HOW TO USE
Our Brand Story
Born in California, BASED (Based Bodyworks) grew out of a real‑world grooming pain point.
While creating men’s hair‑care educational content online, our founder noticed a clear gap in the market. Many existing men’s products forced users to choose: strong styling performance with harsh ingredients, or gentle formulas that deliver unsatisfying results. Young men wanted better options that work well without compromising scalp health.
What started as a small‑batch run of only 100 units out of a garage grew into the BASED you know today. The name BASED stands for grounded truth and no‑compromise values — not chasing marketing trends, but building products for how men actually live, sweat, shower and style their hair.
We hold two core commitments.
Performance without compromise: every formula is developed in‑house, built to deliver reliable results for wavy, curly, coily and dry damaged hair.
Clean formulation without compromise: we avoid parabens, silicones, phthalates and unnecessary additives. Full‑ingredient transparency means every ingredient serves a clear purpose, nothing is hiddenBased Body.

Why BASED over other sea salt sprays?
Why BASED over other sea salt sprays?
Most sprays use harsh alcohols and synthetic fragrance to fake the beach effect. Ours is made with real sea salt, naturally-derived scent, and balancing ingredients-so you get texture without making your hair look and feel worse over time.
Can I use it with other styling products?

Yes, BASED Sea Salt Spray works great by itself but we always encourage mixing & matching different product combos to see what works best for your hair. One popular combination is the BASED Beachy Flow Duo , which is a mix of BASED Sea Salt Spray and BASED Pomade.
