Ingredients

• 
  8
  ounces
  distilled
  water
  –
  Base
  for
  the
  spray
• 
  1
  teaspoon
  pink
  Himalayan
  salt
  or
  sea
  salt
  –
  Adds
  texture
  for
  beachy
  waves
• 
  1–2
  tablespoons
  100%
  pure
  argan
  oil
  –
  Moisturizes
  and
  prevents
  dryness
• 
  3–5
  drops
  essential
  oil
  (lemon
  or
  sweet
  orange)
  –
  Adds
  a
  fresh
  scent
• 
  Glass

  bottle
  –
  For
  storage
  and
  easy
  application

1️⃣
Heat
the
Water

Boil
8
ounces
of
distilled
water.
Warm
water
helps
dissolve
the
salt
properly,
making
sure
the
spray
mixes
evenly.
Once
the
water
is
hot,
move
on
to
the
next
step.

2️⃣
Dissolve
the
Salt

Add
1
teaspoon
of

pink
Himalayan
salt
or
sea
salt
to
the
hot
water.
Stir
well
until
the
salt
is
completely
dissolved.
If
the
salt
settles
at
the
bottom,
keep
stirring
until
the
water
turns
clear.
Salt
adds
texture
to
the
hair,
creating
that
perfect
beachy
wave
effect.

3️⃣
Add
the
Oil

Pour
in
1–2
tablespoons
of
100%
pure
argan
oil.
This
keeps
hair
soft
and
prevents
the
salt
from
drying
it
out.
Shake
or
stir
well
so
the
oil
mixes
evenly.

Argan
oil
is
known
for
its
moisturizing
properties
and
helps
give
hair
a
natural
shine
without
making
it
greasy.

4️⃣
Mix
in
Essential
Oils

Add
a
few
drops
of
lemon
or
sweet
orange
essential
oil
for
a
fresh
scent.

Essential
oils
also
nourish
hair
and
give
the
spray
a
light,
refreshing
fragrance.

Use
3–5
drops
depending
on
how
strong
you
want
the
scent
to
be.

5️⃣
Combine
Everything

Pour
the
mixture
into
a
glass
spray
bottle.
Plastic
bottles
can
break
down
over
time,
especially
when
mixed
with
essential
oils.
A
glass
bottle
keeps
the
spray
fresh
and
free
from
chemicals.

Shake
the
bottle
well
before
using
to
make
sure
all
ingredients
blend
together.

Can
Also
Customize
Your
Spray

hair
is
different,
so
your
spray

•

  Shine
  –
  Mix
  in
  a
  few
  drops
  of
  jojoba
  or
  coconut
  oil
  for
  a
  healthy
  glow.
•

  Scent
  –

  lemon
  for
  lavender,
  peppermint,
  or
  vanilla
  essential
  oil
  for

  new
  fragrance.

Shake
well
before
every
use
to
keep
the
ingredients
blended.

Extra
Tips
for
Perfect
Beach
Waves

Getting
the
best
beachy
waves
is
easy
with
a
few
simple
tricks:

• 
  Start
  with
  damp
  hair
  –
  Spray
  works
  best
  on
  towel-dried
  hair,
  not
  soaking
  wet
  or
  completely
  dry.
• 
  Scrunch
  your
  hair
  –
  Use
  your
  hands
  to
  squeeze
  and
  scrunch
  hair
  after
  spraying
  for
  more
  texture.
• 
  Let
  it
  air
  dry
  –
  Avoid
  using
  a
  blow
  dryer.
  Letting
  hair
  dry
  naturally
  gives
  the
  softest
  waves.
• 
  Use
  less
  for
  fine
  hair
  –
  A
  little
  goes
  a
  long
  way!
  Too
  much
  spray
  can
  make
  fine
  hair
  feel
  heavy.
• 
  Braid
  your
  hair
  before
  bed
  –
  For
  overnight
  waves,
  spray
  hair,
  braid
  it
  loosely,
  and
  sleep
  on
  it.

Common
Mistakes
to
Avoid

Even
the
best
spray
won’t
work
if
used
the
wrong
way.
Avoid
these
mistakes
for
perfect
beach
waves:

• 
  Using
  too
  much
  salt
  –
  Too
  much
  salt
  can
  make
  hair
  feel
  dry
  and
  stiff.
  Stick
  to
  1
  teaspoon
  per
  8
  oz
  of
  water.
• 
  Skipping
  the
  oil
  –
  Salt
  can
  dry
  out
  hair,
  so
  always
  add
  argan
  oil
  to
  keep
  it
  soft.
• 
  Not
  shaking
  before
  use
  –
  Oil
  and
  water
  don’t
  mix
  well.
  Shake
  the
  bottle
  before
  spraying
  to
  blend
  everything.
• 
  Spraying
  too
  close
  –
  Hold
  the
  bottle
  
  6–8
  inches
  away
  from
  hair
  for
  even
  coverage.
• 
  Applying
  to
  dry
  hair
  –
  Works
  best
  on
  damp
  hair.
  Dry
  hair
  won’t
  absorb
  the
  spray
  as
  well.

FAQs

Can
I
use
tap
water
instead
of
distilled
water?

Tap
water
has
minerals
and
chemicals
that
can
build
up
in
hair
over
time.

Distilled
water
is
the
best
choice
because
it’s
pure
and
helps
the
spray
last
longer.
If
tap
water
is
your
only
option,
boil
it
first
and
let
it
cool
before
using.

How
long
does
homemade
texturizing
spray
last?

The
spray
stays
fresh
for
about
1–2
months
if
stored
in
a
cool,
dry
place.
A
glass
bottle
helps
keep
it
fresh
longer.
If
it
starts
to
smell
bad
or
looks
cloudy,
make
a
new
batch.

Will
this
spray
work
on
straight
hair?

Yes!
Straight
hair
needs
extra
help
to
hold
waves.
Spray
on
damp
hair,
then
braid
or
twist
it
and
let
it
dry
before
undoing
the
braids.
A
curling
iron
after
spraying
can
also
help
waves
last
longer.

Can
I
use
this
spray
on
dyed
hair?

Yes,
but
use
it
carefully.
Salt
can
dry
out
dyed
hair,
which
is
already
more
fragile.
Add
extra
argan
oil
or
jojoba
oil
to
keep
it
soft
and
protect
the
color
from
fading.
