Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Remedy

Product Information

There are also “Scalp Wellness” products that naturally remove and prevent the buildup of waterborne elements that can compound your scalp issues.

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. 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 expectationsWhether you’re a swimmer, live in a hard water area, have coloured hair or are dealing with damaged hair and scalp, Malibu C have a collection of at-home treatments suitable for you. Typically, most shampoos—even the bottle you've got sitting in your shower right now— will contain one or two ingredients (known as chelators) to help break down minerals. But the difference between your regular shampoo and a hard-water or clarifying shampoo is the amount and strength of each chelator in the formula. The first paragraph is about the routine I have to get these results and the second paragraph is about the shampoo itself.*

Shampoo, rinse and pour Hard Water crystals across wet palm. Rub hands together, adding water to dissolve crystals. Apply and scrunch throughout hair, then allow to remain on hair for up to 5 minutes. Rinse. Shampoo, rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner, then rinse. 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 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.Ingredients (Shampoo): Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamide DIPA, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, PEG-16 Macadamia Glycerides, Polyquaternium 10, Linum Usitatissimum Seed Extract, Sodium Gluconate, Glucose, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance/Parfum, Limonene, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool
