end-of-Summer Hair Rehab: Restore Your Strands After Sun, Salt, and Chlorine
After months of sunny beach days, pool parties, and weekend getaways, your hair might be feeling less like “endless summer” and more like “endless shine.” Sun exposure, salty ocean water, and chlorine from the pool can strip your strands of essential moisture and leave behind mineral buildup that dulls color and weakens your hair from the inside out.
At The Co-Artist Studio in Capitola, we specialize in bringing hair back to life after summer takes its toll. Our summer hair repair treatments combine deep hydration, cuticle-smoothing technology, and the L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox cleansing system to remove harmful metals and impurities—so your hair looks and feels healthier instantly.
Signs Your Hair Needs a Post-Summer Reset
- Ends that feel rough, brittle, or look frayed
- Hair that tangles easily or feels heavier than usual
- A noticeable loss of shine and softness
- Color that appears faded, brassy, or uneven
- Overall dryness and breakage from UV, salt, or chlorine
- Mineral or metal buildup from hard water, ocean salt, or pool chemicals that leaves hair looking dull and feeling coated
Many clients don’t realize that metals like copper and iron from water—and chemical residue from pools—can weaken hair fibers, cause color to fade faster, and contribute to breakage. That’s why we start every repair service with the L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox system to deeply cleanse and protect before adding moisture and shine back in.
Our Go-To Summer Hair Repair Services
Gloss Treatment – Perfect for refreshing faded color, adding mirror-like shine, and smoothing the hair cuticle. This service begins with the L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox shampoo to gently remove metals and minerals from hard water, chlorine, and environmental buildup. Once your hair is prepped and purified, we apply a custom gloss to restore vibrancy, tone, and silky smoothness.
Deep Conditioning Treatment – A rich, customized service designed to deeply hydrate and nourish. We start with the L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox cleansing system to eliminate impurities that can cause dryness, breakage, and color fade. Then, we apply a targeted deep conditioning mask to replenish lost moisture, strengthen fragile areas, and leave hair soft, shiny, and more resilient—perfect for reversing summer damage and protecting your hair for the cooler months ahead.
