Why Your Summer Hair Needs a Malibu Treatment—Especially in Michigan
Summer in Michigan is a mood: sunny lake days, cottage weekends, and finally some real heat. But while you’re soaking up all that July goodness, your hair might be silently suffering.
Between hard water, chlorine, well water, product buildup, and environmental stress, your strands go through a lot—especially here in West Michigan. That’s where Malibu treatments come in, and why they’re one of the best things you can do for your hair this time of year.
🌊 What Is a Malibu Treatment?
A Malibu treatment is a gentle but powerful detoxifying service that removes buildup caused by minerals (like calcium, iron, and copper), chlorine, product residue, and environmental impurities. These treatments help reset your hair back to its natural, healthy state—allowing moisture, color, and shine to absorb better.
It’s not a conditioner or a mask—it’s a deep cleanse that restores balance to your scalp and hair.
💧 Why Malibu Treatments Matter (Especially in July)
In Michigan, the summer hair struggle is real:
Hard Water & Well Water: Many local homes use well water, which contains high levels of minerals that coat the hair shaft and cause it to feel dry, heavy, and resistant to color.
Chlorine Exposure: Pool season is in full swing, and chlorine strips the hair of its natural oils, leaving it brittle and brassy (especially blondes!).
Humidity + Sweat: Extra oil, salt, and product use = buildup. Buildup = dull, lifeless hair that won’t hold a style or soak in moisture.
Color Prep or Color Correction: If you’re investing in color services, a Malibu treatment is a must—removing impurities ensures your new shade takes evenly and lasts longer.
We especially recommend Malibu treatments:
Before any color service
After vacation or pool-heavy weekends
Monthly during summer
For anyone dealing with brassiness, dullness, or a rough hair texture
✨ Real Results, Real Difference
You’ll notice the change immediately:
Your hair will feel softer, lighter, brighter, and easier to manage. Color becomes more vibrant, treatments absorb better, and your scalp feels refreshed and clean—not tight or itchy.
