If your hair feels heavy, dull, or greasy at the roots, or coated despite regular washing, you’re likely dealing with buildup, and shampoo alone isn’t enough. At Craft Collective Salon Group in North Hills, our Detox & Clarifying Treatments gently but effectively remove buildup, hard water minerals, excess oil, and product residue to leave your hair and scalp fresh, clean, and weightless.


These treatments create the perfect foundation for color services, extensions, smoothing treatments, and healthy hair maintenance.


Why Detox & Clarifying Treatments Matter

Buildup accumulates from everyday life:


• Dry shampoo

• Hard water

• Styling products

• Oils and silicones

• Sweat

• Environmental pollution

• Chlorine

• Mineral-heavy well water


Over time, buildup causes:


• Greasy roots

• Dull mids and ends

• Frizz that won’t smooth

• Difficulty holding curl

• Faster color fade

• Rough texture

• Flakes or scalp congestion

• Heavy, lifeless hair


A salon-grade detox restores clarity, softness, and movement.


The Craft Collective Detox Menu

We customize your detox based on your scalp type, hair condition, and long-term goals.


Clarifying Cleanse

A gentle, salon-level reset that removes topical buildup from:


• Dry shampoos

• Styling products

• Oils

• Sweat

• Silicone-based products


Perfect before color appointments, smoothing services, or extensions.


Pairs beautifully with Glossing & Shine Enhancements


Hard Water & Mineral Removal Treatment

Hard water minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium cling to the hair and create dryness, brassiness, and roughness. This treatment lifts mineral buildup to restore:


• Soft texture

• True color tone

• Natural shine

• Manageability


Great for clients with well water or mineral-heavy municipal water.

For clients who need a reset but also struggle with dryness. We detox the hair and then infuse deep hydration to create balanced, soft results.
