Davines This Is A Sea Salt Spray, Light Hold Beachy Waves & Texture - Adds Gritty Texture & Volume for Tousled Looks - Matte Finish, 8.45 Fl Oz

I have spent the last 15 years trying to find a good sea salt spray for my hair. Though my hair is thick, it is very fine, so it can dry out easily. It also tends to never hold any kind of style I want unless I put in a dozen products. This product gave me very natural waves, and it in no way gave me the straw texture that is common in most salt sprays. It is literally perfect if you want a natural, beachy, wavy, tousled, or slightly curly hair.Being as it provides me with the natural feeling with the look, it is my favorite out of any I have ever tried. I feel it is necessary for me to emphasize I have tried many, many different salt sprays.My only issue with this product is that even though my hair is fine, I still have to use a lot due to the thickness. This means one bottle lasts me about a month, so it gets really expensive. Being as I like to order from the original retailer, I decided to figure out how much it was from them. It's the same exact price, but you have to pay shipping. It was about $7 for shipping, so if you can afford that, it would be amazing of you to support small businesses like that.I can barely afford the $28 a month for one bottle, so I need to look for something else. I wish I could have a dozen bottles of this, and I'd be good. However, it's life. Not everyone can afford $28 a month every month for a year. I'm not sure if the amount I have to use is specific only to me, but if you're looking for something more affordable I would suggest you buy a bottle of Hair Chemist macadamia oil with it. Any oil like it will last a long time, so don't go cheap on it otherwise it won't do the job. I know Hair Chemist was limited edition, so I'm not sure if it's still available. I have tried many different oils on my hair, and this was the best when using cheap salt sprays. On dry hair you take a small comb, section off portions of your ends, and apply a dab of the macadamia oil to each section. You then comb it through your ends. Only your ends, or you will have greasy looking hair. I suggest you let your ends soak it up, so maybe it's something best applied when you have a few hours. Afterwards, salt sprays do not dry out your hair, or at least fry the ends of your hair. This method has been unnecessary with this salt spray, which makes hair care a lot easier.If you are going to get this product, I have a method that works amazing to achieve the best look. I use a spray bottle to get my hair somewhere between damp and wet, and set a towel on the back of my couch. I then rest my head on this towel to keep my couch from getting wet, and spray the salt spray all over. I then let it air dry until it's either dry or damp. If you don't have a lot of time on your hands, using a hair dryer is effective as long as you've given your hair time to dry a little bit. It seems like it needs to soak up the salt spray before you start with the blow dryer. This product does not work on dry hair, so don't waste your time trying that.If I could afford it, I would buy this every month. The smell is very natural, and barely noticeable. It fades within a few hours of applying. I love the look it gives me, and I love how it doesn't dry out my hair. It's amazing.My only issue is I can't afford $28 a month, when there are other options for $10 to $15 for the same ounces. I don't like that I need to use so much of this product to get my look. If you have thick hair that isn't fine like mine, and can afford it, buy two bottles. You are going to love what it does to your hair, how effortless it is, and you will want to have it in your hair everyday.Literally ignore every negative review saying this product makes your hair feel like straw, the scent is bad, or whatever else someone has to complain about. None of that is true. I have been using this for 6 months, and not once have I experienced any of what those people have said.I'm going to still give this five stars, because I would buy it every month if I could afford it.
