Revive your hair!
This was my first time doing a hard water treatment and I'm extremely pleased! I have not dyed my hair before and had been noticing in recent months a stringiness in my waves. They weren't clumping well and my hair felt heavy even after getting a haircut (which is the before picture I used). When I was a child I had blonde hair that darkened as I grew older. I was shocked to see such blonde highlights revealed in my hair after using the Malibu C Hard Water treatment. I also found that my wave pattern went from a type 2A/2B to a 2C/3A because it became lighter after the hard water buildup was removed. Now, my hair is bouncy, swishy, and clumps beautifully! I knew I was dealing with at least 12 years of hard water buildup. So, I followed most of the directions as instructed except I left the treatment on for 20 minutes with a plastic shower cap and warm towel rather than 5 minutes. After washing with shampoo a second time followed by conditioner I used a deep conditioning mask for 15 minutes to ensure I didn't leave my hair dry. I then styled it using homemade flaxseed gel and diffusing. The before and after side by side picture shows my hair styled both times. The before was styled by my hairstylist after the haircut and the after was what I had styled with flaxseed gel (I hadn't scrunched it in that picture). The second after pictures is after my hair had completely dried and I scrunched out their cast. I'm still new to taking proper care of my wavy/curly hair. This was my first time ever having a hard water treatment and using a deep conditioning masque. Since, treatment my mom has commented multiple times about how soft my hair looks and now that it can effectively receive moisture it feels soft too! UPDATE: It has been just a little more than a week since the first treatment and I did a second treatment. Now, I feel like the hard water buildup is completely gone. I have added a picture of closeup comparison of my hair in direct sunlight before treatment and after the second treatment. Read more
