Pink salt hairspray is a simple DIY styling spray for adding texture and creating relaxed, beach-inspired waves. This recipe combines pink salt crystals with aloe vera juice, filtered water, and essential oils. The mixture is easy to prepare, but salt-based sprays may leave hair feeling dry, so start with a small amount and see how your hair responds.
Pink Salt Hairspray Ingredients and Supplies
Gather the ingredients and tools before mixing. A funnel makes it easier to add the salt to the bottle without spilling.
- 1 cup pink salt crystals
- 1/2 cup aloe vera juice
- 1.5 cups filtered water
- Six drops of lavender essential oil
- Six drops of sweet orange essential oil
- A spray bottle
- A funnel
Choose a spray bottle with enough capacity for the ingredients and room to shake the mixture. Use aloe vera juice suitable for topical use, and check the bottle instructions before adding ingredients.
How to Make Pink Salt Hairspray
- Place the funnel in the opening of the empty spray bottle.
- Add 1 cup of pink salt crystals.
- Pour in six drops each of lavender and sweet orange essential oils.
- Add 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice and 1.5 cups of filtered water.
- Close the bottle securely and shake to combine the ingredients.
The aloe-to-water proportion is 1 part aloe vera juice to 3 parts filtered water. Keep that ratio if adjusting the liquid amount to suit your bottle. The essential oils provide fragrance, while aloe vera juice is included as a moisturizing ingredient; the finished spray may still feel drying because it contains salt.
How to Use and Store the Spray
Shake the bottle before each use. Pink salt may gradually dissolve over time, and the mixture can remain pink even as the crystals break down. Spray a light amount onto damp or dry hair, then scrunch or tousle it to encourage a textured, undone look. For air-dried waves, apply the spray before letting your hair dry naturally.
Use the spray sparingly at first, especially if your hair or scalp tends to feel dry. Avoid spraying near your eyes, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If you notice salt settling or the spray nozzle becoming clogged, shake the bottle and check the nozzle before applying more product.
Conclusion
This pink salt hairspray recipe uses a short list of ingredients to create a textured styling spray for beach-inspired waves. Follow the stated measurements, shake before each use, and adjust how much you apply based on how your hair feels. — Elsie
