TONI & GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray

Last week I showed you the TONI & GUY products I received as part of the latest word of mouth Bzz campaign featuring TONI & GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe – a complete range of haircare and styling products to help you express your personal style.

I’ve been trying them out over the last few days and the first one I’d like to tell you about is the Sea Salt Texturising Spray which is from the Casual Collection. The spray is can be applied to damp or dry hair to add texture and body and create a tousled, wavy beach look with light hold. I have quite long hair which is mostly straight with a few random waves and kinks, though it does have quite a curl at the ends! I don’t like to have to spend a lot of time on my hair and actually salt sprays were a favourite product of mine last summer as it is so easy to simply scrunch into your hair and go!

I tried the Sea Salt Texturising Spray first of all on my damp hair, about six sprays all over, then plaited it and left it to dry naturally. The spray has a gorgeous fresh scent to it, it makes me think of when you go to a salon and they use all their professional products on your hair. After letting my hair dry, it did have a nice wave to it but not really much texture. My hair was still quite shiny and soft, which is great if you want a shiny soft look but not great when you’re aiming for beachy waves.

So today, bearing this in mind, on my “day two” hair I sprayed straight onto my dry hair, again about six sprays all over, and gave it a good scrunch. This, combined with the waves created from the plait the day before, gave a much better look: the beach style I was aiming for with lots of texture and movement. The light hold in the spray certainly does the job as the waves have held all day despite me rushing about. I reckon that the waves will hold tomorrow as well, I’ll just give my hair another spray’n’scrunch and hopefully I’ll be good to go!

TONI & GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray comes in a 200ml bottle and can be bought from Boots for £7.19, although I received this product as a sample through the Bzz campaign. There are cheaper sea salt styling products out there that create a similar look but because this spray also holds your style you don’t then need to use a separate hairspray; I think that makes it pretty good value for money.

Have you got any tips to help me create a wavy beach look? Or do you prefer a more classic style?
