One of the coolest uses of salt is to mix is with water and essential oils to achieve that sough after "Beach Hair". I have never tried it with salt but I have used the sprays they sell {very fancy I know!!!} but have always wondered what it would look like to try one of those recipes {Recipe 1, Recipe 2, Recipe 3}.

Have a great day and remember that there's more than one way to do things!
