I have at least a dozen products that promise to give me thicker hair and I take turns seeing which one does the best job. They all do a fairly good job - Bed head, Avon, Pantene; mousse, gels and sprays but the other day I heard and tried something new.

A co-worker, Andrea, told me to spray my hair with salt water. She said that’s why everyone’s hair looks thicker after swimming in the ocean. Well I had to try it! Something so simple and easy. I used my raw, gourmet sea salt mixed with water in a spray bottle and spritzed onto my towel-dried hair. It did look and feel like I had thicker hair. It worked just as well as any of the products I mentioned and without any of the greasy, waxy or stickiness.

If you look at the ingredients in most products these days, you will find many that sound like they should go into your car motor instead of onto your body. Only a chemical engineer would know how to pronounce some of this stuff and what they do and since natural ingredients are the trend…. why not?
