Salt or Sugar?
Let's take a deep dive into sugar and salt sprays – two hair styling products that many are familiar with, but whose differences aren't always discussed enough.
Sugar Spray - Soft and Flexible
Think of a sugar spray as a soft hug for your hair. It provides structure and support, but the result remains flexible and movable. The best thing about sugar spray is that your hair won’t feel rough. It's perfect when you want soft curls, relaxed waves, or natural volume without your hair becoming stiff or sticky.

Salt Spray - The Wild Child of Beach Life
If you're after a more casual, surfer-style look, salt spray is your friend. It adds texture and roughness to your hair, mimicking the effect of salty seawater – you know, that moment when you step out of the ocean and your hair looks effortlessly amazing? Salt spray is a fantastic product for enhancing curls or creating natural waves. However, if the ends of your hair are already dry and damaged, it’s a good idea to add extra moisture, for example with a moisturizing styling cream or leave-in conditioner, before applying the salt spray. This is because the feel salt spray leaves on your hair is always a bit drier compared to sugar spray.
When to Use What?
Sugar spray is ideal when you’re looking for flexible, soft structure and naturally flowing hair – especially for longer hairstyles. It’s like a magician, making your hair look effortless, yet controlled. Salt spray, on the other hand, is perfect when you want to add a bit of edge and roughness to your hair. Choose the one that best suits your style and mood.
