How to Use Reset Sea Salt Spray (And Actually Get the Most Out of It)

Sea salt spray is one of those products that sounds simple but makes a massive difference when you use it right. And when you use it wrong? Crunchy, stiff hair that looks like you've just got back from a week at the beach. Not the vibe.

Reset Sea Salt Spray is designed to give you that natural, textured finish without the stiffness. Think effortless, not overdone. Here's everything you need to know to get it right.

What Does Sea Salt Spray Actually Do?

Before we get into the how-to, it's worth knowing what's actually happening when you use it.

Sea salt spray works by adding texture and grip to your hair. The salt draws out a bit of moisture, which creates that natural wave and volume you'd normally only get from a day at the coast. It's a lightweight product, so it won't weigh your hair down or leave it feeling heavy.

The key thing to understand: sea salt spray enhances what's already there. Got natural waves or a bit of curl? It'll bring those out. Got straight hair? It'll add movement and stop it looking flat.

Reset is also vegan, sulphate-free, and made here in the UK, so you're not putting anything harsh near your scalp. That matters.

How to Use Reset Sea Salt Spray

This works best on damp hair, so get your timing right.

Step 1: Start with a Towel-Dried Hair

After washing, towel dry your hair so it's damp but not dripping. That's your sweet spot. Too wet and the product gets diluted. Too dry and it won't absorb properly.

Step 2: Shake the Bottle

Give it a proper shake before each use. The formula needs to be mixed to work at its best.

Step 3: Spray from a Distance

Hold the bottle about 15-20cm from your head and spray evenly across your hair. Don't just blast one spot. Work your way around, getting the roots and the lengths.

• Short hair: 3-4 sprays is usually enough

• Medium length hair: 4-6 sprays

• Longer hair: build up as needed, but don't overdo it

Step 4: Scrunch or Tousle

This is where the magic happens. Scrunch your hair upwards with your hands to encourage texture and wave. If you've got straighter hair, just run your fingers through it and tousle it loosely.

Don't brush it. That'll undo everything you just did.

Step 5: Let It Dry Naturally (or Diffuse)

For the best result, let your hair air dry. If you're in a rush, use a diffuser on a low heat setting. Avoid blasting it with a standard hairdryer on high, as that'll kill the texture.

Pro tip: once it's dry, you can add a small amount of Mindset Matte Clay on top for extra hold and definition. The two work brilliantly together.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A few things that'll ruin the result:

• Using it on dry hair - you'll get uneven distribution and a crunchy finish

• Using too much - more is not more with sea salt spray. Build up gradually

• Brushing after application - kills the texture instantly

• Skipping the scrunch - this step is what activates the wave and volume

Get those right and you're sorted.
