FAQ Section
1. What is Urban Shock Brights and what type of hair color is it?
Urban Shock Brights is a direct-dye, gel-based creative hair color line — meaning it deposits vibrant pigments without requiring a developer. Because it’s a “direct dye,” it’s ideal for creative, fashion, and vivid color work (bright shades, pastel blends, or dramatic tone changes) rather than standard permanent color.
2. What harmful ingredients are NOT in this product?
Urban Shock Brights is 100% PPD, gluten, ammonia, paba, and peroxide-free. This makes it an excellent choice for clients with sensitivities or those seeking a gentler alternative to traditional permanent dyes.
3. What are the key ingredients and protective benefits?
Urban Shock Brights is fortified with a blend of ECOCERT® certified shea butter and superfruits, which helps nourish and rejuvenate hair while coloring. The formula also features Scruples’ Protective Barrier Complex (PBX®), which surrounds and shields the direct dye molecule during application for seamless color saturation.
4. How long does the color last?
These highly concentrated colors last up to 25 shampoos. However, results depend on the shade used, hair porosity, application technique, and aftercare routine (sulfate-free products, cold water washing, less frequent washing).
5. How do I apply Urban Shock Brights?
Because it’s a direct-dye gel, no developer or peroxide is required. Apply the gel color onto clean, pre-lightened or light-toned hair (direct dyes show up best on lighter bases). Saturate strands evenly, leave on for the recommended processing time (as specified on packaging instructions), then rinse.
6. Can I mix different shades together?
Yes, the shades are fully intermixable. The line includes a Clear Mixer that stylists can use to dilute or soften intensity. This allows for unlimited palette potential, enabling stylists to create custom or pastelized versions by blending shades or using the clear base.
7. What shades are available in the Urban Shock Brights line?
The Urban Shock Brights palette includes the following shades:
-
Aqua-Mint – Vibrant blue-green
-
Berry-Magenta – Deep pink-purple
-
Ruby-Rose – Rich red-pink
-
Amethyst-Lilac – Soft purple
-
Cobalt-Sky – Bright electric blue
-
Charcoal-Silver – Smoky grey-silver
-
Lemon-Meringue – Bright yellow
-
Clear Mixer – For dilution and pastel effects
8. What is the size of the product?
Urban Shock Brights comes in a professional 3 oz (90 ml) tube.
9. Is this product suitable for pre-lightened or damaged hair?
Yes. The formula is fortified with conditioning ingredients (shea butter, superfruits) and PBX® protective complex, which helps defend against damage on pre-lightened hair. This makes it an excellent choice for creative color services on previously lightened or bleached hair.
10. What aftercare should I recommend to clients?
To maximize color longevity and vibrancy, recommend:
-
Color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and gentle conditioners
-
Less frequent washing
-
Cold or lukewarm water (not hot)
-
Minimal heat styling
-
Results last up to 25 shampoos under ideal conditions with proper aftercare
