FAQ Section

1. What is Scruples Power Blonde 9+ Lightening Powder and what does it do?
It is a professional-grade, dust-free lightening powder designed to decolorize natural or color-treated hair for both on-scalp and off-scalp application. It is engineered to provide maximum lift—up to 9 levels and beyond—making it a powerful tool for high-lift blondes, highlights, balayage, and full-head lightening services .

2. What makes this lightener different from standard bleach powders?
Unlike standard bleaches, it features three key innovations:

• Maximum Lift: Lighten up to 9 levels and beyond with its powerful, dust-free formula 

• Bond Protection: The Hydra-Protein Bond Protector helps strengthen and maintain existing cortex bonds while achieving maximum lift, reducing structural damage during the lightening process 

• Conditioning Agents: Infused with chamomile and panthenol to soothe the scalp and hair during and after the lightening process—helpful for client comfort and hair integrity 

3. What are the key ingredients and their benefits?

4. Can this product be used on the scalp?
Yes, this lightener is formulated for both on-scalp and off-scalp use, giving stylists flexibility depending on the service type. For on-scalp applications (full bleach), use lower volume developers (e.g., 10 or 20 Vol). For off-scalp techniques like balayage or foils, higher volumes (30 or 40 Vol) can be used .

5. What developer should I use and at what ratio?
Mix Power Blonde 9+ Lightening Powder with Scruples Pure Oxi Creme Developer. The mixing ratio depends on the desired consistency and technique:

• Standard off-scalp mixing: 1 part lightening powder + 2 parts developer (varies by technique) 

• For 9+ levels of lift with maximum Power: Mix with 2½ parts 30-volume creme developer 

• Always mix until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved

6. What hair types is this lightener suitable for?
It is suitable for both natural hair and color-treated hair. It works well when you need high lift — for dark hair, compact cuticles, dramatic blonding, or major color changes .

7. How does the Hydra-Protein Bond Protector work?
The Hydra-Protein Bond Protector helps strengthen and maintain existing cortex bonds while achieving maximum lift. This technology:

• Delivers faster lifting with enhanced conditioning on both natural and color-treated hair 

• Helps protect the hair's internal structure during the chemical process 

• Reduces the amount of structural damage compared to traditional bleaches 

8. What aftercare is recommended following lightening services?
After lightening, follow up with a bond-repair treatment, deep conditioner, or reparative masque to restore moisture and strength. Advise clients to use gentle, nourishing aftercare (sulfate-free shampoo/conditioner, bond-building treatments) and limit heat/chemical stress for a period after bleaching .

9. What are the available sizes and where is it made?
Power Blonde 9+ Lightening Powder is available in multiple professional sizes:

• 10.6 oz (300 g) – standard size 

• 22.93 oz (650 g) – professional salon size 

• 300 g and 650 g sizes also available 

The product is made in the USA  by Scruples Professional Salon Products, Inc.

10. What is the proper processing time?
Processing time varies depending on hair type, desired lift, and developer volume. Always monitor the lightening process regularly and do not exceed recommended processing times. For best results, use in conjunction with Scruples POWER BLONDE Conditioning Gel Fashion Toners after achieving the desired level of lift . The product is designed to deliver faster lifting, allowing for expedited service times compared to traditional bleaches .

Professional Usage Tips

• Dust-Free Formula: Reduces airborne particles, making mixing and application cleaner and more comfortable for both stylist and client 

• Strand Test: Always perform a strand test and scalp sensitivity test before full application, especially on previously colored or processed hair 

• Monitor Development: Because bleach can stress hair structure, monitor the lightening process regularly to avoid over-processing 

• System Approach: For complete color results, follow lightening with POWER BLONDE Conditioning Gel Fashion Toners (Cosmo, Iris, Mist) to create pastel and fashion shades 

• Aftercare Protocol: After the service, apply a bond-repair treatment or deep conditioner to restore moisture and strength, even though the product includes a bond protector 

Safety Note: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear appropriate protective gloves during mixing and application. Always perform a patch test 48 hours before each service. Professional use only.
