Malibu Blondes Wellness Hair Remedy

I wish I had taken a before and after photo - I recently went to the salon and chose to get a different toner put in my blonde hair which did not take to it well. It was too ashy for me and I wanted a quick fix without setting up another appointment and spending more money. This stuff worked for me - one little packet , to my surprise, did the job. My hair is highlighted and 80% is a level 9.5/10 blonde. I used one packet on medium length semi-thick semi-coarse hair and it stripped out all of that ugly toner and set me back to having my bright pale blonde hair. No more granny grey looking, borderline blue hair! I have a lot of gold undertones in my virgin hair so the level toner we used just didn't do well with the amount of underlying gold in the natural tresses that still remain amongst my color treated hair. My hairdresser is great, it just happened to be one of those freak things that just didn't work/react well. I did not think one little packet was going to treat my entire head, especially when I realized this stuff is powder in the packet - follow the instructions and you should render results. I dumped the powder into my palm after shampooing and used just enough water to make it into a shampoo-like consistency and began to distribute it in my hair, concentrating on the worse areas first, and WOW this stuff lathers up like crazy. Almost like a science experiment level fizzy lather. So, it's fair to say the product will definitely distribute itself thoroughly through short to mid length hair. I let it sit while I carried on with my shower routine (it says no longer than 5 minutes, I let it set for about 2-3 minutes) and BAM I was back to my bright, normal toned/pre-toned blonde. It does say to shampoo again once rinsing the treatment out, and then conditioning. It did strip my hair making it feel very coarse during my shower, so I would recommend depending on your hair type doing an extra conditioning or deep conditioner or mask. I decided to skip that and did just my normal spray-in leave-in treatments pre-styling and my hair came out normal, although I did use a little extra leave-in conditioner to get the tangles out. And it DOES definitely tangle your hair so keep that in mind and maybe a wet brush and good conditioner on hand, especially if your hair is dense and coarse already. One more thing to keep in mind for those who depend on toners more so than I do - depending on the effectiveness of the treatment you may have to re-tone your hair, and maybe that goes without saying, but if you're just looking to "brighten" your blonde, be aware that this may strip out any toners you have. Luckily, that was the intention for my situation and it delivered 100%.

I’m a natural blonde and I took a chance and professionally dyed my hair darker which I regretted after a week. Not wanting to admit this to my hair stylist because she warned me lol I decided to try out these packets. Results are from using a packet every other wash and using K18 in between to preserve my hair health. The color that was used on my hair was semi-permanent and I would say these packets definitely worked! The color hasn’t completely disappeared but I wasn’t expecting a miracle. I have noticed more dryness in my hair when using these but nothing too worrying and I have not noticed any breakage. I will probably do another round of 3 packets in a month just to try and get rid of more of the color.

This stuff delivers as promised! For context I normally have my dark brown roots bleached to a pale blonde every 8 weeks and mistakenly tried a 09N toner (cafe au lait to be exact) to try something different. The toner left a drab brownish gray look to my blonde and it would not budge. I washed my hair 10 different times with lemon juice, dawn, head & shoulders, and clarifying shampoo with moisturizing masks in between . None of it worked. So I ordered a packet of this stuff on a whim, followed the instructions and my hair looks amazing! It stripped the yucky drab brownish color and left me with a beautiful shade of blonde. Keep in mind I used a Redken shampoo before and after the packet and followed up with a very thick layer of the Redken conditioner leaving it in for 5 minutes. Regarding the powder in the packet, I poured it into one hand and put a little water on top of it, then lathered and massaged all over my head. I did that for about a minute and then let it sit in my hair for 4 more minutes. I always use UNITE 7 seconds detangling spray before I brush. After I brushed my hair out, I use a small pump of Kerastase RÉSISTANCE THÉRAPISTE HAIR SERUM and spread through midway down on my hair. I use a giant square paddle Wet brush and a T3 dryer on the lowest heat and fan setting. I found the Chi lava travel flat iron works best on my hair as my daily straightener since a smaller iron allows me to straighten much easier from the highest point of my root - and at no higher heat than 360. I always section my hair off and straighten very small sections at a time so I only need a few passes each time. Following these steps with the packet left me with a great outcome! The before picture I’m showing actually looked much darker in person.

Thus will definitely brighten your hair! But it made a huge batch of my hair come out, and my scalp felt like it was submitted to a bleach treatment.. that tightened feel. I timed it, 3.5 minutes. It seemed like I had a good bit of shed for about a week. So, be aware of your time, and follow the directions. Look online for videos., it works.. just be careful.

It’s a great toner. I use it every few months.

It definitely brightens up the blond, have filtration system in my house but minerals still darken my blond after a few weeks of having my hair foiled. It’s very drying, so need to add a deep conditioner/ mask at the same time

After seeing my favorite blonde YouTuber rave about this product I immediately ordered a 3 pack and anxiously awaited its arrival! It showed up today and I immediately started intensive research on the best way to use/apply. After reading about all the horror stories on Amazon I was terrified and wished I had read them before I clicked buy. I wanted it to improve the quality of my hair after all the abuse I’ve put it through, not hasten its death. Under my toner a good portion of my hair is near white due to over bleaching. After taking all the information I had gathered and using common sense I came up with my game plan. I shampooed my hair, brushed it out, mixed the Malibu blonde crystals in a bowl (not my palm) with 1 ounce of water as stated in the directions. There’s no way 1 ounce of water would’ve fit in my hand and since I regularly color my hair I had a bowl and measuring scoop on hand. The consistency I ended up with was that of a 20vol developer with a cloudy clear color. I separated my hair into 2 side sections and clipped. Worked the product through the bottom on one side, gently, combing through with my fingers and gently rubbing. Kinda exactly the way the product was shown to be used in the video that inspired this purchase. Then switched to the other side and worked my way up alternating sides for an even product distribution and hair treatment. 5 minutes later I rinsed, shampooed and did a semi deep conditioning treatment for a couple minutes. I was able to brush my hair easily after a normal towel dry. Easier than usual I would say actually. I saw a lot of people complaining about the smell and I didn’t really notice one until I was rinsing, then again a bit of a metallic smell until it had air dried. It definitely is not nearly as harsh of a smell as any hair coloring/lightening products I’ve ever experienced. My hair has been through it. Over the past few months I’ve been lightening my level 1 hair at home with 30vol, processing for 35/40 min about twice per month, once twice in a weekend. It’s taken quite a few treatments and I’m almost where I’d like it. Some of it is pretty damaged and brittle. I’ve had a few strands stretch and snap when wet. I bought this product to gently strip out some excess ash toner so that I have a better base to work with since I will be shifting tone to more of a natural blonde color once finished. I wish it had lifted a bit more but I have no doubts it did exactly what it was supposed to and lifted buildup from my rusty water, old layers of demi dye and blue/purple shampoo.

Well, i can’t seem to upload the photo of my before, so maybe i’ll leave the after. But that doesn’t help anyone else much! I was fearful of using this because i read some iffy reviews here, but it made my hair so soft and stripped a ton of iron and build up minerals from my softened well-water. I can’t believe how healthy it feels today. It may not look like much to you, but it gave me so much joy to see how healthy it looked and felt. I used it last night, only on my ends mostly, got in the shower, made it into a thick paste in my hands and just kept scrubbing on my ends and thru the mid shaft and around my face. Let it sit for the 5 minutes the packet says, rinsed, and shampooed and conditioned. Beautiful and so soft this morning! I may do it again on my whole head. I was just scared. It gave me so much shine. people at work were complimenting me like i had just had it done at the salon. Now i did have some “brown beige” Guy Tang level 9 on ends and level 7 on my new growth, in an ombré, that i do myself every three or four months. It is quite a beige-y tone with a kind of blush color at the roots, so it does wind up looking kinda brassy after a month or two, but this Malibu treatment brightened my ends and breathed life back into my hair. and i mean DULL.. I hated wearing it down. It felt so dry and gummy. Try it! Check the packages before using them and make sure nothing is broken on the seam of them. Mine looked brand new. Sorry so long. I also used two packets, with long shoulder length hair. Good luck, my brassy sisters!
