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%.

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.

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.

Use before my color appointments as we have well water and it's killing my highlights. I guess we have a lot of minerals in the water. I really wish I could remember to use this a bit more often. I do see a difference after I use it. My highlights look refreshed. I have tried the shampoo & conditioner by the same brand and I do not love those. The shampoo is okay but I do not like the conditioner. I typically use with other shampoo and conditioner.

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.

works

I recently with in the get full highlights honey blonde specifically (what I’ve been getting the last 4 years) but this time I went it and my hairstylist toned my hair too long and/or completely changed the formula for my toner. But I came out SOOO brunette with a mix of silver and violet pieces throughout my hair. I went home ordered this and bought the Malibu clarifying shampoo as well bc I needed this toner out ASAP! I washed my hair with clarifying shampoo( blue bottle my Malibu), then rinsed shampoo. Add this purple packet in the palm of my hand w a little bit of water, enough to make a paste. Then evenly applied it from root to ends & let it sit for 5 mins. Rinsed all of it out. I then shampooed again with same clarifying shampoo. Rinsed completely. Then deep conditioned to add moisture back to my hair. My hair looks SOOOO much better after this process. not dark and no more purple violet/grey pieces!

Please don’t buy this product. I, like the other reviewers ended up here due to a recommendation from a YouTuber. I didn’t even bother to read all the reviews. I got it yesterday and today I applied it after my run. I followed the directions and I noticed while I was applying it, immediately my hair started falling. Yet, I still didn’t panic. Once i applied the shampoo after the treatment, I realized how stopped my hair was because of the incredible amount of suds. I continued to condition. I grabbed one of the hairs that fell and I stretch it out of curiosity, that hair stretch to the next county! I then realized how damaged my hair was just from using this product. My hair was bleached to probably a level 10 I think he lightest areas and 8/9 on others. But my hair was not this damaged, yes it was dried but at no point t did it stretch or felt like noodles. I bought this thinking that it would improve my hair, not finish killing it. It may work for people with extremely healthy hair, but not for people that are trying to recover their hair or is even slightly damaged. Make no mistake, this is some sort of straight up bleach. Which is why your hair will lighten but it won’t take the yellow away. It will just strip it from everything good in your hair and further damage. My fingers got so wrinkled but the time I got done applying it it to my hair, which is exactly what bleach does when one doesn’t wear gloves. That is how strong this non sense is. Do a favor to your hair and DONT BUY IT. In fact, after I showered I kind of feel like my scalp burns a little bit and I want to rinse my hair again but I’m terrified of damaging it dither because this thing did a number o it.

Me hubiera gustado enterarme de este producto al inicio de la pandemia, la verdad ajusta el tono de mi cabello y lo deja suave y manejable. Es muy útil cuando no quieres que se vean tus raíces.

This worked wonders when my hair extensions changed colour after a holiday. Now it’s back to how it was before 🙌🏽

Amazing products i love it.

Shows 3 pack and i only got one

Overpriced. Way too small of a package of product for the price.
