Toni and Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray : Review (love!)
Written by: Swati on:
You
would agree with me when I say that no one woman is ever satisfied with
the way she looks, yeah?
Eye colour, complexion, hair type, nose shapes, fingers and what not! It is funny really :D
Now,
I have straight hair with recent slightly wavy ends (I do not know how). Some
of you must be thinking... “well that is
lovely” but being stuck with it every
single day makes it so boring! I also find it very difficult to style it since
the pins/clips/buns hardly stay put.
To
top that I am not much of a hair product junkie. I have just a couple that I
use and mostly it is just wash and go for me (a 10 min blow dry too...sadly frequently).
It
had been a long time I was eyeing the Toni and Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising
Spray and when it went discount of Flipkart a while back, I just had to get
hold of it! And boy! (umm...girl :P) I am so glad that I did. If you remember then I mentioned it in my last Hooked Onto post :)
The
first impression of the bottle is...love. Now, I know that looks aren’t everything
but hey, how often do you pick something up just because it looks good?
The
bottle has a matte rubbery finish and the colour is lovely too. It has a spritz-er which makes it very easy to spray the product
evenly.
Overall,
the bottle looks pretty and chic.
And
I am realising now that this post might sound like a rave :D Sorry!
So,
apart from the look, what else did I love initially? The fragrance! This
stuff smells amazing! Salty, fresh
and beachy. It just reminds me of everything marine and a fun Summer holiday!
You have to sniff it, seriously! (I spent
10 minutes sniffing it again before writing this paragraph...it is addictive like that
:D)
I
have been using it for a few months now, and I really like it. You can apply it to damp or dry hair
whichever you prefer. It does not weigh
down the hair or leave any obvious residue (though your fingers do need to
be washed thoroughly after you are done) and it does not make the hair hard/crunchy.
In
my opinion, it works much better on damp
hair (towel dried). Here is how this fab thing has worked for me :
· Spray it evenly over damp hair and
blow dry upside down = decent volume to my otherwise limp hair.
·
Spray it over a day old/mildly greasy
hair (concentrating a bit more near the base...not exactly at the roots I mean)
= Revamps 2nd day hair to a certain extent. Now you can last one more day without the
shampoo.
·
Spray it evenly through damp hair,
concentrating on the lengths, divide the hair into sections, twist it up and
let it dry. (or blow-dry if you are in a hurry) = pretty tousled, textured, beachy waves.
·
Spray it over dry hair, work it in
with fingers to create some texture = can finally make buns/braids on my hair!!
The last two ways have to be my favourite ways of using it! Without this, simple things like braids and buns would just fall/slip out on my natural hair. Now I can finally make some good styles and it is so much easier to make buns and braids stay in place thanks to all the texture it gives.
I
should probably tell you that just spraying it will not give you a pretty
textured look. You would need to work with your hair, twist it, scrunch it, tease
it...mess it up. And it can really enhance your look (waves/curls) giving you a
sexy lived in look, or fun tousled hair.
Like all sea salt sprays, this too is a bit drying on the hair, so avoid frequent use and moisturize you hair nicely every once in a while. And you might find this a bit overpriced...it is mainly just salt spray.
Price : 900 INR for 200 ml
The
Verdict?
I
really like how it works for my hair. Though this is the first sea salt texturising
spray I have tried and I have nothing to compare it with (not many are available
in India)
It
is a saviour on lazy days when I do not want to heat style my hair, but still
want a nice hair look. Perfect quick fix.
If
you are a fan of the casual beachy waves and softly textured hair, you should
go ahead and give this a try.
Why
save beach hair just for the summer when you can have it all year round? :)
P.S. Have you used any other sea salt sprays? Any suggestions?
