Beachy Waves...

I have longed for those beachy waves.. 

mostly I am disappointed by the cheap

mixtures you can buy at the drugstore... 

so I have been thinking of a splurge.. 

something like bumble and bumble's surf spray.. 

but at $23 for 4oz.. 

I haven't got it yet.. 

Instead...

I thought I would try making my own first.. 

I found a few different recipes online.. 

what I ended up using was this one.. 

8 oz water

2 tablespoons sea salt

1 teaspoon gel

2-3 teaspoons of conditioner

I made it for just about $3..

plus I have tons of salt left.. 

I just used conditioner and gel I had around..

but a coconut conditioner would have smelt lovely.. 

It worked nicely I thought.. 

I twisted my hair while I dried it.. 

and used a curling iron to touch up some of the curls..  

But it held nicely...

which I have trouble getting curls to stay usually.. 

and it feels nice and soft still.. 

great bonus.. 

Needless to say.. 

I will be saving $20!
