It’s no secret. I am bored stiff growing out my neurosurgeon undercut hair style. While I am grateful he was able to remove my acoustic neuroma tumor, and I’m thankful for the skilled hands of his “day job”, I hope he’s never a hair stylist on the side. Growing a 2 by 8 inch section of my hair around my ear from my face to behind my ear for more than 9 months has been tedious, and I’ve grown weary of my inability to do much with my hair while I wait. I shortened my hair length once my head incision was healed and a little less tender in May, at 6 months post op. For most of this time, I’ve been wearing it down, or pulled back into a half back-not even a full half up- while that shaved hair grows. There were other patchy areas of my head affected by surgery too where hair needed to regrow. It’s been a series of not pretty events.

Many months ago, Lilla Rose released a new product, Sea Salt Spray, used to create and hold beachy waves. While my hair and all my daughters hair was very long, we were not impressed when we did a test pilot run of the product. We felt like it made our hair sticky, greasy, and weighted it down.

However, in the past few weeks, due to the boredom with my hair and the limited ways I can wear it, and noting that the regrowth is at the awkward stage of sticking out in any direction it wants, no longer being hidden by longer hair, I decided to try the Sea Salt Spray again. Now I can honestly say, I at least like it well enough to use it for the purpose of creating waves. For the time being, it is allowing me a different option for a daily easy hair style. When I was much younger, I always longed for loose curls. I don’t have curls, but at least I have loose waves.

What I’ve been doing:

1. After washing my hair, I wrap it in my Lilla Rose hair towel for about 15 minutes.
2. I brush out my damp hair with my Wet brush, spray in Lilla Rose Rose Water to tame my wiry silver hair strands, and blow dry the top back and my forehead area to create some lift.
3. I finger comb my top areas into place, and scrunch the remainder of my hair while spraying Lilla Rose Sea Salt Spray.
4. I then let it air dry, but I continue to scrunch my entire head is dry.
5. I’ve also been pulling what would be my bang area back a little and securing with a bobby pin or Lilla Rose mini hair clip to keep my hair out of my face. Sometimes I spray in additional Sea Salt Spray to tighten the beachy wave just a little bit.

Have you ever tried Sea Salt Spray to create waves or to secure wispy waves in your hair? What were your results? Tell me in the comments.
