Why Mane Ivy “Total Package” Is the One Product Every Santa Cruz Woman Needs in Her Routine

The Co-Artist Studio • Capitola, CA

If there’s one product, we recommend to every client who walks out of The Co-Artist Studio with shiny, healthy, expensive-looking hair… it’s Mane Ivy’s Total Package Hair Elixir.

It’s our #1 bestselling product, our most re-purchased retail item, and the one thing clients message us about saying things like:

“THIS is the best smell ever.”

“My hair drinks this stuff.”

“Why does my hair look better every day?”

Total Package isn’t just a serum. It’s hydration, shine, protection, and repair all in one bottle. And if you’ve never used a daily hair elixir before, you’re about to understand why your hair has been craving it.

Hydrate Your Face Every Day… So Why Not Your Hair?

This is the part no one talks about: your hair needs daily moisture just as much as your skin does.

The sun, salt air, ocean water, hard water, heat styling, brushing all of it pulls moisture out of your hair. Especially here in Santa Cruz where we live in a mix of sun, fog, wind, and beach air. You wouldn’t skip moisturizer on your face, right? So don’t skip hydration for your hair.

Mane Ivy Total Package Hair Elixir is designed to be your daily hair moisturizer, keeping your hair soft, shiny, hydrated, and protected every single day.

Why It’s a Santa Cruz Essential

Our clients deal with a very specific set of hair challenges:

  • Coastal humidity → frizz and puffy hair

  • Ocean + hard water → dry, dull, tangled ends

  • Sun exposure → faded color and fragile hair

  • Heat styling → damage, breakage, and split ends

Total Package solves all of this with one daily product. One bottle that you can use every day for hydration, shine, and protection.

Why It’s Called “Total Package”

This isn’t a one-trick oil. Here’s why we call it the Total Package:

  • Deep Daily Hydration
    Keeps dry, thirsty hair soft and touchable. Blondes stay silky, brunettes stay glossy, and natural texture stays defined instead of crispy.

  • Glass-Like Shine (Without Grease)
    Lightweight and fast absorbing. You get high shine hair that still has movement never heavy or oily.

  • Heat Protection
    Helps shield your hair from hot tools, blow dryers, and sun exposure so your cuticle stays smoother and healthier over time.

  • Repairs and Smooths
    Softens rough, frayed ends and supports the hair’s cuticle so your hair looks and feels healthier with consistent use.

  • Frizz Control That Actually Works
    Especially on foggy, humid, beachy Santa Cruz days — your hair stays smooth instead of ballooning out.

  • The Scent Clients Rave About
    Clean, soft, addictive. The kind of scent people actually comment on. Most of our clients say, “I bought it for my hair… I stayed for the smell.”

How to Use

For best results, use it every single day just like your face moisturizer.

On Damp Hair (After You Wash)

  • Towel dry your hair

  • Apply 1–2 pumps to mid-lengths and ends

  • Comb through to distribute

  • Blow dry or air dry as usual

On Dry Hair (everyday)

  • Use about ½ pump

  • Smooth through mid-lengths and ends

  • Focus on frizz, dull areas, and dry ends

  • Perfect for refreshing styling and adding instant shine

Think of it as your daily hair drink — a quick step that makes every style look better.

Why Our Stylists Recommend It After Every Color Service

At The Co-Artist Studio, we’re known for balayage, blonding, grey coverage, and premium smoothing services and the common thread between every beautiful end result is healthy hair.

Mane Ivy Total Package is one of our go-to recommendations because it:

  • Helps seal and smooth the cuticle after color

  • Keeps color-treated hair soft instead of brittle

  • Extends the life and shine of balayage and highlights

  • Makes at-home styling easier and faster

  • Supports long-term hair health between salon visits

Healthy hair holds color better, styles easier, and looks more polished — and this daily hydrating elixir is one of the simplest ways to protect your investment in the chair.
