Malibu C Color Prepare Wellness Hair Remedy

Cleaner hair for more even colour results.

Professional pre-colour treatment in the form of a crystalline powder that prepares the hair immediately before colouring. It helps remove mineral and product build-up that may prevent pigment from penetrating the hair fibre evenly.

Benefits

• Prepares the hair fibre for more even colour absorption and coverage
• Helps remove mineral deposits and other build-up that may negatively affect the colour result
• Supports a more intense and longer-lasting colour result
• Helps reduce unwanted dullness, warm tones and colour irregularities caused by build-up in the hair
• May contribute to a more effective colour service by removing barriers between the hair and pigment
• Uses a freshly activated complex with vitamin C
• Suitable for all hair types, including colour-treated, lightened and chemically treated hair
• Can be used before permanent colour, demi-permanent colour and toner
• Has a vegan, plant-based formula
• Free from preservatives, parabens, gluten, fragrance and added sodium chloride
• Individual doses are hermetically sealed so the crystalline complex is activated only immediately before use

Key Ingredients and Technology

• Vitamin C – Ascorbic Acid - an antioxidant and chelating ingredient that helps release mineral and oxidative build-up from the hair fibre and create a cleaner base for the following colour service.
• Sodium Gluconate and Disodium EDTA - chelating agents that bind minerals deposited in the hair and help remove them during washing. This supports a more even effect of the colour applied afterwards.
• Panthenol - provitamin B5 adds a hydrating and conditioning effect to the formula and helps keep the hair fibres manageable.

How to use

1. Wash the hair with shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
2. Pour the Color Prepare crystals into a wet palm.
3. Add a small amount of water and rub the palms together until the crystals are fully dissolved.
4. Work the mixture evenly into wet hair.
5. Leave on for 5 minutes.
6. Shampoo the hair again and rinse thoroughly.
7. Do not use conditioner before the following colour service.
8. Perform the colour service within 24 hours at the latest.

For white or non-pigmented hair, the manufacturer recommends shampooing once more after the treatment to remove any residue from the crystalline complex.

Frequently asked Questions FAQ

• Is it suitable to use the treatment before every colour service? Yes, Malibu C recommends it as part of regular preparation before a colour service, especially if the hair is exposed to hard water or styling build-up.
• Does Color Prepare remove old cosmetic colour? It is not designed as a classic pigment remover. It primarily removes mineral and product build-up; however, if some colour is attached to these deposits, it may be partially released along with them.
• Why should conditioner not be used after the treatment? A conditioning layer could reduce direct contact between the following colour and the hair fibre, so Malibu C recommends skipping conditioner before the colour service.
