Smart Summer Hair: Charleston’s Guide to Frizz-Free, Effortless Style
Charleston summers are all charm—until the humidity hits your hair. Whether you're dealing with frizz, dryness, or color fading, warm-weather hair care calls for more than just a cute sunhat. At Stella Nova, we believe great hair starts with conscious care and high-performance products that work with the season, not against it. Here's your refined guide to keeping things smooth, polished, and low-maintenance all summer long.
What Summer Weather Does to Your Hair
Charleston's heat and humidity raise moisture levels in the air, causing the outer layer of the hair to swell. The result? Frizz, puffiness, and styles that won’t hold.
Combine that with UV exposure, saltwater, and chlorine, and your hair can quickly become dry, dull, or prone to breakage—especially if it’s color-treated.
Refined Solutions, Tailored to You
We’re not chasing trends—we’re tailoring timeless looks with treatments that help you get more out of your hair this season.
Keratin Smoothing Treatments
Smooth frizz, soften texture, and help your hair resist Charleston’s humidity. Our full and express keratin services are customized to your hair type and lifestyle.
Hydrating Conditioning Therapies
Think of this as a reboot for dry or sun-exposed hair. We use moisture-rich masks to restore softness, improve elasticity, and prep your hair for the elements.
Scalp Reset Treatments
Between sunscreen, saltwater, and sweat, your scalp goes through a lot in the summer. Our cleansing and hydrating scalp treatments help restore balance—so your hair grows stronger and healthier.
