| Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray |
Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray ($12.00 USD / 8 oz) is a texturizing spray promising beachy waves.
Packaging: [3.2/4.0]
Packaging is the generic plastic spray bottle. The screw on portion may not be as tight, as you can see from pictures, the products leaked a bit.
Formulation: [3.5/4.0]
The spray mostly smells like coconuts and pina coladas, but I still detected a hint of plastic scent underneath. I like that the second ingredient is sea salt. Because there are products out there where the one ingredient they make a selling point for is at the bottom of the list. (Did you know that ingredients are listed in the order of quantity used?)
Application: [2.3/4.0]
Applying the product is very self-explanatory. You spray onto dry/damp/clean hair at you preference, and then scrunch away, or you can blow dry. I chose to scrunch and air dry.
The product does dry fairly quickly, so you do need to work quickly.
This product's downside is that you need a LOT of product to get the beach wave result. From the pictures down below, I actually tied most of my hair back so you can't see, and I only tested out a section of it. When the directions say "mist generously," they really DO mean generously!
Also, I have noticed that even though the product washes out, it left my hair feeling a little...thirsty.
Longevity: [3.0/4.0]
My waves died down after 45 minutes. My friend's beachy waves did last a bit more than half of the day (if you apply enough product that is). If you have longer or heavier hair, your hair will tousle out after awhile, giving a better "beachy" appearance.
My hair is notoriously stubborn; curls last a maximum of 1 hour before becoming semi-waves.

I use this before blow drying and get far better results! I like to use it daily for texturizing before curling with an iron, too. I agree that you must add a GENEROUS amount!
ReplyDeleteOh really...I'll try again with a blow drier then! Thanks for the tip!
DeleteI have plenty of texture naturally hahaha But i keep hearing about these sea salt sprays! Maybe try the one by Bumble & Bumble? Seems popular.
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about B&B as I was typing the review! :D
Deleteyou have beautiful long hair! My hair has a hard time holding its curl too and I have to use a lot of heat and product in order for it to stay curly but I hate that heavy feeling.
ReplyDeleteThank you! (It will be short soon! I will be growing it a bit more then donating :))
Deleteyou have beautiful hair, lady! I have this texturizer, too and love the smell. I agree that it's not a miracle product because the results aren't that dramatic. Their dry shampoo is my absolutely favorite, though! I'm on my 3rd can and I almost never buy the same thing twice! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :D Ohh...I definitely have to check out their dry shampoo then! Thanks for the info! :)
