Key ingredients

• Antioxidant Vitamin Complex – Malibu C vitamin complex that helps release unwanted artificial pigment without lightening the hair’s natural colour.
• Ascorbic Acid / Vitamin C – a key active ingredient which, according to Malibu C, helps fragment larger artificial colour molecules into smaller parts so they can be more easily removed from the hair.
• Bentonite + chelating agents – part of the formula that helps support a cleaner hair fibre and remove build-up before the next colour service.

How to Use

1. Fill an applicator bottle with 120 ml of lukewarm water at room temperature.
2. Slowly add the CPR crystals and shake until a gel forms.
3. Shampoo the hair with Malibu C Un-Do-Goo, rinse and towel-dry.
4. Thoroughly work the gel into the hair using pressure from the palms and fingers to ensure even saturation.
5. Cover the hair with a professional processing cap and process with heat for 45 minutes.
6. After processing, shampoo the hair 3 times and rinse thoroughly using Malibu C Un-Do-Goo.
7. The process may be repeated if necessary; for maximum colour removal, use in combination with Malibu C Color Disruptor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is Malibu C CPR Color Pigment Remover used for? Malibu C CPR Color Pigment Remover is used for professional removal of unwanted artificial pigment from the hair. It is suitable for color corrections, preparing the hair before a new color service, or removing build-up that may affect the final shade.
• Does it remove permanent and semi-permanent colors? Yes. The product is designed to help release pigment from both oxidative and non-oxidative hair colors, including permanent, demi-permanent, and semi-permanent shades.
• How many levels can it remove? Malibu C states that it can remove up to 3 levels of artificial pigment. The result may vary depending on the type of color used, pigment build-up, hair porosity, and the hair’s previous chemical history.
• Is it the same as bleach? No. Malibu C CPR is not a bleach system and, according to the manufacturer, does not lighten the hair’s natural pigment. It targets unwanted artificial pigment and helps maintain the integrity of the hair fiber.
• Will it damage the hair? The product is formulated to remove artificial pigment without compromising the hair’s natural integrity. However, with chemically processed or highly porous hair, it is always important to work professionally, monitor the condition of the hair, and follow the recommended instructions for use.
• Is heat required? For best results, the manufacturer recommends covering the hair with a professional processing cap and applying heat. The official instructions state a processing time of 45 minutes, after which the hair must be thoroughly shampooed three times with Malibu C Un-Do-Goo Shampoo.
• *Can Malibu C CPR be used on its own? Yes, it can be used on its own, but for maximum color removal, the manufacturer recommends combining it with Malibu C Color Disruptor. Color Disruptor helps release color molecules within the hair fiber, allowing the pigment to be removed more easily with CPR afterwards.
• Is the product suitable for grey or white hair? The manufacturer does not recommend use on white or non-pigmented hair unless a color service follows immediately afterwards. On this type of hair, an unwanted warm or pinkish tone may appear.

• Is it suitable for a sensitive scalp? Malibu C states that the product is designed to be gentle, but with longer processing times, irritation may occur on sensitive scalps. It is recommended to follow the instructions precisely and wear gloves during application.
• Who is the product intended for? The product is intended exclusively for professional salon use. It is ideal for hairdressers working with unwanted color correction, layered pigment, uneven tones, or hair preparation before further coloring.
