Beach Beauty: Part Deux

So I'm a bit later than intended with my results of the beach hair. But, alas, the results are in!

I definitely think the homemade spray helped! The sea salt and gel help to give hair that "dirty" texture hair needs to hold a style appropriately. However, with MY hair, I was not able to get the beachy waves by simply spraying and scrunching. I WAS, however, able to incorporate my old favorite technique: the diffuser. If you've never used a diffuser on your hair dryer, you're missing out. It's the device you attach to the nozzle of the dryer and has the little prongs which blow the air through and underneath your hair: you know, "diffusing" the air? :)

I sprayed my hair with my homemade beach spray. I actually got my hair pretty evenly wet. It wasn't just a light must, but my hair wasn't soaking wet. Then, I flipped my hair upside down and began diffusing. Now, when I dry my hair this way, I keep a bottle of firm hold hairspray close by. As I'm running my diffuser through my tresses, I also spray some hairspray over the hair I'm lifting. This helps to hold the hair in the "scrunched" position. Then, I pin a little section of the sides back to keep it out of my face, give a quick all over spray of hairspray, and you're done!

Unfortunately, I am having to post from my mobile device and it isn't letting me add a picture. But I will update the post ASAP and show you the final product.

All in all, I will definitely keep using the homemade beach spray. I definitely think it makes the stylin go faster and hold better. So, give it a try and let me know what you think!
