As a stylist, encountering clients with green swimmers' hair is common, especially during the summer months. Many people believe that chlorine causes hair to turn green after swimming, however, it’s actually caused by copper. Chlorine in the pool acts as an oxidizer, which turns the copper buildup on hair green, causing frustration for both clients and stylists alike.
Fortunately, stylists can easily remove this green discoloration and restore clients’ hair to its natural beauty with Malibu C Crystal Gel for in-salon services and Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Collection for at-home maintenance.

Malibu C Crystal Gel In-Salon Service
Malibu C Crystal Gel is a powerful professional service designed to remove mineral buildup, chlorine, copper, and other impurities from the hair. It preps the hair for all chemical services, giving you a clean canvas to prevent undesirable results.
- PRO TIP: Recommend a Crystal Gel service to all clients that swim regularly. This will help reduce the effects of pool elements, especially when paired with the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Collection for at-home maintenance in-between salon services.
Here's How To Use Crystal Gel Effectively:
- STEP 1: Shampoo the client's hair with Malibu C Un-Do-Goo >pH 9 Shampoo to remove any surface dirt and oils, then rinse.
- STEP 2: Activate the Malibu C Crystal Gel by thoroughly mixing with 2 oz. of warm water to form a gel. Apply the mixture evenly throughout the hair using maximum pressure to work the gel into the hair, ensuring complete saturation.
- STEP 3: Cover the hair with a plastic cap and allow it to process under heat for 5-45 minutes.
- STEP 4: After processing, rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water, then shampoo again with the Un-Do-Goo Shampoo.
- STEP 5: If providing a chemical service, apply Malibu C Miracle Repair following the service. Conditioner is not recommended immediately prior to a chemical service. Otherwise, apply Miracle Repair immediately after Step 5 to restore protein and softness to the hair.

At-Home Maintenance
To maintain the health and vibrancy of your client's hair between Crystal Gel services, recommend the Malibu C Swimmers Wellness Collection to your clients for at-home use.
SELLING TIP: We like to think of the Crystal Gel service as going to the dentist and the Swimmers Wellness Collection as brushing and flossing at home to maintain the dentist’s results.
The Swimmers Wellness Collection Includes:
- Swimmers Wellness Shampoo: Gently removes chlorine, copper, and other impurities while restoring moisture and shine to the hair.
- Swimmers Wellness Conditioner: Detangles, softens, and hydrates the hair, leaving it feeling silky-smooth and manageable.
