We may not live near the ocean, but you can trick your hair into thinking you do. Below is a DIY recipe for Beach Babe Hairspray courtesy of Strawberry Hedgehog local, vegan, luxury body products. Beach Babe Hair Spray

1 cup warm distilled water

3 tsp sea salt

5 drops essential oils of your choice

chamomile = blondies

rosemary = brunettes

lemon = red heads

lavender = all hair types

Stir the salt into the warm water until it dissolves, pour it into your clean spray bottle. Add the essential oils, shake it up and it is ready to use. Spray this all over slightly damp hair and work into roots. Let it air dry and use your fingers to pick up the roots, scrunch, and twist to make ringlets or use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment. This works great for added texture, volume and natural hold.
