Salt Sprays

It's a lightweight styling product that uses sea salt or mineral salts to add texture, volume, and a tousled beachy finish to your hair. It enhances your natural wave pattern, adds grip to straight hair, and creates a matte, lived-in look without a lot of effort. If you want hair that looks like you've been at the beach without actually going to the beach, this is how you get there.

Great for texture and volume, but salt can be mildly drying with regular use, especially on already dry, colour-treated, or curly hair. The fix is easy: follow up with a leave-in conditioner or a lightweight hair oil on the ends. Many of the sprays in our range include conditioning ingredients already. If you're using sea salt hair spray every day, balance it with a hydrating treatment once or twice a week and your hair will stay in good shape.

Anyone who wants effortless texture without much effort. Salt spray works best on fine to medium hair where the salts can actually lift and separate the hair. It's not off-limits for thicker types but opt for a formula with hydrating ingredients. It's also genuinely great for men on short to medium cuts where you want a natural, matte finish. If you've been using wax or clay and want something that looks less heavy-handed, sea salt spray men's formulas are worth trying.

Yes, and it works differently to applying on damp hair, which is worth knowing.

• On damp hair: the salts interact with your natural wave pattern as the hair dries, giving you more defined and lasting texture. Best result for waves or curls
• On dry hair: adds texture and a matte finish without changing the overall structure much. Better for refreshing a style, adding grip before a braid, or a quick hair reset mid-week

Both work. It just depends on the result you're after.

Sea salt hair spray men's styling works best on textured cuts, shaggy or mid-length hair, and any style where you want natural movement without obvious product. Evo's range and Eleven both work well for men because the formulas are lightweight and deliver a matte finish rather than shine.

Apply to dry or slightly damp hair, scrunch or run your fingers through, and leave it. You should look like you haven't tried. Sea salt hair spray is lower maintenance than most styling products because the whole point is an undone look. Less is more. Start with a small amount and add from there.

Both add texture and a relaxed finish, but the method is different. Salt spray uses mineral salts to enhance wave patterns and create a matte beachy feel. It's lighter and more casual. Texturising sprays tend to use polymers and resins to add grip, definition, and hold without the wave-enhancing effect.

If you want beach waves, go sea salt hair spray. If you want defined, separated pieces or a dry-look finish with more structure, a texturising spray is the better call. A lot of people actually use both: sea salt spray on damp hair to build the wave, texturising spray once dry to add separation and hold.
