   Add some sea salt flakes to the spray bottle. It is recommended that you grind the flakes between your fingers a little first, as this will help them to dissolve faster.

   • Depending on how little or much water your bottle will hold, add a suitable amount of salt: as a rough guide, use about 4 oz for every 8oz water. You can use more for an even more beachy look.

   Add the conditioner. Use about 1/2 a teaspoon for every 8 oz water, or a little more if your hair is naturally very dry. However, don't use too much, otherwise it will not mix properly with the water.

   • Be sure to use leave-in conditioner rather than a traditional conditioner formula, as traditional formulas aren't meant to be left-in (and will create dryness and build-up).

   Add essential oil, if using. If you want, throw in an essential oil of your choice. These are great for sensitive scalps, and your hair. Or, you could use cold chamomile tea instead, which will lighten your hair over time. Use about 1 teaspoon.

   • Always check the contra-indications of essential oils before using, just to be safe.

   Apply as required. The great thing about this spray is that it can be used on damp or dry hair.

   • Soaking hair isn't suitable as the spray will probably just drip off.

   Spray all over your hair and scrunch it in - then, if wished, sit in the sun to let the chamomile tea work, if added. This means it's great to use at the beach when you come out of the sea, if you don't get beachy waves naturally.
