I sense we are still in the midst of mermaid, wavy hair. Irrespective of whether it’s ‘en vogue’, letting my hair relax in its natural wavy state since I’ve been growing it, is a far outcry from the days of having short (and often high-maintenance hair). It’s been years since my hair has been long enough to get away in this state and I’m not about to cut it all off in a moment of madness. No way, long hair is here to stay for Sheenie Shaikh.
There are occasions when my hair goes into this wonderful, curly wurly stage which either happens from coming back from the beach (after being exposed to all that salty air and water) or getting drenched from Tidal Wave at Thorpe Park.
For the past few weeks I have been sporting a wild (lazy) wavy look enhanced with the assistance of the Babyliss Wave Envy and John Frieda’s Beach Blonde Sea Waves* sea salt spray. It takes just a few minutes to do unlike blow-drying and straightening which takes up a considerable amount of time (something I’m short of in the mornings).
The name is deceiving, however – it’s not solely for blonde hair – so I don’t know why it’s been used as it just alienates the rest of us non-blondies. Any way! The spray is a leave-in, non-drying formula that helps to sustain natural waves with a matte finish. It can be used on wet or dry hair (I tend to use it on dry tresses.)
I know what you’re thinking and I have to say I was thinking the same thing. For a spray with sea salt in its name, it’s bound to be sticky and icky. On the contrary, this spray has been reformulated and the outcome is a lighter, barely-there spray. Unlike most sea salt sprays, this one doesn’t stiffen your hair and feel uncomfortable. It does smell of sweet coconuts when you spritz it on though the scent does not linger for long.
Usually priced at £6.99 for 150ml bottle, John Frieda’s Beach Blonde Sea Waves is currently on offer at Boots for £4.
