How to Use Salt Water Vanilla Wave Spray for Beachy Waves

Quick answer

Apply Salt Water Vanilla Wave Spray to damp hair, scrunch, and air-dry or diffuse for soft, beachy waves without the crunch.

How to apply Salt Water Vanilla Wave Spray for beachy waves

1. Start with damp, towel-dried hair: Wash or wet your hair, then gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel. Hair should be damp, not dripping, to allow the spray to distribute evenly. Common mistake: applying to bone-dry hair can cause uneven texture and frizz. Damp hair helps the product absorb and define waves.
2. Spray generously onto mid-lengths and ends: Hold the bottle 6–8 inches from your hair and mist evenly from the ears down. Focus on the lengths and ends, where you want wave formation, and avoid the roots to prevent a greasy look. Checkpoint: if you have fine hair, start with 3–4 sprays and add more if needed. Over-saturating can weigh hair down.
3. Scrunch and shape with your hands: Cup sections of hair in your palms and gently scrunch upward toward the scalp. Repeat 4–5 times to encourage curl clumps and wave formation. For extra definition, twist small sections around your finger. Common mistake: scrunching too aggressively can break up wave patterns. Use a light, cupping motion.
4. Let hair air-dry or diffuse on low heat: For a relaxed look, allow hair to air-dry completely without touching it. For more volume and faster drying, use a diffuser on low heat and low speed, hovering over sections without disturbing the waves. Checkpoint: avoid touching or brushing hair while it dries—this disrupts the wave formation and can cause frizz.
5. Finish with a light shake or finger comb: Once hair is fully dry, gently flip your head and shake out the roots with your fingers. If needed, lightly mist with water to reactivate waves the next day. Common mistake: brushing out the waves completely. Use fingers only to separate and soften, preserving the texture.
