Alex Costa Sea-Salt Spray for Men — 4 oz Beachy Volume & Matte Texture, Sulfate-Free

Alex Costa Sea-Salt Spray by Forte Series is a lightweight texturizing mist designed to add beachy volume, enhance natural curls and waves, and create matte, touchable texture for all hair types.

Formulated with authentic sea salt, kelp extract and hydrolyzed rice proteins, this 4 oz spray is positioned as a versatile pre-styler and finish product from the Forte Series line created by Alex Costa. It aims to deliver thicker-looking hair and distinct separation without heavy residue, while remaining free of sulfates and parabens. Use it on wet hair before blow-drying to build body, or on dry hair to revive texture and definition.

How does this spray add volume without weighing hair down?

The sea salt crystals create subtle grit and lift at the hair shaft, which increases body and tactile separation. Hydrolyzed rice proteins help hair hold shape and retain moisture, reducing the crunchy feel commonly associated with strong texturizers.

• Authentic sea salt provides lightweight texture and lift.
• Hydrolyzed rice proteins support moisture retention and hold.
• Sulfate- and paraben-free formula minimizes buildup.

Will this work for my hair type and natural texture?

Yes — the product is marketed for use on all hair types, from fine and straight to thick and curly. It enhances existing curls and waves while also adding grip to limp or freshly washed hair so styles hold better during the day.

• Fine/thin hair: creates visible lift and separation at the roots.
• Wavy/curly hair: defines and amplifies natural texture without stiffness.
• Thick hair: adds beachy surface texture and manageability.

How should I apply this sea-salt spray to get the best results?

Use it as a pre-styler on towel-dried hair for added volume, or spritz onto dry hair to refresh and texturize. For more control, scrunch while blow-drying on cool; for a relaxed look, finger-style after spraying and let hair air-dry.

• Pre-styler: spray 3–5 times into towel-dried hair, then blow-dry and shape.
• Finish/refresh: spray 3–5 times into dry hair, scrunch or ruffle with fingers.
• Use the spray sparingly near the roots for lift or all over for surface texture.

What active ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

The blend focuses on marine-sourced and hair-supporting ingredients: sea salt for texture and lift, kelp extract for a nutrient-rich boost, and hydrolyzed rice proteins to help strengthen and lock in moisture. The formulation omits sulfates and parabens to reduce the risk of drying or lingering residue.

• Sea salt: adds instant grit, body and a matte finish.
• Kelp extract: supplies minerals and antioxidants for scalp and hair health support.
• Hydrolyzed rice proteins: improve hair’s ability to retain moisture and hold shape.

Who is this for: Alex Costa Sea-Salt Spray by Forte Series suits anyone seeking an easy way to build natural-looking volume and effortless texture—men wanting beachy, lived-in styles, people with limp hair who need instant lift, or those with waves and curls who want clearer definition. It’s presented as an everyday option for anyone who prefers lightweight, matte finishes without heavy styling residue.
