Oil and water are known to be two things that don't mix, but that didn't stop Bumble and Bumble from bringing them together in its Surf Infusion sea salt spray for hair.
The product is described as a "salt-in-oil innovation," since it is labeled as a bi-phase beauty product that contains both salt water and oil. This means that the oil and water stay separated until the bottle is shaken before use. The formula is made up of a blend of coconut, mango seed, passion fruit and palm oils, a combination that would probably result in a pleasing tropical scent just as much as enhanced texture.
In addition to promising soft, touchable wavy hair without the crunch, ingredients like coconut fruit and algae extracts are reported to prevent UV rays from damaging hair.
