Eleven: Sea Salt Texture Spray - Review


Summer is almost here, better start getting those beachy waves controlled and styled to look natural and beautiful. Beachy hair no longer has to be synonymous with unkempt tresses with the new Sea Salt Texture Spray from ELEVEN Australia.

I'm a girl that suffers from dry ends from time to time. It can be a huge pain, as products tends to dry them out, and leaves my hair feeling like straw. Has anyone ever had the same problem?

SEA SALT TEXTURE SPRAY
RRP: $20.95

I came across Sea Salt Texture Spray from Eleven, it claims to condition your hair, while adding volume to create those gorgeously free waves. I couldn't say no to this one!
 
This product can be used on both wet or dry hair, I found it easier to apply while my hair was still damp, then finished it off with a blow dryer / diffuser to ensure the product was locking into my roots and not just sitting ontop of my hair. I get better results when doing that, also got extra volume from the texture inside the product! I was very amazed that I got beachy waves and volume all over.
 
Its suitable for all hair types, styles, and textures, the lightweight mist can be sprayed on the roots or ends of the hair depending on the need for volume or thickness. 
 
The best thing about Eleven Sea Salt is; it has active ingredients such as Hydrolysed Wheat Protein and Hydrolysed Wheat Starch serve to condition, vitalise and add volume to beach-worn hair, without sacrificing that natural charm.

Still effortlessly dishevelled, as one would expect at the beach, the spray adds density, natural body and liveliness. This product is perfect to create those beachy waves without dropping your hair into the ocean.

LUSH: BIG Sea Salt Shampoo - Review

BIG is a volumizing sea salt shampoo in a true sense, because it contains whole grains of sea salt. It basically looks like a rice-pudding-like base formula with big sea salt particles in it. The result of BIG is really shiny hair, full of volume, restored moisture and maintain healthy hair. The difference between BIG and other brands, is that BIG actually delivers what the other brands only promise.

BIG: Sea Salt Shampoo
330g
RRP: $26.95

I have been on a search for a shampoo product that honestly gives me lots of volume. I do have fairly thick black hair to begin with but I straighten my hair regularly and want the volume to last me more than a day. I have tried many other brands of shampoo and conditioner in the past and saw had no additional body or volume after using them.



The smell of the shampoo is kinda hard to describe because I personally cant think of any words that could compare it to, nor am I good at describing scents. However its rather nice, at least in my opinion, a kind of beachy fresh scent with a hint of ocean breeze.

I take the littlest amount of product into my hands and work it onto my scalp and crown. After I have worked the product onto my hair, add a dash of water that coats your head then work up a nice lather. It lathers up quite quickly and very thick, so take advantage while you can. It's very time consuming to really scrub your roots, but the more scrubbing, the better the results.



I love the sea salt in this mixture, really cleans and purifies the hair. My hair feels nice, looks shiny and smells great. most importantly has that extra voluminous. However; this should NOT be used as a daily shampoo! Depending on how oily your hair gets I would recommend using it once or twice (for extra oily hair) a week. I would absolutely recommend this shampoo to anyone looking to add volume, deep clean and make their hair last longer between shampoos.
