FAQ Section

1. What is Scruples Menz 5 Minute Haircolor Activator and what does it do?
It is the dedicated developer for the Scruples MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor system. It "activates" the color molecules in the MENZ gel-color, allowing the formula to process quickly, enabling gray blending or coverage in as little as 5-10 minutes at the shampoo bowl. This fully stabilized developer is recommended for use only with Scruples MENZ Natural Hair Color Gel.

2. How do I mix the Menz Activator with the color gel?
Mix the MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor with equal parts of MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor Activator in either a bowl or a bottle using a 1:1 mixing ratio. This creates a rich, gelatinous mixture that stays moist and workable for precise application with a bottle or brush.

3. What is the processing time when using this activator?
Once mixed and applied, process for 5 minutes for gray blending (partial or lighter coverage) or up to 10 minutes for full, natural gray coverage. Do not exceed 10 minutes. MENZ is a progressive color—the longer it processes, the darker the resulting color.

4. Can I use this activator for beard and mustache coloring?
Yes. The system supports beard and mustache coloring. Use the same 1:1 mixing ratio and processing guidelines (5-10 minutes). For easier application to coarse hair, add 1/8 to 1/4 oz of Scruples Color Whip Haircolor Thickener to the mixture.

5. Can I adjust the consistency of the mixture?
Yes. If a thicker consistency is desired (e.g., for coarse hair or beard application), add 1/8 to 1/4 oz of Scruples Color Whip Haircolor Thickener to the mixture.

6. Can I use this activator with other Scruples color lines?
No. This activator is specifically formulated for use only with Scruples MENZ Natural Hair Color Gel. Using it with other color products may compromise results.

7. How is the Menz system different from traditional hair color?
Unlike traditional dyes that require 20-45 minutes to process, the MENZ system processes in just 5-10 minutes at the shampoo bowl, making the service quick, convenient, and discreet. It is a non-ammoniated, deposit-only permanent hair color system.

8. What size is this activator available in?
The Scruples Menz 5 Minute Haircolor Activator is available in a professional Liter (33.8 oz) size. It is also included in the 17-piece MENZ Intro Unit Kit.

9. Where is this product manufactured and is it cruelty-free?
Scruples is a professional brand manufactured in the USA. The brand is dedicated to professional salon use and is cruelty-free.

10. What aftercare products should I use after the Menz color service?
After the color service, shampoo with Scruples Menz Thickening Shampoo or Renewal Color Retention Shampoo. Then apply Scruples Menz 1 Minute Stabilizer to soothe the scalp, improve color retention, and condition. Remove any color stains from the skin with Scruples Color Away Haircolor Stain Remover.

Professional Usage Notes

• Application: A quick and thorough application is essential as the haircolor molecule develops rapidly once mixed

• Virgin Application: Apply mixture from scalp to ends, process 5-10 minutes per desired gray coverage

• Retouch Application: Apply to new growth; if ends need refreshing, distribute through length during final 1-3 minutes of processing

• For Long Hair: Best used on clients with short to medium length hair; with subsequent applications, ends may become dark on very long hair

• Stabilizer Step: Always follow with Menz 1 Minute Stabilizer to eliminate any trace of chemicals and provide incredible shine

Safety Note: Perform a hypersensitivity patch test 48 hours before each color service. Wear appropriate protective gloves during application. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use for dyeing eyelashes or eyebrows; to do so may cause blindness. Professional use only.
