Ever notice how your hair looks voluminous, soft, and maybe even wavy after a trip to the beach? That's because of the power of sea salt, which pulls excess oil from your scalp while adding volume and texture. If you want that tousled surfer look but aren't able to get to the beach anytime soon, a bottle of sea salt spray will help you achieve the same effect.

Sea salt spray is a lighter alternative to pomade and clay, which makes it the perfect styling product for hot, humid days. You can use it on dry or damp hair.
