Malibu C Hair Care for Hard Water, Chlorine and Mineral Buildup

Hard Water Wellness

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness is designed for hair exposed to water containing calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and other minerals. These elements can gradually accumulate on the hair and affect its feel, colour and shine.

How can you tell if hard water is affecting your hair?

Possible signs of mineral buildup include:

• Dull hair that is difficult to make shiny
• Dry, rough or straw-like texture
• Shampoo that does not lather easily
• Hair that feels heavy despite washing
• Orange, copper, yellow or green-looking tones
• Blonde colour becoming dull or changing tone
• Uneven colour results
• Hair appearing less responsive to treatments

These signs can also have other causes. Water testing or a salon consultation can help confirm the presence of mineral deposits.

Hard Water Wellness Hair Remedy

Hard Water Wellness Hair Remedy is a periodic crystal treatment. Once dissolved in water, it helps loosen minerals contributing to a dull, dry or discoloured appearance.

How to use Hard Water Wellness Remedy

1. Shampoo the hair and rinse.
2. Pour the crystals into a wet palm.
3. Add a small amount of water and rub your hands together to dissolve them.
4. Distribute the mixture evenly through the hair.
5. Gently scrunch and massage through the lengths.
6. Leave it on for up to five minutes or according to the directions.
7. Rinse thoroughly.
8. Shampoo again when directed.
9. Finish with conditioner or Miracle Repair.

Hard Water Wellness Conditioner

Hard Water Wellness Conditioner completes the routine by moisturizing after cleansing. It improves softness, flexibility and detangling but does not replace the crystal treatment when mineral buildup is present.

Swimmers Wellness

Malibu C Swimmers Wellness is intended for people who regularly swim in pools or mineral-rich water. Chlorine, copper and pool chemicals can make hair feel dry, appear dull or become difficult to manage.

Why does blonde hair turn green after swimming?

The green appearance associated with swimming pools is generally caused by oxidized copper deposits adhering to the hair rather than the green colour of chlorine itself. Chlorine can weaken the fiber and make it easier for minerals to attach.

Swimmers Wellness Conditioner

Swimmers Wellness Conditioner helps restore softness and moisture after pool exposure. It ideally complements shampoo or treatment designed to remove chlorine and mineral deposits.

How to protect hair before swimming

1. Thoroughly saturate the hair with clean water.
2. Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner when permitted.
3. Wear a properly fitted swim cap.
4. Rinse the hair immediately after swimming.
5. Use a Swimmers Wellness routine regularly.

Malibu Blondes

Malibu Blondes Wellness Hair Remedy helps remove deposits that dull blonde, highlighted, grey and bleached hair. Unlike purple shampoo, this treatment does not primarily work by depositing pigment; it removes elements that interfere with blonde brightness.

It may reduce the appearance of certain mineral-related tones but does not replace pigment-based toning when warmth comes from the natural hair colour or insufficient lightening.

Malibu Blondes vs. purple shampoo

Product How it works Best for Malibu Blondes Wellness Remedy Helps remove mineral deposits and buildup Blonde hair dulled or discoloured by water, metals or residue Purple shampoo Deposits temporary violet pigments Yellow tones originating from the hair’s underlying tone

The two types of products can complement one another. Avoid combining multiple intensive treatments on the same day without considering the hair’s condition and porosity.

Scalp Therapy

Malibu C Scalp Therapy Wellness Remedy is designed to purify the scalp and remove oil, dead skin, mineral and styling-product buildup.

It may be useful for people who frequently apply dry shampoo, hair fibers, oils or styling products directly to the roots.

Scalp Wellness Conditioner

Scalp Wellness Conditioner helps moisturize while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feel. Follow the directions and avoid excessive application at the roots when hair becomes oily easily.

Scalp Therapy provides cosmetic care. Consult a healthcare professional for pain, lesions, thick plaques, significant redness or persistent itching.

Color Prepare before hair colour

Malibu C Color Prepare is a pre-treatment designed to remove minerals and residue that may interfere with hair colour. It helps create a cleaner foundation for more uniform colour deposit.

It can be especially useful when hair is exposed to hard water, well water, chlorine or heavy styling buildup.

What does Color Prepare do?

• Helps remove buildup before colouring
• Supports more uniform pigment absorption
• Helps reduce unpredictable results caused by minerals
• Prepares hair for colouring and lightening services

When using Color Prepare immediately before colouring, follow the manufacturer’s or colourist’s directions for the exact order of steps.

Quick Fix after hair colour

Malibu C Quick Fix is designed for light correction immediately following an oxidative colour service. It helps remove selected surface pigments or soften a result that is slightly too dark.

Quick Fix is not intended to completely remove old colour, direct dye or heavily accumulated dark pigment. Significant corrections should be performed by a professional colourist.

Quick Fix vs. CPR

Treatment Use Correction level Quick Fix Rapid adjustment of freshly applied oxidative colour Light CPR Color Pigment Remover Reduction of accumulated artificial oxidative pigments More significant professional correction

Malibu C CPR is generally intended for professional use. It requires an assessment of colour history, porosity and hair strength.

Crystal Gel professional treatment

Malibu C Crystal Gel is a professional treatment designed to deeply remove mineral, metal, medication and selected environmental deposits from the hair.

It can be used before colour and chemical services to create a more uniform foundation. The crystals are mixed with water, applied section by section and generally activated under controlled heat.

Because of its precise protocol and use of heat, Crystal Gel should be performed by a trained professional.

Un-Do-Goo for styling buildup

Malibu C Un-Do-Goo Shampoo is a clarifying shampoo primarily designed to remove styling-product, silicone, oil and dry-shampoo residue.

Clarifying shampoo and hard-water treatment do not perform exactly the same function. Un-Do-Goo primarily targets cosmetic buildup, while Hard Water Wellness uses chelating agents to target minerals.

Clarifying shampoo vs. chelating treatment

Product type Primarily removes Malibu C example Clarifying shampoo Oil, polymers, silicones and styling residue Un-Do-Goo Chelating treatment Calcium, iron, copper, magnesium and other minerals Hard Water Wellness or Crystal Gel

Miracle Repair

Malibu C Miracle Repair is a reconstructor for dry, porous, fragile or damaged hair affected by chemical services, heated tools, chlorine or minerals.

It helps improve strength, softness and manageability. It is particularly useful after a purifying treatment when the hair requires more intensive conditioning care.

How to use Miracle Repair

1. Cleanse and rinse the hair.
2. Gently remove excess water.
3. Distribute Miracle Repair through the mid-lengths and ends.
4. Leave it on for the recommended processing time.
5. Rinse thoroughly, ideally with cool or lukewarm water.

Color Wellness Conditioner

Malibu C Color Wellness Conditioner moisturizes and detangles colour-treated hair. It complements a routine intended to maintain softness and vibrancy between salon colour services.
