Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion: Like Surf Spray But Better

Growing up near the water, I’ve always loved the way my hair looks after a day at the beach. The salty scent, the texture — I wanted it to linger forever and dreaded washing it out of my hair. I spent summers in middle school filling up a spray bottle in the ocean so I could mist it into my hair whenever I pleased. (I also filled another bottle with lemon juice in an attempt to achieve natural highlights from the sun, but that disaster story can be saved for another time.) When Bumble and Bumble launched their Surf Spray ($27) in 2001, I finally had a true, awesome replication of beach hair — complete with seaweed and kelp extracts.  The salt-infused mist could help me simulate spent-the-day-in-the-ocean textured strands even when landlocked in Manhattan!

So imagine my delight when Bumble just launched a new version: Surf Infusion ($29). Unlike the original, which has a more matte, gritty finish, this salty spray is mixed with ingredients like coconut, mango seed, passion fruit, and palm oils for soft conditioned waves with a sheen. The tropical scent is intoxicating (I’m a sucker for anything that smells like sunscreen or umbrella drinks) and the cool, tousled, wind-blown look it gives my hair is one I haven’t been able to replicate using any other product. Even real ocean water.
