Buying advice

When choosing a sea salt spray, consider your hair type: fine hair needs a lightweight, volumizing spray; thick hair handles stronger hold. Budget options work well for occasional use, but pricier ones often have better ingredients and less drying effects. Avoid sprays with alcohol if you have dry or color-treated hair.
