Frugal "Malibu Treatment" to Remove Rust and Hard Water Build-up from Hair

RE: Frugal "Malibu Treatment" to Remove Rust and Hard Water Build-up from Hair Post By Maude (Guest Post) (10/05/2008) The Malibu Crystal Gel treatment will not color your hair, it removes minerals that have deposited in your hair cuticles causing damage and deposits that block the full effect of expensive colorings and perms. If you have brassy hair they have products for that. Its a $3.00 packet, and you going to spend 90.00 on a hair color. Do this first before going to salon for color and perm, and then use say once a month to prevent more damage to hair. I get an iron smell coming off my hair when I put the gel on for an hour under a plastic hair cap. It's my ins policy for the salon trips. :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frugal "Malibu Treatment" to Remove Rust and Hard Water Build-up from Hair Post By Mel B (Guest Post) (10/04/2008) Is is harmful to the hair to use the Malibu treatments more than once per month?

I have a couple questions. Can I use the lemonade that comes in a container that already has sugar mixed with it? Is it going to get rid of the orange out of my hair if it has been like that since I bleached it or is it just for hard water? Will it get chlorine out?

There is a Malibu Crystal Gel treat specifically for well water. And I spent a ton of money to finally find this remarkable product. You can get it done a SMARTSTYLE salons in Walmart stores for about 10 bucks. Make sure to specifiy well water crystal gel treatments. The gel is mixed and then goes on your hair and with a cap you sit under the dryer for 20- 45 minutes. It is a must do before you color your hair if you have well water. You can do this once per month. This is the ultimate fix, better than Malbu Shampoo - or any home remedies. EC mode also makes a crystal gel treatment. If you have a friend who is a cosmetoligist you can have them buy these packs for a 1.75 each at beauty supply and you will need some caps. Then use a blow dryer to heat it up on your head. Make sure you specify CRYSTAL GEL TREAMENT FOR WELL WATER ( NOT Chlorine) Well water. Don't mistake this for an packet that is an additive to your shampoo, it is crystal gel treatment. its a dry mix but you do not add it to shampoo you mix and place on hair and then process.

My hair was so dull and had turned a brown color(it was originally sunbleached blonde). I was getting so frustrated with it that I wanted to cut it off. I mentioned it to a blonde neighbor and she said she gets malibu treatments ever couple of months. After looking it up I found this sight and tried the lemonade packets. I have hair to the middle of my back and I had to use 15 kool-aid size packets with a few tablespoons of water. I let it set with a towel over it for 15 minutes then shampooed like mentioned above. I was so shocked that after only $2 my hair looked wonderful and shiny. Thank you so much.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frugal "Malibu Treatment" to Remove Rust and Hard Water Build-up from Hair Post By darlene m. (Indiana) (Guest Post) (08/19/2006) I have very hard well water. my hair use to be very summer blonde. it became very rusty,dull and flat. I was very suprised when i had given myself a perm and the waving lotion turned extremely purple. I was afraid that it had stained my hair purple. but when i rinsed out the waving lotion I was very pleased to see that my hair , even though it was still wet , i could tell that it had been significantly lightened. All of the orange color was gone. When it dried i was over joyed to see that my hair was almost as blonde as it had originally been!! Even if you don't want a perm you can just put the waving solution on damp hair wait for about five minutes rinse it out use the neutalizer for as long as the instruction tell you . usually about 5 minutes. then rinse it out. then condition well. Hope it works as well for you as did for me.. good luck!!

Cheap, and identical to Malibu.

Mix vinegar to water 2 to 1...put in a spray bottle...shampoo your hair, then towel dry....spray the vinegar mixture into hair and comb through repeatedly...rinse with warm water. You can do a light shampoo afterwards to kill the vinegar smell....this will dissolve the build up on your hair with no damage to hair or scalp. I used to be a hair stylist and I used this back in the 80's when the hair products were designed to make hair stand straight up, change colors, and less frizzy....what a era! Also available at "Sally's Beauty Supply" is a product called "Shimmer Lights" which is designed to take the discoloration out of naturally blonde or bottle blonde hair. Smoke will cling to light colored hair and turn it brown over a period of time. This takes the discoloration caused by smoking and the over use of hair products off of your hair regardless of the color....works great and is inexpensive also....
