Malibu C Swimmers Wellness System

A: Great question! While both systems are effective for your blonde swimmers’ hair, if you are swimming frequently, we recommend you use the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness system which is specifically formulated for all hair types exposed to pool and ocean water.

A: Interestingly, chlorine doesn’t actually build up on the hair. Chlorine oxidizes minerals onto the hair, which build up due to exposure to pool and shower water. However, the Swimmers Wellness Shampoo actually doubles as a body wash and is great for removing the harsh chlorine odor from your skin. The Swimmers Wellness Remedy neutralizes chlorine on contact and also gently, yet effectively, removes harsh mineral build-up that is the primary cause of swimmers’ hair challenges.

A: No. Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner will not remove “swimmers’ green” from your hair. “Swimmers’ green” is caused by a build-up on your hair of copper, which is mineral added to pool water to control algae growth. Oxidized hair is negatively charged, and minerals are positively charged, thus they attach onto the hair like a magnet and scientifically, a shampoo or conditioner doesn’t have the ability to break that magnetic attraction. The power is in the packet with the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Remedy, which is formulated to weaken the magnetic bond so that the mineral rocks can be released from the hair, washed away, instantly reversing the green discoloration.

A: No. Fundamentally, shampoos and conditioners cannot remove buildup. However, our Swimmers Wellness Remedy is recommended weekly, or as often as desired, to remove mineral build-up, which is the primary cause of swimmers’ hair challenges.

A: No. Unlike a clarifying shampoo, which can be very harsh, Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Shampoo is gentle and formulated without aggressive cleansing agents, such as sodium thiosulfate, which is common in many other swimmers’ shampoos and can strip the hair of its natural oils.

A: The Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Remedy is really the magic in the Swimmers Wellness System. It gently, yet effectively, draws out harsh mineral build-up and instantly removes discoloration, restores vibrancy, softness, swing and shine to trashed swimmers tresses and also soothes dry scalp caused by hair-harsh chemicals found in water.

A: Yes, the Swimmers Wellness Remedy is formulated with 100% vegan, pharmaceutical-grade wellness ingredients that are safe and gentle enough to use daily, even on color treated hair. The entire Malibu C Wellness Beauty Collection is formulated without the use of gluten, parabens and sulfate surfactants. 

A: Our Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner are safe and gentle enough for daily use, even on the days when you are not in the pool as it will help repel the hard water minerals in your shower that can latch onto your hair like a magnet. Additionally, for best results, be sure to use your customized at-home Malibu MakeOver at least once weekly.

A: We recommend using the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Collection as your regular post-swim hair care regimen. For best results, use the Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner daily (or as often as necessary) after swimming and your customized at-home Malibu MakeOver weekly, or as often as desired.

A: While both our Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Swimmers Wellness Remedy are safe and gentle enough for your swimsuit, we recommend using the Swimmers Wellness Remedy as it neutralizes chlorine on contact and removes perspiration salts as well as harsh minerals that have oxidized on your suit.

Additionally, we actually make a product called Malibu C SwimWear Care Crystals that is formulated exclusively to preserve the life and vibrancy of swimsuit. More information about it can be obtained HERE.

A: Absolutely. All of the products in our 100% Vegan Wellness Beauty Collection are sulfate surfactant-free and color safe.

A: This is an indication that you have SEVERE copper build-up on your hair and therefore you need an in-salon Malibu MakeOver, which is processed under heat. Ask your stylist for the world-famous Malibu MakeOver today!

A: While both Wellness Systems are safe and effective for swimmers shampooing in well water, we recommend our Swimmers Wellness System, which is formulated specifically for hair exposed to pool and ocean water, as well as minerals found in well water and is therefore customized for your specific hair type.

A: Great question! Interestingly, your dry, itchy scalp could actually be triggered by elements found in your pool and shower water and while either system is beneficial for you, we recommend our Scalp Wellness System. This system features our Scalp Therapy Wellness Remedy, which is formulated without a surfactant, as surfactants can irritate scalp conditions. It works by not only neutralizing chlorine on contact, but also normalizing the exfoliation rate of the scalp to help soothe your dry scalp. The Scalp Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner are gentle, yet effective and are formulated without harsh chemicals or fragrances that can be irritating to those suffering with a dry scalp. The pure essential oil of spearmint and eucalyptus will stimulate your senses without irritating your dry scalp.

A: The fragrance of the Swimmers Wellness Shampoo and Conditioner is one of our proprietary blends called “Malibu Fusion” which also features Orange and Vanilla Essential Oil.
