DIY Vanilla Sea Salt Beachy Waves Spray

It's summer, and my favorite hairstyle has to be Beachy Waves. I love it. And one of my favorite posts is my annual diy beachy waves recipe. This year's recipe is for those who want a light hold, less frizziness, and a vanilla scent. Check out the recipe:

Need:

• spray bottle
• kosher salt
• aloe juice
• carrier oil
• vanilla oil
• water
• funnel

Do:

• The amount of each ingredient depends on the size of the bottle. I used a small travel-size bottle in the pic above, so my sizes will reflect that.
• I took a very small handful of salt and put it in the bottom of the bottle.
• Using a funnel, I added 2/3 of aloe juice. Mine is from Trader Joes, but try any health store or online.
• Next, I added three drops of vanilla oil and half a teaspoon of carrier oil. Think jojoba, argan, or castor oil (coarse hair), or many more.
• Fill the rest of the bottle with filtered water, secure the top and shake.
• Spray damp or dry hair. Scrunch hair with an old tshirt to help with frizziness.

FYI:

• This works well to add texture and volume to hair.
• This spray is awesome for heat or no heat waves.
• If you have stick-straight hair, pretty much no spray will make it wavy, if you don't have natural wave to it, so that's why I suggest using this in conjunction to waves or curls.
• If you find your spray nozzle is clogged, shake your spray, and add more water, or consider skipping the oil. I have also added small, clean pebbles or rocks to help break up the spray. I also have poured a little into my hand and dispersed through hair.
• This will keep for a couple of months.
• Since salt is drying, be sure to use a good clarifying shampoo on hair to remove any residue and condition afterwards.
