Salt spray wars - Toni & Guy vs Bumble and Bumble

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to my hair. I tend to either wear it straight or when pushed for time make the most of its natural wave and use a salt spray to give it more definition.

There are quite a few on the market, and I wanted to test out if using a high end brand or a cheaper one made any difference.

I'd been lusting after the Bumble and Bumble spray for a long time, but the hefty price tag put me off. Just after Christmas I decided to use my Boots points and buy a little bottle (£8.50, 50ml).

Bumble and Bumble market their salt spray as offering tousled waves, without drying your hair out. They've added sea kelp to their spray, which helps maintain the moisture in your hair. Unfortunately, despite having a bit of a wave in my hair anyway, this did nothing for me. It added a tiny bit of extra texture, but definitely no sexy, beachy waves.

Enter Toni & Guy's sea salt spray. Now, this is a totally different story. Coming in at just over £7 for a large 200ml bottle, this stuff really works. I spray it in to damp hair and then blow dry gently and am left with tousled, beachy waves. It is a little drying on the hair so not something for every day use, but in my opinion does a much better job than the Bumble and Bumble spray and for a quarter of the price.

Have you tried either of these sprays?

    I love your hair colour! I never used salt sprays as my hair has always been too short for them but now it is a little longer I might give some a try x

    I have tried the Toni & Guy one and really liked it. Gives the effect of having swam in the sea and let your hair dry in the sun :)

    So glad you have written this post! I use the toni&guy one and really like it but, with the hype surrounding it, I have been considering trying the surf spray. Think I will just stick with the one I have now.

    Such an interesting post - I totally think high-end hair products are never as good as high street buys - and its good to see this review as loads of people would go for the bumble and bumble and miss out xxx

      thanks. I think with high end products I just expect them to be better than high street and that definitely isn't always the case! x
