We'll be honest, when we first heard about this surge of salt sprays hitting the grooming market, we figured they were strictly for the ladies. The ones who wanted "sexy, windswept day-at-the-beach hair that looks like you just took a dip in the sea." But it turns out, these salt-infused sprays work for men too. And plenty of guys (and their hairstylists) are using them for what they're really intended for: adding texture and volume to hair while absorbing excess oil.
You see, these salty sprays do a lot more than you'd think. They're infused with lots of good ingredients which soak up grease and other bad stuff, while also giving your hair a nice boost. Hair that's been spritzed gets this subtle texture and separation, along with an increase of volume and depth. It enhances natural curls and lifts up lifeless straight hair. Which is why the sprays are suddenly everywhere. We've tested a handful and picked four of the absolute best to add to your grooming arsenal. No matter your need, there's one to suit your hair.
How to Use It
Spritz it lightly throughout towel-dried damp hair and scrunch your locks for a more natural, tousled look. Or even comb it through to ensure a more polished look, then muss it up for a less defined, textured style. The salt offers a light-to-medium hold and can be used to give dry hair extra volume or to act as a dry shampoo between washes.
