If You Use Water, You Need This Brand In Your Backbar

Water is causing your hair problems, and you might not even know it. Minerals and chemicals in your water, like magnesium, calcium and chlorine for example, could be causing frizz, discoloration, dryness, and more. This is why you need Malibu C, but first, let’s take a look at water and what’s it is doing to your hair.

Hard water, found in over 85% of homes in the United States, is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. While it’s safe for drinking and everyday use, it can create ongoing challenges for hair and scalp health. As water moves through soil and rock, it picks up these minerals, and when you shower, those minerals are left behind as residue. Over time, this buildup can become difficult to remove with regular shampoo alone.

Malibu C’s Water Hardness Map lets you enter your zip code and instantly see how hard your water is, giving you personalized insight into what your hair is up against every day.


Hard water minerals form a film that prevents moisture from properly penetrating the hair shaft. This often leaves hair feeling dry, rough, tangled, or heavier than usual. Color-treated hair may fade more quickly or appear dull, while blonde and gray tones can take on brassy or discolored hues. Many people also notice that their products stop performing as well. Conditioners don’t feel as hydrating, styling becomes more difficult, and hair loses its natural shine and movement. The issue isn’t always the hair itself, but what’s coating it. Chlorine can also be added to water to make it safe for our use. Chlorine can cause dryness, frizz and the dreaded “swimmers’ green” hair that lighter tones can see after swimming.


This is where specialized Malibu C Remedies can make a difference. Unlike traditional shampoos that focus on cleansing oils and dirt, Malibu C Remedies, freshly activated by the user to deliver the most potent form of the product, are designed to remove mineral buildup through a gentle yet effective chelating process. When mixed with water, the vitamin-based crystals activate to bind to and lift away stubborn minerals from the hair. This helps restore softness, shine, and manageability without harsh ingredients or over-stripping.


Malibu C’s Crystal Gel in-salon service is recommended to detox the hair of minerals, chlorine and product buildup. Think of it like going to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned. Using Malibu C Remedies regularly after your Crystal Gel helps maintain the in-salon results while at home, like brushing your teeth in-between dental visits. Once mineral buildup is cleared away, moisture can better absorb, color looks brighter and last longer, and products perform the way they’re meant to.

Addressing mineral buildup isn’t an occasional luxury; it’s an essential step in maintaining healthy, balanced hair.

In short, if you use water, you need Malibu C!
