We didn't set out to start a hair brand.
We just wanted a better salt spray.
Spending all of his free time in the ocean, founder Mike Petrosoniak, also a chemical engineer, always knew his hair looked and felt incredible after a day in the water. So when he bought his first bottle of sea salt spray to imitate it, he expected that same feeling. Instead he got stiff, crunchy hair that dried out and felt fried.
Re-engineering the Ocean
Research told him that salt sprays were notoriously damaging and felt, well, fake. He went back to square one: What would it take to get that real ocean texture when you can't actually get in the ocean?
That breakthrough became our flagship Real Ocean Salt Spray, and accidentally set the performance standard for all of our current products.
Built with purpose
Since then, we continue to apply that same first-principles design thinking to our entire lineup. Instead of tweaking existing hair product formulas, we start by defining the problem we want to solve and then engineer a cleaner, higher-performing solution. All made sustainably in Canada’s Ocean Playground - from our use of low-EWG and biodegradable ingredients, to our manufacturing processes and sustainable packaging, proving you can have purpose-built products that actually perform better.

Real ocean water for real beach texture
Most salt sprays use harsh synthetics that leave your hair dry, brittle, and stiff. A far cry from real beach texture.
Ours is different. We start with real ocean water, sourced from Canada's Ocean Playground, packed with the naturally occurring minerals that give you the texture you know and love. Then we blend it with hydrating and thickening plant gels to lock in moisture and added volume.
You'll get that genuine beach day look while keeping your hair healthy and crunch free.

Let customers speak for us
from 124 reviewsI 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!
Returning customer! Not cheap, but it's the best.
great lather, and I love the way my hair feels and looks
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!
Lathered well, loved the way my hair felt after using
I really like this shampoo!!
This salty spray gives my thinning hair more volume than any other product I have tried. Mousse will eventually weigh my hair down. This spray makes my hair have at least some shape left on day 2!
Same
Works great so you can get a brush through your hair
I liked it but don’t know if it’s for long thick hair. Takes a while for the soap to get through it.
The spray is good to get the tats out
Fast delivery
Love it
Great product
I needed body in my thinning hair, and these products delivered. It maybe should be a 4-star rating because my scalp gets itchy - but it's too soon to tell.
I couldn't believe how quickly I received the product. Will definitely shop online for it again
