Jessica Alba Reveals the 1 Hairspray You Need For Beach Waves (P.S. — She Made This)

The Beyond Hydrated collection will be your everyday essentials for normal-to-dry hair. "The line is formulated with coconut juice to increase the hydration in your hair and keep it soft and conditioned," Jessica said.

As for the deliciously perfumed bathroom that will result while you cleanse, "I wanted it to smell like vacation," she explained. "Every year we visit Mexico as a family and it's the most beautiful, magical place. It's the scent that they use at the [Rosewood Mayakoba] hotel that inspired me. It's a delicate combination of myrrh, frankincense, bergamot, warm amber, warm almond, and all of those delicate scents in their environment."

They're the kind of fragrances that turn even a rushed morning shower into a momentary mini escape (at least until you leave the bathroom) and can be experienced throughout the entire collection.

Despite being a sulfate-free formula, this natural blend doesn't skimp on the lather. It works up to a satisfying froth, washing away dirt, oil, and buildup without stripping strands of all the moisture that keeps it soft and shiny.

The luxurious cream melts into strands as you comb it through hair and feels surprisingly lightweight for a hydrating conditioner. You can feel the conditioning and rehydration happen almost instantly.

"I like to put the conditioner on the ends post-shower and twist my hair up into a bun," Jessica explained. "When I let it out — either later that day or in the morning — I have the softest waves and even softer ends."

This lightweight, milky spray is an everyday favorite for Jess, and it only takes one spritz to understand why. The deliciously scented leave-in conditioning spray turns even the most frazzled kinks and curls (like my own) into tangle-free softness. Hair dries with luster, and frizz is practically nonexistent.

The Truly Restored collection is specially formulated to help treat and condition dry, damaged hair. "The line uses vegetable-derived amino acids, instead of the more traditional horse amino acids," she said. "These are the building blocks of protein for your hair and help to keep it strong."

This rich, sulfate-free formula is made with amino acids to help revive dull, dehydrated hair and give it a glossy finish. "The blend is supposed to mimic the keratin composition of hair and help repair and revitalize tired strands while you cleanse," noted Jessica.

If you're a hot tool queen or frequent the salon for your colorings, this rich, pampering conditioner helps restore virgin softness and disguise any scorched flyaways. I left it on for five minutes before rinsing out, and I couldn't believe how impressively smooth my frayed and split ends became.

This multitasking cream is like the heavy-duty version of the Beyond Hydrated Moisture Milk. It detangles and smooths like any good leave-in conditioner should, and pampers the heck out of damaged, over-styled hair. I applied a small dab to damp hair and my dull, overworked strands somehow morphed into salon-worthy smoothness.

If your richest nighttime skin repair cream had a hair product equivalent, this buttery miracle cream is it. "I use it on my hair at least once a week," Alba said. "I take a bath and relax, and it's my 'me' time," says Alba. "Or if I'm going to be at the beach or swimming all day, I'll put the mask on my ends and just let it do its thing. I'll do it for my girls, too."

It's a little like asking a mother to choose her favorite child, but when we asked Jess to pick her favorite must have from the line, she didn't hesitate: sea salt spray. "The key was to formulate a sea salt spray that gives you volume and cool-girl texture without the stick or crunch," she explained. It's the product that helps you break up any pageant-y stiffness from over-styling to achieve that undone style.

"My morning routine includes sea salt spray at the root and the conditioning milk mid-shaft to ends," she added. "I'll twist it up with a clip and get ready to leave for work. Yes, with a wet head. It's about a 20 minute drive, and by the time I get there, there's a little bit of a natural wave with a little volume at my root." So in essence, she really did wake up like that. And now you can too!

"This was a no-brainer for the collection, because you have to protect your hair in order to get smooth, salon-like results from heat styling," explained Jessica. This lightweight spray is formulated with barley protein for thermal protection and honey for conditioning benefits, to help you achieve exactly that.

"People want a volumizing spray that will actually make it look like you have more hair once you blow through it," she said. This one helps to visibly lift hair at the root, adding instant fullness (thanks to pea proteins) that will remain until you wash it out.

This hydrating blend of avocado, grapeseed, and sea buckthorn oils somehow manages to feel weightless when applied to hair. I even applied along my hair line frizz (which normally can lead to seriously greasy roots), but this dry oil did all that smoothing without an ounce of heaviness. The littlest pump goes a long way so this bottle will last you a good four months of everyday use.
