Effortless, Beachy Hair: How to Style Naturally with Clean Beauty Products

There’s something about that fresh-out-of-the-ocean look—effortless waves, soft texture, and the perfect amount of volume that looks styled yet undone. The best part? You don’t need harsh, aerosol-laden styling products to achieve it.

With the right clean beauty alternatives, you can create stunning, natural styles without exposing your hair (or lungs) to drying alcohols and synthetic polymers.

At BodFood, we believe in styling that enhances your hair’s natural texture while keeping your scalp and strands healthy. In this blog, we’ll show you how to achieve effortless, beachy volume using our Organic Dry Shampoo and Voluminous Sea Salt Spray—two styling essentials that work with your hair, not against it.

Why You Should Ditch Aerosol Dry Shampoos & Hairsprays

Most conventional dry shampoos and styling sprays contain:

🚫 Aerosols & Propellants – These can irritate the scalp and respiratory system, leading to long-term exposure concerns.
🚫 Talc & Aluminum Compounds – Found in many dry shampoos, these ingredients can clog pores and disrupt the scalp's natural balance.
🚫 Drying Alcohols – Common in hairsprays and texturising sprays, they strip moisture from the hair, causing brittleness and breakage over time.
🚫 Synthetic Polymers  – Many styling products coat the hair with plastic-like films, creating build-up that dulls shine and weighs hair down.

Why Indie Brands Like BodFood Are Better
Unlike mass-produced styling products, indie beauty brands focus on performance without compromise. At BodFood, we:

✔ Use natural, plant-based ingredients for styling that’s gentle and effective.
✔ Avoid synthetic fillers and aerosols that can damage hair and disrupt hormones.
✔ Support sustainable beauty with biodegradable, eco-conscious formulations.

Now, let’s talk about how to style your hair effortlessly using BodFood’s clean styling essentials.

Step 1: Create Natural Volume with Organic Dry Shampoo

Our Organic Dry Shampoo isn’t just for absorbing oil—it’s also a lightweight volumising powder that gives your hair natural lift and texture.

💡 Unlike aerosol dry shampoos, our formula is:
✔ 100% natural and free from talc, propellants, and synthetic fragrances
✔ Lightweight and invisible—no chalky white residue oncs you’ve brushed it through.
✔ Perfect for adding volume, texture, and freshness between washes

How to Use It for Effortless Volume:

• To refresh roots: Sprinkle a small amount onto your scalp, brush through, and let it absorb oil for a weightless, fresh feel.

• To add lift and texture: Apply a little to roots and tousle with fingertips for an instant volume boost.

• For soft styling grip: Use before braiding or styling for extra hold and texture without stiffness.

Step 2: Add Texture and Hold with a Voluminous Sea Salt Spray

For that perfectly undone, beachy texture, use our Voluminous Sea Salt Spray. Made with natural sea salt and botanical extracts, this spray creates soft waves, adds body, and even doubles as a natural hairspray when activated with a hairdryer.

💡 Why It’s Better Than Conventional Texturising Sprays:
✔ Free from drying alcohols that cause frizz and dehydration
✔ Non-sticky, lightweight hold with natural movement
✔ Can be air-dried for soft waves or heat-activated for stronger hold

How to Use It for the Ultimate Beachy Look:

• For effortless waves: Spray onto damp or dry hair and scrunch for natural movement and texture.

• For heat-activated hold: Use a hairdryer to set the spray, increasing its hold for longer-lasting style.

• As a natural hairspray: Mist lightly over finished styles to lock in volume and movement without stiffness or crunch.

Why BodFood’s Styling Products Are Different

Traditional styling products often contain ingredients that suffocate the scalp, dry out strands, and contribute to product build-up. BodFood’s styling range is designed to work naturally with your hair, offering:

🌿 Plant-Based Performance – No aerosols or harsh alcohols.
🌊 Breathable Styling – Enhances natural texture without creating heavy residue.
💛 Healthy Scalp Support – Avoids scalp irritation caused by traditional dry shampoos and sprays.

Styling your hair shouldn’t mean exposing yourself to harmful chemicals and artificial hold—it should be effortless, nourishing, and beautifully natural.
