Product Information

The Malibu C Wellness set comes with a shampoo, a conditioner, and 4 sachets of demineralizing crystal gel treatments. There are also “Scalp Wellness” products that naturally remove and prevent the buildup of waterborne elements that can compound your scalp issues. We didn't experience any issues, but some reviewers online mention their white hair turning yellow after use. While the jury's still out on whether or not the shampoo or the hard water itself is to blame, it's something to keep in mind.

For light buildup, 15 – 20 minutes is enough. If you have heavy buildup leave it to process for up to 45 minutes. How Often Can You Use It? Malibu crystal gels can also be used to remove discoloration from the hair caused by brassiness and over-depositing of dye and toners to correct hair colors. How Does the Malibu C Crystal Gel Treatment Work?Unlike other brands that do it all, Malibu C’s mission is to help hard water sufferers restore their hair and skin health by reversing the damage done by minerals and oxidizers. The most worrying problem with hard water minerals coating the hair is that they create an obstructive barrier that prevents products like moisturizers from penetrating and adequately moisturizing and nourishing the hair, leading to weaker strands, straw-like texture, and eventually hair loss when they start breaking into pieces closer to the roots. Chelating products are designed specifically to remove minerals,” he says. These work by actually attaching to the mineral buildup in the hair and washing it away. On the other hand, he says that clarifying shampoos often contain stronger detergents which make them great for breaking down all residue, including excess oil and product buildup in addition to mineral residue. However, clarifying shampoos can also be quite stripping and potentially fade color-treated hair.

I have to admit, ever since I’ve been using this product, I have had fewer visits to the hair salon for color touch-ups, and my hair doesn’t feel dry and weighed down by hard water. As you peruse through hard water shampoos, the first thing DeBolt suggests is distinguishing whether a chelating shampoo (like the Living Proof Triple Detox Shampoo) or a clarifying shampoo (like Oribe's The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo) would be best for your specific hair needs. As we mentioned above, both are effective in treating the effects of hard water, but they work in different ways. Glucose, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Betaine.In terms of the scent, some people may notice a slight iron smell when using the Malibu crystal gel. This is because it removes iron and minerals from the hair. The iron smell may be more noticeable if your hair has severe hard water minerals buildup. Malibu Crystal Gel Ingredients While chelating shampoos are not as harsh as clarifying shampoos, they must still be used sparingly to avoid over-drying the hair and prevent discoloration.

When buying your shampoo, it’s essential that you read the product’s attributes to ensure it’s compatible for your hair type or condition. Do not buy a shampoo that is too strong for your hair. It can cause further complications. Don’t Let Hard Water Ruin Your Hair! If you have psoriasis or any other scalp condition, you may need to consult a healthcare professional before using it. Malibu crystal gels contain strong, active ingredients, such as ascorbic acid, that can aggravate existing scalp conditions. Where Can You Buy It from? The best hard-water shampoo will be filled with a mix of chelating agents, like EDTA (the most popular and effective, which is why you'll see it in almost every product on this list), along with vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid), apple cider vinegar, sodium citrate, sodium gluconate, and/or citric acid. As long as your shampoo has a few of these chelators and also promises to breakdown build-up, you'll be golden. Manage your dryness expectations The Malibu C crystal gel is an instant hair demineralizing treatment. It is highly concentrated with water-soluble nature-identical vitamin C, antioxidants, and chelating agents. The Malibu C crystal gel treatment is a versatile wellness product that can help with hair and scalp-related problems. It can clarify your hair, neutralize brassy tones, keep your blondes bright, and even prep your hair for the next color job.The Malibu C brand only does skin and hair care products that protect from hard water, chlorine from swimming pools, and well water. This vitamin C hair treatment stops oxidation of damaging salon chemicals after a hair service by neutralizing them. Creating a low pH acidic environment neutralizes any remaining chemicals in the hair to prevent further oxidative damage. What Does It Feel Like in the Hair? It is a ready-to-mix powder that activates with water to form a gel. The gel is then applied to the hair or scalp and left for 10-45 minutes to draw out hard water minerals, chlorine, medicinal buildup, brassiness, discoloration, toxins, and other impurities. It is recommended to use the treatment once a week to demineralize the hair. If you use it too frequently, it may cause dryness. Caution
