You know how some guys have that perfectly effortless, messy, beach-tousled hair? Think Ryan Gosling's Ken in Barbie, who literally has the looks of a Ken doll. I'll let you in on a little secret: those guys aren't spending all their hours between sea and sand. They're just using sea salt spray.

If you haven't heard of sea salt spray, you've found yourself at the right place, right time. A texturizer and styler in one, sea salt spray is...well, kind of exactly what it sounds like. It's probably the easiest hair product to use, and the saltwater in the formula gives you that voluminous, tousled, wavy look that won't move all day. All you have to do is spray it in, maybe rake your fingers through it once or twice. It's the beach in a bottle, the easiest grooming product on the market, and here, we rounded up 11 of the best ones.

There's a reason this is a best-seller. Great for all hair textures and types, this saltwater spray is as easy as a few spritzes for instantly better hair. Not only does this work as a volumizer, but it works as a hair styler, too, and holds your look all day.

This all-natural formula delivers a ruggedly handsome sort of look, like you just came in from surfing all day. It even has a pinewood scent to bring the outdoors right to you.

At an affordable price point, you can get enough sea salt spray to last you months with this bottle. The texturizer adds shine and volume to your hair, and makes for a wavy look without the frizz.

This is a no-nonsense sea salt spray, infused with proteins to strengthen your hair even as it works to style it. There's a subtle vanilla fragrance, and it has just the right amount of hold to make sure your hair doesn't go back to being flat after an hour.

If you already have naturally curly or wavy hair, this is the sea salt spray for you. It defines the curls you already have, eliminating frizz and creating a look that even Ken couldn't replicate.

This super-hydrating spray is great for taking care of your hair and amplifying its volume. In addition to sea salt, this spray is packed with sea kelp, which works as a hydrator and moisturizer—two for the price of one, and a cheap one at that.

Coconut water and sea salt make this a spray that basically bottles the ocean and makes it good for your hair. Those beachy waves will be yours in no time.

If you prefer a matte finish, opt for this sea salt spray. It creates tousled, voluminous hair that makes you look fresh out of the barbershop.

Sea salt spray, minus the salt. This clean option gives you soft, fresh hair without any grittiness, and a semi-matte finish that doesn't look too careful or perfect.

While enhancing your natural waves and curls, this spray also nourishes your hair thanks to the vitamin E and protein in the formula. It's a one-stop shop, baby.

Another great option for those who prefer a matte finish, this spray gives you that perfected look without any of the hassle or effort to actually get there.
