Malibu C Hard Water Hair Remedy Chelating Treatment Packets, 3-Pack — Vitamin C Detox & Color-Safe Shine

Malibu C Hard Water Hair Remedy is a single-use chelating treatment packet that lifts mineral deposits and scalp buildup to restore shine and clarity to hair affected by hard water.

Hard water minerals and metal deposits cling to hair and scalp, leaving strands dull, discolored, and harder to manage. Malibu C's vitamin C complex is formulated to chelate common minerals—like calcium, magnesium, copper and iron—so they rinse away without aggressive stripping. Each packet offers a concentrated detox step you can use weekly to refresh your color, reduce brassiness, and improve moisture retention.

How does this chelating packet remove mineral buildup?

The formula uses a vitamin C complex and targeted chelating agents to bind metals and minerals deposited on hair and scalp. When applied to wet hair, the crystals dissolve and capture metal ions, allowing them to rinse out rather than remain attached to the cuticle. This lifts residues that cause dullness and discoloration without harsh surfactants.

• Binds calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and chlorine residues
• Dissolves crystals in water for easy application
• Removes buildup without removing salon color
• Safe for chemically treated and color-treated hair

What is the correct way to use a packet for best results?

Use the packet after shampooing: pour the crystals into your wet palm, rub with water to dissolve, and distribute from roots to ends. Leave on for about five minutes to allow the chelation reaction, then rinse thoroughly and shampoo again. Finish with Malibu C Hard Water Conditioner for optimal hydration and shine.

• Apply to clean, wet hair; do not mix with conditioner
• Leave for approximately five minutes before rinsing
• Repeat cleansing step, then condition for best moisture balance
• Use weekly or as needed for persistent mineral exposure

Will this treatment affect color-treated or chemically processed hair?

Designed for safety on color-treated and processed hair, the chelating treatment targets inorganic mineral deposits rather than penetrating or stripping pigment. It helps remove brassiness and restore tone caused by metal buildup while maintaining hair integrity. Always follow with conditioner and perform a strand test if you have concerns about a specific professional service.

• Formulated to avoid unnecessary pigment removal
• Improves manageability of bleached, highlighted, and colored hair
• Recommended weekly or when discoloration appears
• Gentle enough for chemically treated textures when used as directed

What ingredients and claims should I expect?

Malibu C uses a vitamin C complex and chelating agents along with a vegan, cruelty-free base that excludes parabens, preservatives, gluten, added sodium chloride, and fragrance. The packets concentrate the active components so a single application delivers an intensive cleanse. While formulated for visible improvements in shine and color clarity, results depend on water hardness and frequency of use.

• Vitamin C complex for metal chelation and brightening
• Free from parabens, gluten, fragrance, and added sodium chloride
• 100% vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• Professional-grade formulation trusted since 1985

Who is this for: This treatment is ideal for anyone exposed to hard water, swimmers, or people noticing brassiness, dullness, or reduced manageability—especially those with color-treated or chemically processed hair. It's a straightforward weekly detox for users wanting to protect tone and revive shine without harsh stripping or salon tools.
