Malibu Hair Demineralizer
Frolicking in the ocean can wreak ravage your hair, 'Ocean salts and minerals attach to the hair like a magnet causing it to feel dry,' says Deb Porter, Co-founder of Malibu Wellness, Inc. 'Ocean salts also cause hair to clump together and move in sections rather as individual strands causing hair to look less shiny. Further, ocean salts and minerals can discolor hair, especially blondes, causing hair to appear drab and lose its vibrancy,' adds Porter.
Malibu based Malibu Wellness’ patented product is designed to alleviate these hair ills, 'hair will instantly feel more manageable, flow beautifully and have immediate comb-ability. The ruddy, muddy, chalky, dull look will instantly be removed and replaced with sparkle and vibrancy,' Porter assures.

Blonde Aid
s a great guide for the types of water your hair will be soaked in depending on what part of Los Angeles you live.
For those of us fair haired folks frolicking in the sun can damage our tresses whether or not we’re natural blondes. According to the owners of Montana Avenue’s luxelab Salon, David Abrams and Jason Lara, both chemically treated and natural blonde hair is more victimized by the elements and tends to have less volume and be more porous than its darker counterparts.
To insure that their blonde clients continue to have fun they created Blonde-Aid, a sulfur free masque which uses are advised to apply twice weekly to insure luscious locks. Regular use of Blonde-Aid is will preserve hair’s color, 'unlike other products on the market, Blonde-Aid is not designed to change hair color --- that's the colorist's job," say Abrams and Lara. Blonde-Aid insures that it feels as good as it looks thanks to the product’s restorative moisture infused agents and a matrix of strength-building compounds. It’s perfect for restoring your battered, end-of-summer tresses to their strong, supple, pre-summer state without weighing them down -- just in time for fall fashion," said the dynamic hair duo.
Try these locally created products and enjoy the last carefree days of summer knowing that your hair is having a good time too.

Samatha Jones San Jose California | 12:53pm on Thursday, August 20th, 2009  | I can vouch for the Malibu products. I used to have very brassy blonde hair and Wellness Actives took it right out. Highly recommend. |
