DIY: Make your own sea salt spray

POSTED: Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 3:51 PM

I was in the salon last week for a haircut, and just as my stylish was about to finish up she asked if I'd ever tried sea salt spray. I told her I had and that I loved it, but it seemed like a too-frivolous addition to my already cluttered supply of hair products. She sprayed some from the sample bottle in my hair and it looked fantastic, but I was still leery of forking over the money for it. She can always do things to my hair that I'm never quite able to duplicate at home. "Well, you know you can make it on your own," she said. "It's really easy." Then I had a total "duh!" moment. How hard can it be to make sea salt spray. I can't believe I've never thought of that. Back at home I Googled "sea salt spray" and got a result from eHow.com that seems simple enough. All you need is a spray bottle, 3 tbsp. of sea salt (Dead Sea salt preferred) and 2 cups of mineral or spring water. The process goes like this:

Warm the water to just below boiling point
Add one tablespoon of sea salt at a time, stirring until it dissolves completely
Allow time for the mixture to cool
Pour it in a bottle and you're all set

See, it's easy as pie. And everyone's going to be dying to learn how you've kept that shore hair all winter long. Tell them you just woke up that way. It'll be our little secret. Wink!
