Summer has well and truly been and gone but despite the drab weather that's currently spreading across the UK, there's no need to say goodbye to sexy, beachy hair just yet. As a student, sometimes I can be strapped for time and a great way to create effortless volume, body and texture is to use a salt spray.
The Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray* is an absolute classic. It's the original. The best. And it's without a doubt a wonderful product. A few spritzes into wet hair and a quick blast of the hair-dryer will transform your locks from dull to "beach-perfection" in an instant. At £21.50 it's pricey but if you're not willing to splash out and invest just yet, they do offer a 50ml alternative which retails for £9.50.
Since the explosion of the salt spray, many different brands have brought out alternative (and much more affordable) options. Umberto Giannini’s Glam Hair Tousled Salt Spray* requires a bit more work but as it retails for £5.61, the extra effort is worth it. A similar concept to Bumble and Bumble's offering; a couple of spritzes into the hair, a blast of the hair-dryer and a tiny bit of hot iron curling and you're good to go for the day.
The better of the two? Nothing comes close to Bumble and Bumble's version in my opinion - it's so effortless - but when Umberto Giannini's offering saves you £15.89, it's hard to resist a good bargain. You can buy the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray here and the Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Tousled Salt Spray here.
