Ocean water has been traditionally linked with a variety of healing effects. This is due to its high mineral content, which revitalizes and strengthens the skin. As such, salt water can improve the quality of your hair by reacting with the scalp.
Antifungal
Ocean water has antifungal properties, which eliminates the types of fungus that are known to cause dandruff. This is achieved by fungus being forced to expend more energy on osmoregulation, which stifles their growth.
Antimicrobial
The antimicrobial properties of ocean water are known to treat chronic scalp conditions such as eczema and psoriasis while preventing wound infections caused by cuts or scratches.
Works as a Natural Shampoo
Salt water is a nutrient-rich natural shampoo that keeps your hair clean and silky by removing excess sebum and oil that stifle healthy hair growth cycles. This is ideal for individuals who have naturally greasy hair, a problem worsened with exposure to hot weather.
You’ll be able to enjoy the refreshing effects of shampoo without fretting over synthetic compounds such as parabens and sulfates. Ocean water also functions as an organic exfoliator by stimulating blood circulation in your scalp, which regulates the development of hair strands.
Additionally, ocean water contains a high concentration of nutrients like potassium and selenium, which are known to enhance the quality of your hair and negate the toxic effects of substances such as mercury. This also provides greater protection for your scalp, which mitigates the frustrating effects of flakiness, dryness, and itch.
A Choice Alternative
Ocean water is extremely beneficial for your hair, unfortunately, most of us do not live near the seaside. The good news is there is a traditional formula to recreate the natural goodness of ocean water. This involves a blended solution of sea salt and Castille soap (a vegetable oil-based soap available in most bath essential shops). The solution mimics the effects of ocean water, keeping your hair strands strong and luscious – just as nature intended.
