How to use Sea Salt Spray for Men

Finally, after years of being underappreciated, sea salt sprays are now recognised for how beneficial they can be for men’s styles. However, with a product that’s a bit more technical than your traditional styling products, we sometimes see the product being misused, and men not managing to get the most out of their hair. To help, we’ve created a step-by-step guide to ensure your style stays on point. 

Benefits

Firstly, part of how to use a sea salt spray is understanding its benefits and identifying which ones you want to prioritise (trust us, this matters more than you think). Additional hold is the benefit that you’ll get regardless of application, though, depending on your style and finishing product, this may be a small bonus or the entire reason for using a sea salt spray. Alongside hold, sea salt sprays can also bring your look more natural texture, something particularly important for messy looks, crops, and loose layers. For these styles, more texture simply equals better style. As well, sea salt sprays can also bring more volume. Slightly less universal, but this is key to taking quiffs, curls, curtains, and mid-length hair to another level.  

How to use Sea Salt Spray

For Texture

If your look is crying out for texture and hold, then start with damp hair, add a few sprays of your sea salt spray, and work thoroughly through the hair. This is key, as even with a good spray, you’ll never be able to achieve total and even coverage without using your hands. You can also use a scrunching motion to better incorporate the product into your hair. Once worked through, emphasising the texturising effect comes by leaving hair to dry naturally without the heat of a hairdryer. Once dry, you’re then free to use your favourite finishing product. 

For Volume

Alternatively, if your style is a quiff or mid-length locks, and you need to maximise volume, the application varies slightly. As with the texture focused application, you’ll need to work the sprays through your hair once applied to damp hair. However, to achieve more volume, you’ll need to blow-dry your hair into place, giving it the desired lift. If you’ve got curly hair, rather than using a regular blow-dryer attachment, you should consider investing in a diffuser attachment. which evenly distributes heat, and with curly hair, this means reducing frizz.
