Herbivore Botanicals Sea Salt Spray Review

by

In my family we have a huge name pull for Christmas. Having such a big family makes it a little hard to know what to buy anyone for the holidays or birthdays. Even if we only have to find something for the one person. I have always loved to get beauty products for the girls in my family because they are all so hard working. We all love to pamper ourselves from time to time, but it’s pretty typical for the women in my family to ignore their own needs and focus on others. I like to give them an excuse to use a product on themselves. It’s a great way for them to take time for themselves and relax!

It is also an opportunity to introduce more natural products into their lives. I have never been good at focusing on getting more natural products myself, but the more I learn about beauty products the more I want to make the change. The main issue with this is that they are typically more expensive. In recent years natural products have become very popular and therefore much more common! You can actually find a lot more products at better prices because they aren’t as much of a specialty product. This is opening a lot of doors!

The reason I like the idea of natural products when I’m giving people gifts is because there are a few people in my family who are really sensitive. My aunt is extremely sensitive and has some pretty severe allergies to certain products. Her top two major allergies are with latex and aloe. Latex is a problem more with balloons at birthday parties, not something I come across in beauty products. But aloe is in so many beauty products! The product of this review is not something I would buy for her because it does contain aloe.

The main thing about the natural products is the fact that since it is a natural product, there is a very simple and straightforward list of ingredients. This makes it really easy to identify problematic ingredients. So because of this I wanted to look into a product on our list of the 10 Best Sea Salt Sprays of 2018. I want to see if the Herbivore Botanicals Sea Salt Spray is the type of product I would consider buying for myself and for others!

Things to Consider When Trying Herbivore Sea Salt Spray

To know whether I want to get this product for myself or other people, I need to know everything about it. I like to know what it is for, if it is geared towards my needs, as well as all the benefits and side effects that this product might have! This is an important step I do with most of my personal products, or just any shopping that I do in general. I like to do some research to find out if this is a good, or even the best product, in its price range and for the type of product that it is. So since I know this can be a really time consuming process, I wanted to do it for you and lay out the different key factors of this product!

What Look is Created: This is a very simple product and it can create an easy look. It is the type of hair product that enhances the natural body and style in your hair. It adds some texture and brings out the waves and curls that your hair naturally has. This can even be used to scrunch straight hair and add extra body and texture that your hair normally lacks.

How to Use: In the directions it says that all you have to do is spray a good amount of this product into wet or dry hair. Through more research, a lot of people say is more recommended to use this in damp hair because it keeps the product from becoming stringy and crunchy. Once you’ve sprayed the product into your hair you can evenly distribute it and run your fingers through, or even scrunch your hair. This will promote waves and body. Then all you need to do is let your hair dry naturally and go! Some people have even spritzed this onto their roots before blow drying their hair to give them more volume on top without teasing or having to use a chemical hairspray.

Type of Hair: This can be used on any type of hair! It will most certainly look different depending on the type of your hair. Whether you have naturally curly, wavy or straight hair is going to tell you what your hair will probably look like after using this product. It is something that can add more body to your straight hair though because you can spray and scrunch and break up that normally lifeless condition of your hair. People with really thin and flat hair seem to enjoy this product because they can spice up their look in a really natural way, without damaging it with heat or chemicals.

Multiple Hair Benefits: This product has aloe in it, so the normally drying effect that the sea salt has is balanced out with a naturally moisturizing ingredient! Other than that, it is 100% vegan. This is awesome because it is totally natural, cruelty free and you won’t be damaging your hair with a lot of harsh chemicals.

This actually has skin benefits too! You can spray it on your face or body to hydrate your skin and give it a little boost of hydration!

Long Term Side Effects: Despite the aloe, constant use of this product may end up drying out your hair. If you only use it a few times a week, rather than every single day, you can avoid this issue pretty easily!

Scent: Herbivore has a beautiful coconut vanilla scent that everyone seems to love! Some say it can be a little overbearing in the very beginning, but when it dries it ends up not being strong enough. So as long as you love the smell of coconut you should really love this product. I personally like a product that doesn’t have a very strong smell. Then I can wear perfume without clashing smells!

Who Should Buy This Product

If you are the on-the-go type of person who needs a really simple way to get ready for the day, this could be a great addition to your routine. It also isn’t just great for your classy everyday lady, it is something men should really consider trying out as well! I know a lot of guys who totally shy away from hair products because they don’t want to spend a lot of time in the bathroom or look like they tried too hard. They end up cutting their hair and keeping their style super simple so they don’t have to bother with it. But this could be a really easy way for any guy to grow their hair out a little while still keeping it manageable. They won’t look overdone, unkept or flat. They can give their hair body and texture in a few easy sprays!

Who Shouldn’t Buy This Product

Obviously, people like my aunt would definitely want to steer clear of this product for allergy reasons. I would recommend everyone to look into ingredient lists if they have similar allergy issues! Other than that, I should tell you that this doesn’t work for everyone. It seemed to me to work really well or at least moderately well for about 80-85% of the people who reviewed it. No product is perfect though! It might take a whole lot of product to get it to really penetrate thicker or coarser ethnic hair. It also works really well to contain frizz for most, but this will also not work perfectly for everyone either and may actually create more frizz depending on your hair type. So this is definitely a trial and error type of product and you won’t know whether it will work for you until you try it!

This is also a more expensive product. It’s more bang for your buck to buy the larger size, because the price is better per ounce, but it also is more money spent on a single product. I don’t really like to spend a lot on something when I don’t know it’s going to work for me personally. I know that other people can have a similar issue with the price and all I can really recommend is that you should try out a more affordable brand. It probably won’t have the same benefits, but you can at least see how it might work for you and decide whether you would want to buy a more beneficial and natural version like Herbivore!

Features and Benefits 

So to give you a little better idea of the individual perks to this product I wanted to make another list for you! While this might not seem so necessary for such a simple product, that’s actually kind of why we’re doing it. This might be a simple product, but it can make a world of difference for certain people. I want to outline those perks so you can decide if this is right for you!

  • This is very easy to use! All you have to do is spray it in your hair and work it through while your hair is damp. Then you just need to kind of help it lay in the style you want by either scrunching or twisting your hair. The product will help hold it in place once it is dry.

  • This product helps to tame frizz and fight humidity! This is something I could have really used in my trip to Florida a few years back. I went in mid-March and my hair was a beast. It totally had a mind of its own and I was such a frizz ball I had to tame it down by french braiding it basically the entire trip.

  • Herbivore’s spray adds texture and body to your hair. The texture it adds is really what promotes the extra volume. It forces it to not lay as flat as it might on a normal basis. Everyone with really pin straight hair loves this feature the most!

  • It is good on all hair types! Which is not something you find in a lot of products. This is more common for natural products than anything and helps waylay some doubt you might have on whether you should try it on your own hair.

  • Adds beautiful beachy waves and reinforces your natural curls!

  • This is a 100% natural and vegan product. So if a cruelty free product is really important to you, this is just the thing for you!

  • It contains aloe which will fight the dryness that might be caused by the salt.

  • A lot of customers loved that this product had great hold all day. Definitely an important feature to any good hair product!

  • This sea salt spray in particular comes in a glass bottle. This is something that helps your product stay really fresh and well contained. Not to mention you could repurpose the cute bottle when you finish up the spray!

  • This sea salt spray by Herbivore can also be used to hydrate and moisturize your skin! I don’t know about you but I’ve always loved a good multi-purpose item!

This spray has a refreshing coconut scent, with vanilla undertones. It seems to be really overpowering when first sprayed, but it evens out quickly and once dried.

Social Proof

This is actually a well admired product, for those who have tried it. I do believe however that it is not nearly as popular as it could be. This mainly has to do with the pricetag. I can understand being really weary of a product because you just don’t know if it’s worth the extra money. But overall it does wonders for some people and others struggle with it, so this is kind of understandable.

But this comes in a great bottle, has a wonderful scent, gives people the beachy waves they’ve always dreamed of, while still leaving their hair soft and manageable. As I said before, it seems to have about an 80% success rating, which is pretty awesome.

Alternatives

As always, I didn’t want to leave you hanging with just this one product. I know there are certain drawbacks. But to make up for it with those of you who might need something just a bit different, I have a few alternatives! There’s going to be a lot of similarities here. Trust me, I know how hard it is to find the big differences between such simple products. But lucky for you I’m here to do it for you!

Alaffia has a great sea salt spray that has more of a mid-range pricing. So if you don’t want to spend an excessive amount on a sea salt spray, but still want quality, this is a great alternative! It will create the same look as any sea salt spray and is meant for those beautiful beach waves!

Who Should Buy This Spray

It comes in a 12oz bottle with is larger than most. It is made with coconut water which is a great alternative to fight the dryness that the salt might create. So this is definitely something I would be able to buy as an alternative for my Aunt who is allergic to aloe! I think the fact that this is currently an Amazon Choice item says a lot about it. It gets great reviews and can also be used on your skin, like Herbivore!

Alaffia vs. Herbivore: Sea Salt Spray Comparison

  • Alaffia is more affordable

  • Herbivore is 100% natural and vegan

  • Alaffia is made with coconut water

  • Alaffia comes in a larger bottle

  • Both can be used on your hair and your skin

Being the Amazon Choice item in this category, I would definitely recommend this as an alternative. It is still more expensive than some on our list, but it is certainly more affordable than Herbivore. If you feel more drawn to this product than Herbivore, you can find Alaffia Sea Salt Spray on Amazon!

Artnatural’s is another great alternative! It is much more affordable as well, even more affordable than Alaffia! They are all meant for the same thing of course, because everyone wants those beautiful beachy waves!

Who Should Buy This Spray

This is meant for people who want a more affordable sea salt spray. It gets great reviews and people love to use it to make those beachy waves and add nice texture to their hair! It has all the benefits of the other products, however it is not nearly as natural or cruelty free. This is still a product I would probably gravitate more towards because I am a total budgeter and If I’m going to buy beauty products, they need to work well and be within a certain price range.

Artnaturals vs. Herbivore: Sea Salt Spray Comparison

  • Artnaturals is more affordable

  • Herbivore is natural

  • Herbivore comes in a glass bottle

  • Both create beach waves

  • Both add texture and body to your hair

If you are looking for that mid-range product that is made with care, this is for you! It might not have all the added benefits of being natural or vegan, but it can be found easily, used in the same way and is a better price for people who use this regularly! If you are interested in getting this product, you can find Artnatural’s sea salt spray on Amazon!

Apart from the cute name, this is another well loved product! I believe it is probably more common and well known, but that is probably because of the super low price! It comes in a 8oz bottle and is meant to be used on damp hair. It is just as simple, easy and straightforward as all the rest!

Who Should Buy This Sea Salt Spray

If you haven’t used a sea salt spray before and you’re really curious to see what it does for you, this could be a fantastic starting product. It could also be a really great product for those of you who use the spray constantly and go through it quickly. I would love to try this, since it wouldn’t be much of an expense to me!

Not Your Mother’s vs. Herbivore: Sea Salt Spray Comparison

  • Not Your Mother’s is extremely affordable

  • Not Your Mother’s is a great product for starting out

  • Herbivore is all natural

  • Both create gorgeous beach waves

  • Both enhance the natural body your hair has

Conclusion

Herbivore Botanical Sea Salt Spray is a wonderful product. It is by no means perfect, but it is natural, cruelty free and really does the job for most people. It’s biggest downfall is the price, it just makes people a little hesitant to try it out. But those who already were familiar with sea salt sprays are the ones who took the leap and got it despite the price. I really like the fact that this product has the added aloe in it to fight the dryness that can be caused by the sea salt. The dryness is the only long term side effect of the product and it can’t be avoided completely. But the aloe it a great natural way to ensure that they at least try to make your hair feel really healthy after use!

​It gets a lot of people’s approval and those are the people who have really put this to the test. I am actually tempted to get this one for my cousin because she has super straight hair. She loves to style her hair and do her makeup and even went to a cosmetology program in the past because she loved it all so much. But her life has led her down a different path and out of the beauty industry. Being as busy as she is now, I think she would really appreciate a product like this because it would be so easy to use before she went to work.

If you’re also looking for something quick, easy and efficient. That also comes with great support for natural beachy waves and curls, look no further. You can find Herbivore Botanicals Sea Salt Spray right on Amazon!
