From Lauren: Today’s post is from Stephanie at Naturally Mindful. She shares an easy DIY Beach Waves Spray recipe so you can skip the chemical-laden (and expensive) sprays from the store!
Beach Waves without the ocean (or chemicals!)
I don’t know why messy hair is considered sexy hair, but everyone wants sexy beach waves this time of year! I thought I would never achieve the perfect beach waves; especially because I stopped using conventional hair products due to the harmful chemicals they contain. (Besides, they aren’t gentle on your hair, leaving you with dry, damaged hair.)
I embarked in a search for the perfect sea salt texturizing spray, much to my disappointment I realized that every recipe I came along included hair conditioner or hair gel, and what’s the purpose of a DIY natural product if it isn’t all-natural, right? And after a few trials I found a DIY Beach Waves Spray formula that offers the perfect hold and it is gentle on my hair.

Do you make your own hair care products? Do you love beachy waves?
Question…does it make your hair dull or oily looking? I have found that the natural diy leave in stuff either makes my hair dull looking or both dull and oily looking. I think I can deal with the oily but the dull makes it look dirty in my opinion.
Can scented Epsom salt be used instead of essential oil?
Im allergic to coconut anything, what else can I use?
