4. Does Hypnotic contain ammonia?

5. How do I mix and apply Hypnotic Lowlights?
Mix 1 part (30 ml) Hypnotic Creme Color with 1½ parts (45 ml) PURE OXI or DEMI Oxidizer . Mix until smooth and creamy. Apply to dry hair using foil, highlighting paper, or all-over application as desired. For fashion shades, always perform a strand test to confirm results as they tend to show stronger than natural neutralizing bases .

Use Scruples PURE OXI Creme Developer or Scruples DEMI Oxidizer at the recommended mixing ratio of 1:1.5 (color to developer) . For professional color results, always use Scruples developers with this system.

7. What are the key nourishing ingredients in this formula?
Hypnotic is enriched with a blend of natural ingredients that nourish and protect hair during the coloring process :

• Acai Berry – antioxidant-rich for vibrant, healthy-looking hair

• Acacia Flower Extract – conditions and soothes

• Aloe Vera – hydrates and calms the scalp

• Avocado Oil – deeply moisturizes and adds shine

8. What is Scruples' Protective Barrier Complex (PBX®)?
PBX® is Scruples' exclusive technology that helps protect the color molecule and the true essence of hair while providing hair with strength, body, and radiant shine . It works to maintain hair integrity during the coloring process, leaving hair healthier and more resilient.

9. Can I use Hypnotic for all-over color or only for lowlights?
Hypnotic is versatile and can be used for both applications :

• As lowlights: Create deep, rich accent pieces and dimension using foil or highlighting techniques

• As all-over color: Use as a full-coverage, low-ammonia permanent hair color
  The single-step formula contains both the filler and color in one tube, saving time in the salon .

10. What is the shelf life and how should I store Hypnotic?
When stored under optimum conditions (4°C to 49°C / 39°F to 120°F), Hypnotic has an expected shelf life of three (3) years . Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Always keep tubes tightly sealed when not in use.
