Living in NYC, the closest I can get to that perfect ocean hair look is with a trusty styling product like Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. This spray mimics the natural texture you get from sea salt and ocean breeze, giving your hair that tousled, carefree vibe. I love using it after my hair is slightly damp—just a few spritzes, then scrunching my hair gently with my hands to create volume and those signature beach waves. What’s great about this spray is how versatile it is. You can use it on different hair types, whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly. It doesn’t make your hair feel sticky or crunchy, which is something I worry about with other sea salt sprays. The scent is also fresh and inviting, which adds to the overall vibe. Since living in a city like NYC means no natural ocean breeze, this product has been a game-changer in helping me achieve that effortless, windswept look. In addition, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is great for adding texture before styling or just for a quick refresh on the second day after washing your hair. It holds up well throughout the day without weighing your hair down or making it greasy. If you want to seal the look, I usually finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep everything in place. Using this product has truly made recreating that beach hair at home possible, so I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to bring some chill ocean vibes into their daily style routine.
