MIY Corner: Beachy Salt Spray

Hey Lovelies! Another MIY Corner post for you today. 

Since summer seems to be on its way I thought it was about time I started thinking about beaches and fun summery tutorials. This one seemed a simple one to do (I've had a busy week!) 
I love the way my hair looks when I use this. I have naturally quite curly hair but a friend of mine has quite straight hair and she loves the effect this recipe gives her hair! 

Let's get straight into it!
What you need!


You will need:
- 1 cup hot water
- 1-2 teaspoons sea salt (use more if you want a beachier look)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, argan oil (or any hair oil) or 1/2 tbsp of each
- 1/2 teaspoon of pomade or water-based gel (normal gel will work I just find it leaves my hair a little              crunchy) 
- You can also add 1/2 tsp of leave-in conditioner for better feeling hair.
- A spray bottle (I reused a hair spritz bottle I had but dollar stores and pharmacies will stock these new)
- A bowl for mixing (although it's probably easier to mix straight in the bottle!)

Method: 
Add your oils to the water
- Place one cup of hot water in your bowl or bottle
- Add salt, oil/s and gel (and conditioner) and mix well (screw on the cap and shake if mixing in the bottle)
Add salt...

And that's all there is to it! Simple right?
...and gel
I will say though, shake it before each use and also I wouldn't                   recommend using too often as the salt can be very drying for your hair, especially if it is fine. 

   Let me know how you get on with this recipe and how your beachy          styles turn out!

Mix and pour into your bottle!!! Et Voila!
