the nape of your neck and continue until you are done. Run your fingers through the curls to tousle them. Spritz with a light-hold hairspray.
