Susan Says: Beachy Keen

The humidity was wreaking havoc on my hair, compounded by the fact that I am overdue for a hair shaping session.  I decided that it was time to splurge and try a texturizing sea spray. 

My daughter had purchased Awapuhl Texturizing Sea Spray (for beach waves, volume and body) but the store did not carry that brand.  So I purchased Fekkai Summer Hair Beach Waves Spray which can be sprayed on damp or dry hair for a tousled beachy style (anytime, anywhere)! 

Fekkai Summer Hair Beach Waves Spray $25 @ Bergdorf Goodman

The retail price is $25 for five ounces but you only use a spritz or two at a time so it should be very long lasting (should contain enough product to get through the humid months).  I think the product helped to give my limp hair a lift and had a thickening effect.  

A similar product is A Beautiful Life Pre Game Texturizing Spray which retails for $22.

Lucky has some savings on other hot beach beauty items, too.  Sunscreen is the most important beach accessory and zinc sunscreen is being touted by dermatologists as the best.
