Properties of sea salt

How to use spray to create texture?
Texturing hair spray can be applied both after washing, on wet and on dry locks. Most of all, such funds are suitable for owners of thin and curly curls. They acquire additional volume and become more dense and textured. All you have to do is spray the spray onto wet, towel-dried strands. If you want to achieve root volume - apply the product along the partings on the roots. If your goal is structured waves - to the middle part and the ends. There are three installation options:
- Form waves with your hands, squeezing curls at the ends. And leave to dry in a natural way.
- Dry the hair with a diffuser.
- Lower your head down and dry the hair dryer well. So you will achieve a dizzying volume.
If your hair usually does not hold well, apply a little more spray to the already dried curls. But what about the owners of straight strands? Here you have to make a little more effort. If you have thin and straight hair, then beach curls can be created in this way:
- Wash your hair before going to bed. Dry them with a towel.
- Spray texturing hair spray . Dry the locks lightly with a hairdryer, but do not dry completely.
- Now collect the hair high on the top, twist the resulting tail into a braid and form a bun. Fix with a soft rubber band and go to bed. The next morning, natural beach waves are provided for you.
- Instead of a bundle, one or two braids can be braided.
If you have straight, stiff, poorly styled hair, then for the effect of wet curls you need:
- After washing, apply a spray of sea salt along the entire length.
- Dry the hair with a hairdryer, you can lower your head down.
- Using irons or curling irons, put your hair in large, natural curls.
- Spray the strands again, separate them with your fingers and allow to air dry.

Negative reviews
Unfortunately, this product (texturing hair spray) reviews are not only positive, but also negative. Some customers do not like:
- Glued, stiff ends of curls. This can happen if you have contributed too much.
- Dry hair after using the spray. Almost all products for creating textures include caring, moisturizing substances. Dry hair can cause poor hair care.
- There is no effect. Such reviews are most often left by girls with naturally straight curls. Unfortunately, a hair spray textured on its own will not be able to make the strands curl. But if you resort to the methods described above, then the effect of beach waves can be achieved even on straight hair.

- Weaving element. Select a medium-wide strand along the parting. Braid a light fishtail braid. Fix it with a thin rubber band.
- Tall ponytail. Do not forget to release a couple of curls near the face.
