DIY Beach Babe Salt Hair Spray #beauty #diybeautyproducts

When I was packing my hospital bag, I wanted to make sure that I had a hair product that had limited fragrance, and that I could just spray on, scrunch, let dry and feel refreshed for the day.

I went in search of a salt spray for beach waves, because really...my boys have taken my hair from curly-q to beachy and wavy. Instead of trying to make it into something that it just will never be again, I need to work with it.

I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I made my own. Here's my super simple recipe!

2 tbsp epsom salts
1 tbsp hair gel
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 1/2 cups warm water

After measuring out all of the ingredients into separate bowls, you'll want to melt your coconut oil. I did this by popping my ramekin in the microwave for about 14 seconds.

Then, pour all of your ingredients into a measuring cup or directly into your spray bottle and shake until the salt dissolves. You will notice that the coconut oil will separate from the water, which is perfectly fine. It may even reharden over a few days, also fine! Just run your bottle under hot water to melt the coconut oil, and shake to mix into the spray.

I divided this mixture between a small travel size bottle (pictured) for my hospital bag and a large spritz bottle that I will  keep in the bathroom.

The main difference that I noticed was that the spray made my curls a little livelier, and it gave a great shine to my hair. The texture was fantastic and there was definition of pieces, which was what I was looking for.

Let me know if you try it and what your results are!

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser #voxbox #influenster

You know that time that you fell in love with a product purely based on its smell? Well, it was love at first smell when it came to the Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser #voxbox that I received to review through Influenster.

When I received the first #mysterybrand box, I was certain that the product was of a salon quality brand, likely from the Kerastase line. Why? Well, because the salon that I go to, Fringe Hair Spa, is a L'Oreal Professional Salon and the smell of this #mysterybrand was so familiar to me, definitely one that I had smell before.

When the Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser arrived at my door, I was pretty surprised!! A product that would be good to my hair, help with winter damage and dryness from being color processed, that was readily available at the drugstore or grocery store? Amazing!!!

The love affair I have with this doesn't stop at the smell. It is so smooth when you wash and condition your hair with it, and bubbles like any good shampoo should. The split end serum is my favourite. It's such a relief to put something nourishing on your hair, knowing that it will protect it from further damage. Two thumbs up.

I am most excited to try the Damage Eraser Butter, and will have to let you know via Instragram and Twitter how I like it. It smells just as lovely as all of the other products, and it looks heavenly.

Remember how men complain that it takes their lady hours to get ready? Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser will have you relishing every moment of your hair care routine, from shampoo and conditioning to tending to split ends and buttering your hair up. Enjoy it!!
