5 Ways to Use Sea Salt for Your Hair

Textured hair is diverse, including women who have thick, thin, tight, loose, wavy, coily, and springy and even a mass of coils, curls, and waves in one head. We love turning to nature for our hair care needs and what it can do for our curls. It has only been within the last decade that curls got a lot of attention from manufactures and hair care companies. We’ve had to enlist nature for many of our hair care needs, and although many companies have jumped on the curly girl bandwagon as viable consumers, we still love what Mother Nature can do for our coils, curls, and waves.

One such wonder from Mother Nature is sea salt or sodium chloride. It is produced by the evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes. Depending upon the actual water source after a little processing, there are certain trace minerals and elements left behind and they add flavor and color to sea salt, according to Katherine Zeratsky. Sea salt is different from table salt in taste, texture, and processing. The darker the sea salt the higher the concentration of “impurities” and trace nutrients.

Sea salt is great for exfoliation, as it can remove dead skin cells from your scalp. This encourages peripheral blood circulation and helps in skin or scalp renewal. Many use it as a natural remedy for treating psoriasis and dandruff. Sea salt is also great for absorbing excess oils from hair and scalps. It is used quite often for volume and bounce, hence why it is associated with big, beach waves or beach hair. Big, voluminous hair and exfoliation are the two main reasons this is a popular resource and now here are top products with sea salt that you should consider.
