Our Story

We didn't set out to start a hair brand. We just wanted a better salt spray. 

Our founder Mike, a chemical engineer, spent all his free time in the ocean, kiteboarding and sailing. He realized his hair always looked and felt its best after a day in the ocean so when he bought his first bottle of sea salt spray to replicate it, he expected that same effortless ocean feel. Instead, he got stiff, crunchy hair that felt dry and fried. 

Re-engineering the Ocean 
He went back to square one: Could you use real ocean water for an authentic mineral base, but balance it with hydrating plants so it never dries your hair out? 

That breakthrough became our flagship Real Ocean Salt Spray, and ended up setting the performance standard for everything we now produce.

Built with purpose 

Today, we apply that same first-principles thinking to our entire lineup. Instead of tweaking existing formulas, we start by defining the problem we want to solve and 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.

FROM THE OCEAN, FOR THE OCEAN

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.

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!

Lasting Volume

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!

I liked it but don’t know if it’s for long thick 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

I needed body in my thinning hair

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.

Great!

I couldn't believe how quickly I received the product. Will definitely shop online for it again
