Most sea salt sprays work best when applied to damp hair and then blow-dried or left to air-dry. This way, they can help define and set your natural waves as they appear, similar to when you actually go for a dip in the ocean and then dry off in the sun.

You can certainly apply them to dry hair too, though you’ll generally need to be more careful so as not to overdo it and end up with a not-so-nice crunch.
