Many people believe chlorine causes hair to turn green after swimming, however it’s actually caused by copper. As a stylist, encountering clients with green swimmers' hair is common, especially during the summer months. Chlorine in the pool acts as an oxidizer, turning the copper buildup on hair green. This causes frustration for both clients and stylists alike.
However, stylists can easily remove this green discoloration and restore clients’ hair to its natural beauty by using Malibu C Crystal Gel for in-salon services and recommended at-home maintenance.
Malibu C Crystal Gel for In-Salon Services
Malibu C Crystal Gel is a powerful professional service designed to remove mineral buildup, chlorine, copper and other impurities from the hair. It preps the hair for all chemical services and gives a clean canvas to prevent undesirable results. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it effectively:
Step 1: Shampoo the client's hair with Malibu C Un-Do-Goo >pH 9 Shampoo to remove any surface dirt and oils, then rinse the hair.
Step 2: Activate the Malibu C Crystal Gel by thoroughly mixing with 2 oz. of warm water to form a gel. Apply the mixture evenly throughout the hair, using maximum pressure to work in the gel and ensure complete saturation.
Step 3: Cover the hair with a plastic cap and allow to process under heat for 5 to 45 minutes.
Step 4: After processing, thoroughly rinse the hair with warm water, then shampoo again with Un-Do-Goo Shampoo.
Step 5: If providing a chemical service, apply Malibu C Miracle Repair following the service. Conditioner is not recommended immediately prior to a chemical service. Instead, apply Miracle Repair immediately after step five to restore protein and softness in the hair.
