Condition: Well Water

Domestic well water is ground water. The source of ground water is from rain passing through aquifers, which are layers of minerals. The acidity (pH below 7) of the rain increases the dissolving effect of minerals. These dissolved solids are found in the water when pumped above the ground and used to bathe.

The majority of ground (well) water is hard. The level of calcium that is found naturally from the ground determines the hardness of water. While calcium is the element that determines hardness of water, there are many other elements in well water that effect hair, scalp and skin.

While well water is fine for drinking, it can cause many problems for your hair, scalp and skin including:

• Hair feels dry or damaged
• Hair is resistant to color/highlighting, perming or relaxing/straightening
• Hair is discolored by iron build-up (orange or rust color)
• Hair is discolored by copper build-up (blondes tint green, dark hair darkens)
• Hair lacks body and shine
• Hair is thinning or breaking
• Color fades too quickly
• Highlights turn "ruddy" or discolored
• Perms fall out
• Scalp is flaking, itching or inflamed
• Scalp is dry
• Symptoms of Dandruff/Eczema on scalp
• Skin feels dry
• Skin flakes
• Symptoms of eczema on skin

What are the well water minerals that effect hair?

• Calcium
• Iron
• Copper
• Magnesium
• Silica
• Lead

How do minerals found in well water effect hair?

How calcium effects hair:

• Calcium causes hair to feel dry and lack shine and volume.
• Calcium can prevent the proper processing of color, highlights, perms or relaxer/straighteners.
• Calcium can cause a perm to appear relaxed.
• Calcium builds up on the scalp causing flaking of the scalp, giving the appearance of dandruff.
• Calcium can choke the hair at the mouth of the follicle causing the hair to break off, then coating the scalp, blocking further new hair growth.

How iron effects hair:

• Iron leaves hair feeling dry, brittle and weighted down.
• Iron causes lack of shine.
• Iron can cause dark hair to tint darker and blonde hair to turn orange. Iron can inhibit the proper processing of perms, color, highlights, and relaxers/straighteners.

How copper effects hair:

• Copper discolors hair causing blonde hair to turn green and dark hair to tint darker.
• Copper can weigh hair down and cause dryness.
• Copper can inhibit the proper processing of perms, color, highlights, and relaxers/straighteners.

How magnesium effects hair:

• Magnesium causes hair to feel dry.
• Magnesium causes hair to lack shine.
• Magnesium causes hair to appear weighted down therefore lacking volume.
• Magnesium can inhibit the proper processing of perms, color, highlights, and relaxers/straighteners.

How silica effects hair:

• Silica causes many of the same effects on the hair as calcium.
• Silica causes hair to feel dry.
• Silica causes hair to lack volume.
• Silica can cause dandruff-like symptoms of flaking.
• Build-up of silica can choke the hair follicle causing hair to fall out.

How lead effects hair:

• Lead can cause the hair to feel dry.
• Lead can prevent the proper processing of perms, color, highlights, and relaxers/straighteners.

Wellness Testimonials:

I have a client that has well water - VERY high iron deposit on her hair. For 2 years we searched on what to use to keep her highlights blonde. (She would leave my salon blonde, but by the time she came back for retouch her blonde was bright ORANGE)! We have had VERY good success with the Malibu Makeover. She also likes to use the Blondes Weekly Brightener and and Hard Water Weekly Demineralizer at home. Now when she comes in for her retouch she is still BLONDE!!! Thank you Malibu Wellness!

My hair is processed (blonde with highlights) and the minerals in our water turn my hair orange. Once I started using your Making Water Well kit the orange discoloration disappeared. It's been fabulous! Thank you Malibu Wellness! I really, really love your products!

I recently moved into a home with a private well. I had a problem that caused my water to bypass the softener and as a result my very bleached hair was turning orange as a result of the well water depositing minerals onto my porous hair. It was bright orange! I bought the Malibu Crystal Gels and processed under heat for 30 minutes. My hair has never looked better! I'm using the Malibu Well Water Action Shampoo and Conditioner and it's SO fantastic! I tell all my clients about Malibu products!

Out in the country where most people have their own wells, there is a real issue with hard water. Malibu is the only product line that I have found that makes a difference to my hair and I'd be lost without it.

I found the Malibu products online and have used them for about 2 1/2 weeks. I cannot express how ecstatic I am! My hair is getting back to where it was. It holds a curl, it's shiny and so soft. Best of all, no more dandruff! It was the calcium deposits all along. I have since recommended Malibu products to everyone I know with a well.

I am a natural blonde who had tried everything under the sun over the years to remove the rust from my hair...My hair has not looked and felt this good in years! No sign of the rust creeping back in...I could be a poster person for Malibu Wellness and the Making Water Well® system, it's awesome! Anyone who is sitting on the fence, just try it, you won't be disappointed!

I also love the Malibu Wellness Actives made just for blondes. One client with well water still looked good when she came back for a touch-up, instead of her usual "brassiness" by that time.

One of my clients has well water and she likes to be blonde. Before Malibu Wellness, she would ALWAYS come back brassy for a touch-up. But now, she is still blonde when she comes in for a retouch! Thank you!

I use the Malibu Wellness Actives Hard Water Weekly Demineralizer and the Blondes Weekly Brightener. We have well water and although it is treated with a water softener, my hair still turns brassy and a little orange. The Malibu Wellness Actives keep my hair looking awesome between salon highlighting. The both give my hair body and shine. You cannot go wrong purchasing these Malibu products. They are well worth the money.
