I Create Waves

The Innersense I Create Waves salt spray adds more texture, volume, and effortless beach waves to the hair. Mineral-rich salt gives straight to wavy hair grip and natural movement, while glycerin helps maintain softness. The lightweight formula enhances existing waves, refreshes the hair's texture between washes, and creates a naturally matte, slightly tousled finish - like after a day at the beach.

• Product type: Texturizing salt spray for natural beach waves, more grip, and a matte finish.
• Hair type & CGM: Especially suitable for straight to wavy hair and for refreshing curls. Suitable for the Curly Girl Method and curly hair care.

• Softness: Glycerin and gluconolactone complement the texturizing effect with moisture-binding properties.

• Key ingredients & formula: With salt, angelica root extract, glycerin, calendula, chamomile, and linden blossom. Silicone-free, vegan, and free from drying alcohol.

Salt sprays give hair the rough, grippy texture that is so characteristic of natural beach waves. The mineral-rich salt in I Create Waves supports styling and makes even straight hair look more lively and fuller. Unlike a strong curl gel, the spray does not fix the strands into tightly defined clumps. The result remains loose, flexible, and intentionally a little imperfect.

The formula combines this texturizing effect with glycerin and gluconolactone, which bind moisture and help support a soft hair feel. Angelica root extract along with calendula, chamomile, and linden blossom complement the botanical care. The spray is especially practical when you want to revive your waves on the second day or give straight hair more texture before styling.

Key ingredients

• Mineral-rich salt: Sodium Chloride creates the hair's grippy texture and natural beach-waves effect. It gives straight and wavy hair more lift, enhances existing movement, and supports a matte, textured finish. Unlike a classic hairspray, it does not create a firm styling film but rather a loose, slightly tousled texture.
• Angelica root extract: The extract from the root of true angelica (Angelica Archangelica) is a key botanical ingredient in the spray. It complements the formula with nourishing plant compounds and supports a comfortable scalp feel. Innersense particularly highlights its soothing and revitalizing properties for the scalp and hairline.
• Glycerin and gluconolactone: Glycerin binds moisture and helps keep hair soft despite the texturizing salt content. Gluconolactone also supports moisture balance and complements the water-based formula. Together, these two ingredients help counteract an unnecessarily rough or dry hair feel.
• Calendula and chamomile: Calendula and chamomile extracts contain botanical care compounds valued for their skin-nourishing properties. They complement the spray's scalp and hair care and support a balanced formula. Chamomile also contributes to the natural, pleasantly aromatic fragrance.
• Linden blossom and essential oils: Linden blossom extract complements the botanical care with plant-based ingredients. Essential oils from orange, eucalyptus, and ginger give the spray a fresh, aromatic scent. The combination pairs uncomplicated styling with a pleasant application experience.

How to use

• Spray I Create Waves salt spray evenly onto damp or dry hair. For a particularly natural look, focus on the mid-lengths and ends.
• For beach waves: Gently scrunch the hair from the ends toward the roots to shape loose waves and enhance its natural movement.
• For more volume: Lift individual sections of hair and apply the spray selectively wherever more grip and lift are desired.
• To refresh: Spray onto dry waves or curls as needed and scrunch them back into shape with your hands.
• Then allow the hair to air-dry or style it with a diffuser or blow-dryer.
• For very dry hair, start with a small amount and add a lightweight leave-in treatment if needed.

Which styling is right for you?

I Create Waves is ideal if you want loose beach waves, more grip, and a naturally matte finish. It enhances the hair's existing movement and is especially suitable for straight to wavy hair.

If, instead of a salty, textured surface, you primarily want more root volume and light hold, we recommend I Create Lift Volumizing Foam. The airy foam adds fullness without creating the typical beach-waves effect of a salt spray.

For more volume with medium hold and added shine, I Create Volume styling lotion is a great choice. I Create Hold styling gel, on the other hand, is the right choice when curls or other hairstyles need significantly stronger hold.

FAQ

What hair types is I Create Waves suitable for?
The salt spray is especially suitable for straight to wavy hair that needs more texture, volume, and natural movement. It can also refresh existing curls. For very dry or highly frizzy hair, use sparingly, as salt makes the hair surface grippier.

Can I use the salt spray to style straight hair into waves?
Yes. I Create Waves gives straight hair more grip and supports the formation of loose waves. Spray it onto damp hair and gently scrunch the lengths. It works particularly well on hair that already has a slight natural movement. Very straight hair can also be shaped into more defined waves with a braid or a suitable styling tool.

Does the salt spray dry out the hair?
Salt provides grip and can make hair feel drier when used frequently or generously. That is why the formula also contains moisture-binding glycerin and gluconolactone. For very dry hair, use the spray sparingly and additionally care for the lengths with a leave-in conditioner.

Can I use I Create Waves on dry hair?
Yes. The spray can be used on both damp and dry hair. On damp hair, you can shape new beach waves. On dry hair, it is especially suitable for refreshing existing waves and giving the lengths more grip and texture.

What is the difference between I Create Waves and I Create Lift?
I Create Waves is a salt spray that creates grip, texture, and a naturally matte beach-waves finish. I Create Lift is a lightweight styling foam for root volume, fullness, and flexible hold. If you want a relaxed beach look, I Create Waves is the better choice. For more lift at the roots without salty texture, I Create Lift is more suitable.

Is I Create Waves vegan and suitable for the Curly Girl Method?
Yes. The current formula contains no identifiable animal-derived ingredients, silicones, or drying alcohols. This makes I Create Waves vegan and suitable for the Curly Girl Method and curly hair care. For dry curls, the salt spray should still be used sparingly and combined with moisturizing care if necessary.
