Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces hot (not boiling) water
- 3 tablespoons Epsom salt
- 1 teaspoon mineral-rich sea salt, such as Celtic or Dead Sea salt (you may add up to a teaspoon more to add stiffness to curls)

Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, add 8 ounces hot (not boiling) water, Epsom salt, sea salt, argan oil and essential oil. Stir well to mix.
- Carefully pour the hot water mixture into your spray bottle. Use a glass spray bottle to avoid the contaminants in plastic bottles.
- Place top on spray bottle and shake well to combine, about 30 seconds.
- DIY sea salt spray may be stored at room temperature and will have at least 3 months of shelf life.
Notes
- The essential oils are optional. Experiment with different types and how many drops you put in.
