Beachy texture. Tousled waves. Effortless, just-back-from-the-coast hair. It’s not a fantasy—it’s a formula. And this summer, your go-to hair spray is none other than a sea salt texturizing spray.
Whether you're chasing instant volume, a heat-free styling routine, or that cool-girl grit that transforms any look, Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray is the hero you need. But it doesn’t stop there. NYM’s Beach Babe collection includes a full toolkit of beach-worthy texturizers to take you from casual cool to full-on glam.
Let’s break down how to get the most out of texturizing spray for hair and which formulas are best for your summer styling goals. Because summer styles need to keep up with your busy schedule and not slow you down.
Why Sea Salt Texturizing Spray Is a Summer Must-Have
If there were ever an MVP for summer hair tips, this would be it. Sea salt texturizing spray delivers that “I just spent the day surfing” vibe—even if your feet never left the pavement. It’s the ultimate volume boosting spray that adds separation, grip, and a matte finish.
It’s especially great for:
- Lightweight texture without weighing down strands
- Building volume at the roots
- Enhancing movement and body
- Supporting no heat styling days
- Keeping styles in place during heat + humidity
The Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray brings that iconic tousled vibe while infusing hair with subtle hold and soft texture.
How It Works: The Science of Beachy Texture
What exactly does a sea salt texturizing spray do?
In short: it adds grit. The salt creates a slightly rougher surface and more natural grip. This boosts volume and enhances movement, especially in straight or wavy textures. The NYM formula is made with sea salt, sea kelp, and sunflower seed extract to deliver that tousled hair look without crunch.
Bonus: the spray helps you get beachy waves without heat. Just spritz, scrunch, and let the summer air do the rest.

Step-by-Step: How to Use Sea Salt Spray for Maximum Volume
Learning how to use sea salt spray can unlock totally new styling options. Follow this quick step-by-step:
- Start with towel-dried hair (or lightly mist dry hair).
- Spray generously from mid-lengths to ends.
- Scrunch sections or twist into loose spirals.
- Let air dry or diffuse for extra bounce.
- Want more lift? Add volume boosting spray like Dry Texturizing Spray at the crown after drying.
Pro Tip: For straight hair, braid while damp after applying spray. Let dry completely and undo for soft beachy waves, no hot tools needed.
Best Hair Types for Sea Salt Spray (and How to Adapt for Yours)
Anyone can use sea salt texturizing spray, you just need to tailor the technique.
- Straight/Fine Hair: Use on damp hair, add dry texture spray after drying for max volume.
- Wavy Hair: Scrunch damp or dry hair with spray to amplify natural pattern.
- Curly Hair: Use NYM’s Beach Babe Foam—a no heat styling alternative that enhances curls without added salt, plus offers hydration, shine, and UV protection.
Ingredients That Make a Difference (And Ones to Avoid)
Ingredients matter. Choose sprays that balance grit with care.
What to look for:
- Sea salt – Adds grip and volume
- Aloe vera + sea kelp – Moisturizes and soothes
- Sunflower extract – Adds natural softness + UV protection
Avoid:
- Harsh alcohols – Can overly dry hair
- Heavy silicones – Weigh hair down or block absorption
- Parabens – Unnecessary preservatives in clean formulas
The Beach Babe collection is made with effective formulas that deliver results without damage.
Day-to-Night Styling with One Product
Sea salt spray isn’t just for air-dried waves. Here’s how it works around the clock (Psst we have a travel size available too):
Daytime: Spray into damp or dry hair and scrunch for undone texture.
Nighttime: Apply to dry strands to give updos or braids grip and hold. Add a few spritzes before putting hair up in a top knot or claw clip so your style will hold better and have more shape.
Second-day style? Refresh roots with Beach Babe Dry Shampoo (aerosol or powder), add more spray mid-length to ends, and re-tousle for that just-left-the-beach revival.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Sea Salt Texturizing Spray
To get the most out of your spray, steer clear of these common mistakes:

❌ Using too much on dry hair – can lead to stiffness or crunch
✅ Use on damp hair first, then touch up dry if needed
❌ Using it daily without conditioning – overuse can lead to dryness
✅ Rotate in leave-ins or use salt-free options like Beach Babe Foam
❌ Expecting long-term hold – sea salt sprays give light texture, not gel-level hold
✅ Layer with your favorite styler or Dry Texturizing Spray when you need extra structure
