Save Your Ratty T-Shirts
Save Your Ratty T-Shirts I know I can't be the only one who has a stack of T-shirts she doesn't wear but keeps to remind herself that once upon a time she did run races and do charity work. Instead of letting your old t-shirts guilt trip you, turn them into an easy styling tool. Begin by misting a sea salt spray sparingly all over damp hair. Russo's favorite is Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. Next, take two-inch sections of hair and, with a t-shirt, scrunch each section from the ends to the scalp. Russo uses a t-shirt rather than his hands to help avoid frizz and friction. A t-shirt even works better than a towel, because it minimizes breakage, says Malafronte. "A cotton t-shirt will sop up just the right amount of water and moisture from your locks leaving the perfect canvas for beachy waves." Let hair air dry, or for more volume, use a finger-like diffuser on the end of your blow dryer.

For a DIY alternative, make Russo's homemade sea salt spray at home: Fill an eight-ounce spray bottle with water. Add a few tablespoons of sea salt to the bottle (for more texture, add more salt), and finish by adding a few drops of moisturizing product like Moroccanoil or your daily conditioner. Shake, spray and enjoy your Ariel-like hair.
