Winsome & Wisdom Sea Salt Spray Review

by

Growing up, I never saw my mom do much with her hair. Although I never thought much of it throughout my childhood. As I got older and started styling my own hair, she loved it and always encouraged me or talked about how cute my hair looked. She occasionally used my straightening iron but that was about it. There were a handful of times she put it in a cute twist. But that was about the extent of it. I never really understood why she never tried so I tried to do her hair for her one day. That was the day I figured out she had the finest hair ever. It was beautiful, sleek, but still has this pretty curl at the bottom. It had never looked that way in the pictures of her when she was younger because growing up in the 80’s meant big hair. It also thinned out a lot after she lost a bunch of weight over these past few years. Nonetheless, it is honestly gorgeous hair…that is impossible to work with.

We’ve been doing this list of the 10 Best Sea Salt Spray Products of 2018 and I keep reading about how these sprays are perfect to add texture and volume to your hair! Exactly what she needs! One in particular that I found interesting was Winsome and Wisdom’s “Shore of Yourself” sea salt spray. It had a lot of benefits that really caught my eye and might just do the trick for my mom!

Things to Consider When Trying Winsome and Wisdom Sea Salt Spray

Of course, if I’m going to consider giving this to my mom, I’m going to want to find out everything about it. Which means I need to do my research and figure out it she would really like it. I want to know all the features, benefits and drawbacks! Of course, I will list all of it here so you can learn everything about it. Just to save you a little time!

What Look is Created: Well, the most well known look that you can create with sea salt spray is definitely the beach waves. The sea salt spray will accentuate and enhance any curls or waves you might have naturally. But in addition to that you could even use this to spice up an old look. What I mean by that is if you can fix your curled your hair from the day before. All you have to do is spritz this onto your roots and comb a little, just to distribute. It will add some volume and break up any greasy look you might have going on. Easy fix!

How to Use: You can pretty much use all sea salt sprays the same way. I would always recommend using on damp hair if possible, just to avoid a hairspray stickiness. Hold the bottle a few inches away from your hair and spray throughout, making sure to evenly distribute. Then you can just help it along by either scrunching, defusing, or twisting individual pieces to create the look you want.

Type of Hair: This can be used on all types of hair. It’s one thing I adore about sea salt spray! Also keep in mind that men can use it too! It adds volume and texture. So if you know a guy with great hair that tends to lay pretty flat, he just needs some of this to help it stand up a little and give it some extra style and texture.

Multiple Hair Benefits: This is a naturally moisturizing and conditioning spray. It has a lot of natural ingredients like sea kelp extract which is what moisturizes and smooths your hair. Benzyl Salicylate acts as a UV absorber. Protecting your hair from sun damage, dryness and color fading. It even has algae extract, which adds hair nutrients and also moisturizes and conditions.

Long Term Side Effects: There were some complaints about this product drying out their hair, despite the conditioning and moisturizing aspect of the product. This might have to do with how dry their hair was before using the product. Sea salt can pull the moisture out of their hair, so if someone already has dry hair, this could be a potential issue.

Scent: There wasn’t a particular scent advertised on the site. But customers said that this has a very light scent, on the flowery side. I personally enjoy lighter scents that aren’t overpowering. Then I can still use perfumes afterwards.sea salt spray, sea salt hair spray, sea salt spray for piercings, diy sea salt spray, not your mother's sea salt spray, best sea salt spray, sea salt spray for hair, how to use sea salt spray, sea salt spray diy, how to make sea salt spray, best sea salt spray for hair, sea salt spray men, moroccan sea salt spray, sea salt spray walmart, davines sea salt spray, sea salt hair spray diy, not your mother's beach babe texturing sea salt spray, sea salt spray before and after, homemade sea salt spray, john frieda sea salt spray, sea salt texturizing spray, not your mothers sea salt spray, what does sea salt spray do, ogx moroccan sea salt spray, ogx sea salt spray, sea salt spray for curly hair, how to make sea salt spray for hair, sea salt spray mens hair, beach babe sea salt spray, bumble and bumble sea salt spray, sea salt spray for piercings at walmart, aquage sea salt texturizing spray, tresemme sea salt spray, sea salt spray target, homemade sea salt hair spray, diy sea salt spray without coconut oil, sea salt spray reviewssea salt spray, sea salt hair spray, sea salt spray for piercings, diy sea salt spray, not your mother's sea salt spray, best sea salt spray, sea salt spray for hair, how to use sea salt spray, sea salt spray diy, how to make sea salt spray, best sea salt spray for hair, sea salt spray men, moroccan sea salt spray, sea salt spray walmart, davines sea salt spray, sea salt hair spray diy, not your mother's beach babe texturing sea salt spray, sea salt spray before and after, homemade sea salt spray, john frieda sea salt spray, sea salt texturizing spray, not your mothers sea salt spray, what does sea salt spray do, ogx moroccan sea salt spray, ogx sea salt spray, sea salt spray for curly hair, how to make sea salt spray for hair, sea salt spray mens hair, beach babe sea salt spray, bumble and bumble sea salt spray, sea salt spray for piercings at walmart, aquage sea salt texturizing spray, tresemme sea salt spray, sea salt spray target, homemade sea salt hair spray, diy sea salt spray without coconut oil, sea salt spray reviews

Who Should Buy This Product

I would recommend this to anyone who has naturally curly or wavy hair and need something to battle the frizz that might come with it. This is also great if you have very straight hair that has no body on its own. This spray can be used to add the extra texture and volume you’ve been looking for. This is even good for anyone who has really naturally oily hair. This is a great spray and go product that can be used on your roots to break up the look of greasy hair.

No products found.

Who Shouldn’t Buy This Product

I wouldn’t recommend this for someone who has really dry or already damaged hair. You can of course still use it, but it might not have the desired effect you were going for. If you’ve bleached your hair and it is super dry, damaged and you can’t even take a shower without it turning into a bit of a knotty mess, this won’t help matters. You need something deeply moisturizing that will add to your hair, not take away from it even more.

Winsome and Wisdom Sea Salt Spray

Winsome and Wisdom sea salt spray comes in an 8oz bottle for a very reasonable price. It is meant to be used on damp hair and is super quick and easy to use. It has a lot of natural ingredients that have the benefit of moisturizing and conditioning. This will fight the dryness that might be caused by the sea salt. It allows your hair to stay flexible and easy to work with, so it shouldn’t feel like you used hairspray.

It is also a cruelty free product, which is always important and shows that they care. As well as paraben and alcohol free, which is pretty important as well and I think it shows that they care about the wellbeing of their customers as well.

This product comes from a family owned business and it’s made in the USA. I like to see this because I like to buy local if possible. This is a great price for a local business. The company has been around for almost 60 years so they are well established!

Pros

  • UV protection
  • Paraben and alcohol free
  • Naturally moisturizing and conditioning
  • Great hold despite humidity

Cons

  • They add dyes to the product
  • May dry your hair

Features and Benefits 

Here we come to the ever important rundown of the perks of this product. I do this on a pretty normal basis because I’m a list person. You should have seen me doing my research for a new laptop. My husband probably think I’m a little crazy. But it’s important for me to know what I’m buying. Whether it’s a big purchase and I want to get my money’s worth, or even a small product like this. Since I do this constantly anyway, I’d like to share my findings with you!

  • This product is made in the USA, by a family owned business. So if you like supporting local businesses and small companies, this is a great way to do so.

  • This product is paraben and alcohol free. That will be a big help to keep your hair from drying out. There also has been a big debate on whether parabens contribute to breast cancer. Although it has not been 100% proven or disproven I prefer to just avoid it in case.

  • Winsome and Wisdom is a cruelty free company and feel no need to test their products on animals.

  • We all want an easy to use product and this is a great one! All you have to do is spray into damp hair and distribute evenly! With a little twisting or scrunching you will be able to achieve an effortless and very cute look!

  • Sea salt sprays are a wonderful product to use to get gorgeous beachy waves! Not to mention they will just enhance and define the natural style of your hair!

  • This product has a lot of natural ingredients. Sea kelp and algae extract with help moisturize and condition! This is certainly help keep the sea salt from drying out your hair. Although it is still possible.

  • The added ingredient of Benzyl Salicylate acts as a UV absorber. It will help prevent dryness, sun damage and and color fading. Sun protection an be equally important for your hair as you skin!

  • Sea kelp extract with help promote naturally shinier and healthier hair by smoothing and moisturizing the hair cuticles.

  • This product will leave your hair looking and feeling flexible. It is a lightweight product that won’t weigh your hair down like a hairspray might. As long as you don’t misuse or overuse, you won’t have to worry about sticky or crunchy feeling hair.

  • By adding texture to your hair it will be easier to manage. Kind of like what I was talking about with my mom earlier in this post. She has gorgeous silky hair, but it’s impossible to work with. Texture from a sea salt spray will make it more manageable!

  • Another thing the texture will add is a good amount of volume. This is help improve the look of normally flat or pin straight hair. If you have straight hair and you’ve been wishing for an easy way to get volume without teasing, here you go!

  • By adding that volume you may also help your hair appear thicker!

Social Proof

After sifting through a lot of different posts, I think it’s safe to say this is a well loved product. There were a few complaints here and there. To name a few, some people didn’t understand why they felt the need to add dyes to the product. I can understand this because my sister breaks out in hives when she comes in contact with blue or red dye. Another person thought the bottle was much to big and hard to hold while spritzing, although that struck me as more of a personal preference. And for some, this added more frizz, rather than controlling their frizz.

But I would say, that if those are the only kinds of complaints that this product has, they’re doing pretty good! Everyone else praised this product for great hold, flexibility and the added texture and volume it helped them achieve. It’s lightweight, has a soft pretty scent and helped them get the beautifully beachy waves they were looking for!

There isn’t really a product out there that doesn’t have a few complaints and I always expect to see that. Unless they’re serious or reoccuring, I don’t normally pay them much mind and in this case I don’t think you really need to worry about them either.

Alternatives

Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe is another great sea salt spray that is a fantastic price. A big difference here is the scent for this one. This has a “tropical banana” scent. There were a lot of people who loved this scent because it was something different. Two more big differences that you’ll find here are that this is a more affordable product and it also contains aloe. This may help to keep your hair from drying out with constant use. I wouldn’t set your hopes too high though because as great as this seems, sea salt will still have some type of drying effect if you use it enough!

Who Would Buy This Spray

I would say this is best for those who really want the beachy look, but want to avoid the hefty price tag.Winsome and Wisdom’s spray is definitely affordable in my opinion, but Winsome and Wisdom is literally half the price. So if you are starting out and want to learn how to use a sea salt spray, this would be a great trial item!

Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe vs Winsome and Wisdom  Sea Salt Spray Comparison

  • Not Your Mother’s is more affordable
  • Not Your Mother’s smells like banana
  • Winsome and Wisdom has great natural ingredients
  • Not Your Mother’s has aloe for added protection against dryness
  • Winsome and Wisdom has UV protection

So if you are interested in trying a sea salt spray, this could be a wonderful starter item. I have never used one myself but I really wouldn’t mind trying it. It’s so affordable! I am a sucker for a good deal after all. If you think you might be interested in trying out this item, you can find Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe on Amazon!

This is, of course, another sea salt spray. This is a more expensive product, but it has a few perks for the higher price. This spray is 100% organic, comes in a slightly bigger bottle and is said to add even more body with less possibility of crunch. In addition to this, Harvey Prince is a perfume brand, so I think it’s pretty inevitable that this is going to smell beautiful!

Who Would Buy This Spray

The thing that really sets this one apart from the others so far is the fact that this is a 100% organic product. Not everyone need this in a product, but I know this can be really important for some and they’re willing to spend the extra money!

Harvey Prince vs. Winsome and Wisdom: Sea Salt Spray Comparison

  • Winsome and Wisdom is a more affordable option
  • Harvey Prince is 100% organic
  • Harvey Prince won’t get crunchy
  • Winsome and Wisdom comes in a slightly bigger size
  • Both control frizz and create beach waves

If you love the idea of trying out a sea salt spray and want something organic I would definitely recommend this one! It is an all around quality item and smells great. If you’re interested you can find the Harvey Prince Organics Sea Salt Texturizing Mist on Amazon!

This also is a pricier option. Herbivore is 100% natural and 100% vegan. It guarantees that it was not tested on animals just like Winsome and Wisdom. This particular one smells like coconut and vanilla. Yum! This one is even more interesting than the other options because it comes in a sturdy glass bottle, with cute artwork on the label and it is also made in the USA in small batches. I like the idea that this is a carefully crafted and thoughtful product!

Who Would Buy This Spray

If you only buy cruelty free items, this is something you’ll definitely appreciate! It also is great if you like buying local. It is also completely natural and totally vegan. I don’t always look for this in products because I can’t always afford to. It unfortunately is always the more expensive product. But if I have the option between this and other in the same price range, I would definitely prefer something 100% natural!

Herbivore Sea Mist vs J. Beverly Hills Beach Spray Comparison

  • Herbivore is 100% natural and vegan
  • Herbivore comes in a slightly larger glass bottle
  • Both are paraben free
  • Winsome and Wisdom is less than half the price of this alternative
  • Herbivore an be used on your skin too

Overall this is a really cool product. If you don’t mind the price tag, I would definitely recommend it. It isn’t very widely known, but it seems to get good reviews from those who have tried it so far. It also is a little more versatile than the other options so far since you can also use it one your skin. If you are interested in the Herbivore Sea Salt Spray you can also find it on Amazon!

Conclusion

Winsome and Wisdom passed my test with flying colors. This is definitely something I’m going to consider getting for my mom. She could use the added texture and something that will promote the natural style of her hair. There are a lot of features I like about this product especially, like the natural ingredients that are intended to condition and moisturize. They also help smooth your hair and keep it shiny. I could definitely use this because my hair can tend to be a little bit on the dull side during winter. It is naturally pretty dry and hard to keep looking and feeling healthy.

I also love the fact that this is a cruelty free product from a family owned business, right here in the USA! There’s always a benefit in my opinion to buying local and promoting small businesses. Considering that they have been around for almost 60 years, I’d say they’ve definitely proven that they’re capable!

In the end this is not a perfect product. I don’t know if I feel like they completely deliver the conditioning and moisturizing aspect of the product. A lot of the complaints I saw had to do with how dry peoples hair felt after using the product. This isn’t a huge deal because there are ways around it, between hair masks and just seeing how it works for you personally. It will all depend on how it works for you! But overall I definitely think there was more of an overwhelming approval of this product than there were complaints.

We ended up giving this product a ​good rating because although it isn’t perfect, it is a wonderful product with a ton of benefits! If you’re interested in Winsome and Wisdom Sea Salt Spray you can find it for a great price on Amazon!
