Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Remedy

Product Information

Malibu C will repair, restore and rejuvenate your world class hair extensions for continued use of Viola aftercare as it is the best products for your hair extensions. Okay, I'm seriously in love with this hard-water shampoo from Mielle. The sulfate-free formula has a mix of clarifying cleansers and EDTA to strip down mineral build-up from hard water, along with five (!) moisturizing oil s to keep your hair from fully drying ou t. If you're looking for a moisturizing shampoo for damaged hair, curly hair, or 4c hair that also breaks through minerals, try this one. Mark DeBolt is a celebrity colorist and co-founder of Mark Ryan Salon.

Currently, he’s an ambassador, educator, and hair color expert for Wella Professionals. Whether you're dealing with build-up from hard water or well water, this cult-favorite (seriously) shampoo from Ion will get your hair clean with two chelating ingredients: EDTA and sodium gluconate. It's also ~technically~ sulfate free (though still uses some strong clarifying cleansers), making a slightly milder choice on the spectrum of hard-water shampoos.

The first paragraph is about the routine I have to get these results and the second paragraph is about the shampoo itself.* Key ingredients: sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate (sulfate-free clarifier), disodium EDTA (chelating agent), moisturizing oils (sweet almond, argan, grapeseed, sacha inchi, and mongongo oils) Ingredients (Sachet): Glucose, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Betaine Yes, you can use a Malibu hair treatment on color-treated hair to remove mineral buildup, chlorine, and other impurities that can cause color fading and damage.What’s more, the gentle, sulfate-free formula also contains antioxidants to protect hair from environmental damage such as UV rays, and pollutants. And while you can buy the sudser solo, there’s also a set that comes with an accompanying conditioner and more intense treatments. It’s also a favorite of Shelly Aguirre, a stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. She points out that she finds it works especially well for those who have chlorine build-up on their hair and says she loves the brand’s in-salon clarifying treatment as well. The “Swimmers Wellness” products remove the build-up of minerals and chlorine to nourish, strengthen and protect your hair whilst preventing damage and discolouration caused by exposure to the pool, spa or ocean water. 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

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. The Malibu treatment is a good hair therapy that revitalizes hair, using vitamin C to remove buildup and residue for a refreshed and healthy look. When performed by a professional, it won’t dry out your hair. To maintain hair hydration and hair nourishment, use a moisturizing conditioner and deep condition weekly. Our range of Malibu C Shampoos are superior clarifying shampoos created for the removal of styling product resins to instantly restore your hair’s maximum manageability. There are also “Scalp Wellness” products that naturally remove and prevent the buildup of waterborne elements that can compound your scalp issues. Regardless of the type of shampoo you choose, DeBolt says that it must claim to target mineral build-up, specifically copper, iron, and calcium. He considers vitamin C (like in the Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil Control & Balancing Shampoo) to be the most effective mineral-removing ingredient, but another great ingredient to keep an eye out for is apple cider vinegar (which can be found in the dphue Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse) .

Finally!

She specializes in precision cuts as well as extensions and is known for helping teach her clients about the best ways to embrace and style their hair texture. Key ingredients: sodium c14-16 olefin sulfonate (sulfate-free clarifier); sodium gluconate and disodium EDTA (chelating agents) If your color-treated hair is basically unrecognizable from hard-water build-up, you need this product. It's technically a pre-shampoo treatment, rather than a regular shampoo, but it works to remove the super-tough minerals (see: magnesium and calcium) without any harsh or stripping ingredients—really. Just spray it all over your dry hair before stepping into the shower, let it sit for three minutes, then hop in and rinse out with your regular shampoo. Regardless of which type of hard-water shampoo you grab, know that it's going to leave your hair feeling at least a little dry and stripped (sorry—that's the name of the hard-water game). So if you're super worried about dryness, look for a shampoo formulated with moisturizers, like the rich, oil-filled Mielle Mongongo Oil Shampoo or the hydrating Pattern Clarifying Shampoo. Clarifying shampoos, on the other hand, will help strip away some of the mineral build-up—along with basic product build-up—but they aren’t as effective at harder-to-remove minerals, and they may not even remove tough product build-up, like waxes and silicones.
