Salt Grit Spray
Quick answer
Grit without the grime. Salt Grit Spray is an alcohol-free sea salt texture spray for men who want body, grit and a matte, lived-in finish without the shine or stiffness of a pomade. Mist it into damp hair before you blow-dry, or into dry hair to rough up a style that's gone flat. It works on its own for loose, messy looks and as the first step under our Hair Pomade or Hair Cream when you want texture and hold. 8 fl oz amber bottle with a mini spray top, lightly scented with Bourbon & Sandalwood.
What it does
- Builds texture and grit: roughs the hair up so pieces stand apart instead of lying down in one flat sheet.
- Adds body to fine or flat hair: sprayed at the roots before drying, it lifts hair that falls limp by noon.
- Matte, not shiny: no gloss, no wet look, no crunch.
- Alcohol-free: the grit comes from sea salt and magnesium sulfate, with glycerin in the mix, not from drying alcohol.
- Preps hair for product: gives pomade or cream something to grip, so a textured crop or messy quiff holds its shape longer.
- Lightly scented on purpose: the same Bourbon & Sandalwood we use in our Beard & Body Butters, kept low so it doesn't fight your cologne.

How to use it
- Shake well.
- Damp hair: towel-dry, then mist 4–6 sprays through the hair, concentrating at the roots.
- Dry it with intent: blow-dry while scrunching or pushing the hair in the direction you want, or rough-dry with your fingers for a looser finish.
- Finish if you want more hold: work a small amount of Hair Pomade (firm hold, light shine) or Hair Cream (firm hold, matte) through the top.
- Dry hair refresh: mist 2–3 sprays and work it through with your fingers to bring back texture mid-day.

What it won't do
- It won't slick your hair back. Salt spray roughs hair up. If you want a clean, combed look, reach for pomade.
- More isn't better. The most common mistake is soaking the hair. Start with 4–6 sprays; too much leaves hair feeling stiff and dry.
- It's not a hairspray. It holds texture, not a helmet. If the style needs to survive wind and a long day, finish with pomade or cream.
FAQ
Do I use it on wet or dry hair?
Both. On damp hair it's a pre-styler: spray, then blow-dry or rough-dry for maximum texture and volume. On dry hair it's a quick refresh to bring back grit and separation.
Can I use it with pomade or cream?
Yes, and most guys should. Spray first, dry, then finish with a small amount of Hair Pomade or Hair Cream. The salt spray gives the product something to grip, so the style holds its shape longer.
Will it work on short hair?
Yes. It's built for short to medium-length hair: textured crops, fringes and messy tops. On very short buzz cuts there isn't much to texture.
What does it smell like?
Warm and woody: bourbon up front, dry sandalwood underneath. Lightly scented on purpose, so your cologne stays the one doing the talking.
Where is it made?
In the USA. It's made for us in St. Louis, Missouri, then shipped from our warehouse in San Antonio, Texas.
