We love spending time at the lake! Of course, a Hawaiian beach would be my first choice, but we don’t have those in Idaho. So a lake it is! My hair takes a long time to dry, so I usually try to avoid getting it wet. Turns out that is impossible when you practice AcroYoga with your husband on a paddle board haha. Yeah I got drenched. In salt water, my hair gets a lot of texture and I can usually coax a little wave out of it, but without that salt, I just get the flat wet dog look. Sounds amazing, right? No. Thankfully, I have a hair product from the KMS Hair Play line called sea salt spray. It brings the salty beach texture right to you. I spray this on my hair as it dries and it helps me get more texture and movement into my limp locks. One tip I’ll tell you that I do is avoid brushing your hair with anything, including your fingers. It feels uncomfortable sometimes, like you have giant knots all over your head, but it looks way better I promise. The exception to this is if you have a lot of natural texture already built in (lucky) and brushing your hair out doesn’t cause it to flatten out. Spray it in, scrunch a lot, and don’t run your fingers through it. Once it is mostly dry, I like to spray in some wax to add even more texture. My favorite spray wax, going on five years now, is flip it over by Sexy Hair. I also use this after I curl my hair to add separation. Just like the name says, flip your head over and lightly spray it over your hair, then scrunch again. Don’t use too much or you will be a sticky mess and might as well head back into the lake to start over ha
Enjoy!
