Hard Water, Soft Hair: Our New Mineral-Removing Treatment
Say Goodbye to Mineral-Murky Hair: Introducing Our Hard-Water Wellness Treatment
If you live in Ritchot, Taché—or really anywhere in southeastern Manitoba—you’re rinsing your hair in very hard water every single day. Recent municipal tests in neighbouring Steinbach show dissolved-mineral levels hovering between 233 and 284 mg/L of calcium carbonate (that’s 13–17 grains per gallon) —well above the USGS “very hard” threshold of >180 mg/L. Aquatell’s provincial database lists nearby communities such as Grunthal, Kleefeld and Morris in the 22–25 gpg range, reinforcing just how mineral-rich our groundwater is.
Why hard water is hard on hair
Those extra doses of calcium, magnesium, iron and copper don’t just leave spots on your faucet—they cling to the cuticle of each strand, blocking moisture, dulling colour and making hair feel dry, frizzy or brittle. Dermatologists note that mineral buildup can even make porous or colour-treated hair snap more easily. Laboratory research supports this: a 2018 study found a “significant decrease in hair strength” after just 30 days of hard-water washing, making fibers more prone to breakage.
The Malibu C solution we trust
To neutralize those minerals, we’re introducing the Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Remedy as an add-on or stand-alone service. The single-use, vitamin-C-powered sachet:
Naturally chelates (binds and lifts) calcium, magnesium, iron and copper deposits.
Erases brassiness & discolouration so blondes stay bright and brunettes don’t go muddy.
Infuses lightweight moisture for instant softness and shine—all in just five minutes at the bowl.
Is 100 % vegan, cruelty-free, and free of sulfates, parabens & added salt.
Clients around the world rave about the difference. One recent review called it a “game-changer… hair was noticeably brighter, softer, and lighter-feeling—like it shed a layer of buildup” after a single use.
What to expect in the Studio
Quick consult & test strand (if colour-treated).
Clarifying shampoo to open the cuticle.
Malibu C treatment massaged in for 3–5 minutes.
Moisture mask & blow-out to lock in the glow.
Most guests schedule the Remedy every 4–6 weeks or add it to major colour appointments to keep hues true and protect investments. If you’re on a private well, a bi-weekly plan may be your hair’s new best friend.
