Honey Blonde - Scruples

4
PRINCIPLES
Formulations are intended for off-the-scalp
highlighting only
Hair should be less than 75% gray for optimal results
When highlighting over tinted hair or hair with
build-up from hard water, add 1 extra scoop of
Bl a z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate to the
formula in order to achieve the proper level of lift; if
the hair has both issues only 1 scoop is necessary
Medium lift formulas will achieve 1 – 4 levels of
lift, providing a more subtle, blended highlight
Maximum lift formulas will achieve 5 – 7 levels of
lift creating a highlight more brilliant in tone
Formulas with 0 scoops will give 1 – 1½ levels of
lift, concentrating on color deposit
TEST STRAND PROCEDURE
A test strand is recommended when applying Bla z i n g highlights to hair that has
been chemically relaxed or straightened or when non-professional haircolor
has been used. The following is a mini batch formula that provides enough
product for 2 – 3 test strands.
Mixing – Measure Bla z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate, Bl a z i n g Color Gel and
Bla z i n g Oil Lightener. Pour into mixing bowl and dissolve. Add developer.
Application – Apply to test strand and time for 5 – 20 minutes, testing
frequently for desired results. If breakage occurs, do not procede with
highlighting application.
NOTE: When highlighting over tinted hair or hair with build-up from hard water,
add ¼ cap-ful Bla z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate to the formula in order to
achieve the proper level of lift.
REMOvINg OXIDIzED hAIRCOLOR
Scruples Co l o r Delete Haircolor Remover is recommended for removing oxidized
haircolor. When haircolor processes too dark and the desired color is ½ – 4 levels
lighter than the color achieved, it is necessary to remove the oxidized haircolor.
If Co l o r De l e t e Haircolor Remover is not available, oxidized haircolor can
also be removed with Bla z i n g Highlighting & Color System by following the
directions below.
Mixing – Mix 2 scoops of Bla z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate with 2 oz
Bla z i n g Oil Lightener until concentrate is blended and dissolved. Add 2 oz Pu r e
oxi 5, 10 or 20 Volume Clear Developer and mix thoroughly to produce a smooth,
gel-like consistency.
Higher volumes of Pu re ox i Clear Developer increase the speed of lifting action and
the level of lift attained.
Each scoop of Bl a z i n g X-tra Light Booster
Concentrate is equivalent to 1½ – 2 levels of lift
(1½ levels of lift when mixed with Pu re oxi 10
Volume Developer and 2 levels of lift when mixed
with Pu re ox i 20 Volume Developer)
When more lift is desired, increase amount of
Bl a z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate
When less lift is desired, decrease amount of
Bl a z i n g X-tra Light Booster Concentrate
For maximum tonal deposit, double the dye
load by increasing the Bla z i n g Highlighting
Color Gel from ½ oz to 1 oz; do not increase
other components
If a thicker consistency is desired, add ¼ oz –
½ oz Scruples Co l o r WH i P Haircolor Thickener
The highlighting mixture can be doubled or
reduced by half to accommodate the length of
the client’s hair; double or half all components in
highlighting formula to produce exact results
The colorist may combine Scruples haircolor
systems with Blazing Highlights to achieve
multidimensional effects in the hair
