4: Hold + Control

All-day reworkable, medium hold that's weather- and sweat-proof, and washes out easily with one shampoo.

Keep it Real, Keep it Salty

Ever spent 10 minutes staring at shampoos comparing options for dry hair? thinning hair? coarse and curly, damaged, fine, or oily? 

The easiest way to design a new product is to improve existing formulas and pump out endless variations for every different need.

Instead, we engineer one foolproof standard for every category.

Using first-principles design rooted in our engineering background, we build versatile, high-performance formulas that work effortlessly across all hair types, using real ingredients and sustainable processes and packaging. High-quality, custom-formulated essentials that get the job done amazingly well, every single time.

Shop Real Ocean Salt Spray

The only real ocean water sea salt spray giving you natural volume, hold and texture, without any crunch or dryness. What started as a local cult fav now ships worldwide. We've bottled the ocean (literally).

Shop Tidal Clay (NEW)

Sweat and weatherproof, Tidal Clay gives you all-day hold that's completely reworkable, applies super easily, and yet washes out completely with one shampoo. Your current styling product could never.

Shop Surf Shampoo

Fresh, not flat: Reset your hair, not your texture with our solid shampoo. Perfect for travel but you'll use it every day. Hydrating enough you'll find yourself skipping the conditioner.

We didn't set out to start a hair brand. 

I just wanted a better salt spray.

I grew up on the water. Lakes mostly, until I spent a summer in the Bahamas teaching sailing and kiteboarding.

That summer, my hair never looked better. But when I bought brand-name sea salt sprays to replicate that post-surf look back home, none of them gave that same feeling. Instead, they left my hair stiff, crunchy and fried.

So, as a chemical engineer, I fixed it.

I created what eventually became a local cult fav: our Real Ocean Salt Spray. We use actual ocean water, packed with the natural minerals that style hair so well, and balanced it with hydrating plant gels for added thickness and moisture. Real beach texture, no crunch, and no damaging ingredients.

Today, Salty Hair has grown into a full lineup of surf-inspired essentials. We take an engineer's approach to solve the most frustrating problems with everyday grooming products, building a simple, foolproof system for healthy, effortless hair.

And we’re proud to do it right here in Canada’s Ocean Playground.

From the ocean, for the ocean

It's 2026 and we think adding more plastics into our environment or washing toxic ingredients down the drain is just bad engineering.

We build our lineup using ocean-safe, biodegradable formulas and low-waste or plastic-free packaging. Plus, $1 from every product or set goes directly to kelp reforestation right here in Canada.

Why we're planting kelp forests

We acknowledge that the lands on which we operate are in traditional Mi’kmaw territory, and we acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of this province.

Excellent product! I have started using this instead of Garnier Surfer Hair Putty

Excellent product! I have started using this instead of Garnier Surfer Hair Putty, which I have used for years. This product feels better and has safer ingredients for hair.

Picked up another!

First tried this at my barber's and it's the best clay/pomade I've ever used. Really like it on its own and with the salt spray. I only use a small amount at a time. Buying a second one for my travel bag.

Great shampoo bar

Best shampoo bar I've used so far. It actually didn't feel like it stripped my hair, and left it soft afterwards, with good body. I do always use a bit of conditioner on the length, but even before that, it still felt soft and not stripped like many shampoo bars. It also lathers very easily, which is a big plus. Definitely give it a try!

Best sea salt spray!

I wasn't expecting much, but after using the shampoo bar (with a little bit of conditioner on the length of my hair as I always do), then drying just a bit to get the excess water out, I used the sea salt spray. I let it dry naturally after that. My hair was very soft! I expected it to be a bit "crunchy" as most salt sprays are, but it was not at all. The shampoo definitely gave it a bit more body rather than the flatter appearance I usually get after a regular shampoo. Very impressed! Give it a try. I will definitely be using the shampoo bar for travel.

So far so good

I have very fine hair and I have tried soo many pomades, texturizers etc.
all are either greasy or too heavy, waxy. I have only been using this one for a short period but, seems to be working very well. It is lightweight, but gives my hair body. So far so good

Clean ingredients and great styling

I don't usually leave reviews for products, but today I am happy to make an exception. I went through chemotherapy 2 years ago. Prior to that my hair was straight with a bit of wave... Now it is super curly and at 57 years old I had to learn how to style curly hair. I've been looking for a good leave-in salt hair product for beach girls but my biggest criteria was I try to keep my exposure to chemicals as low as possible. Salty Hair came up as a suggestion in an online search and the ingredients were so clean. I figured I couldn't not give it a try. My expectations for styleability were low. Your product blew me away. Now I can have clean products and insanely great style!. Great job!

Canada 🇨🇦 Memories; Great Styler

I first purchased this great styling product in a cute shop in beautiful and picturesque Victoria-by-the-Sea, PEI, while on vacation. When I used it all up after several months, I just had to order more. Got 2 bottles this time! Love the fact that it is made with actual Nova Scotian ocean water!
