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.

Toni & Guy works! (forgive the windswept look)

Have you tried either of these sprays?
