FAQ – Scruples MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor Activator

Q1. What is MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor Activator and what is its role in the MENZ system?
A1. The MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor Activator is the dedicated developer for the MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor system. It “activates” the color molecules in the MENZ gel-color so that the formula processes quickly — allowing gray blending or coverage in as little as 5–10 minutes at the shampoo bowl.
When mixed with the MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor gel in a 1:1 ratio, it creates a rich, gelatinous mixture that stays moist and workable for precise application with a bottle or brush.

Q2. What are the mixing guidelines and processing time when using the Activator with MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor?
A2. The standard mixing ratio is 1 part MENZ Haircolor : 1 part MENZ Activator (1:1 by volume). 
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. 

Q3. On which hair types or services is MENZ + Activator especially recommended?
A3. MENZ with its Activator is ideal for:

• Clients needing fast, low-commitment gray blending or coverage — perfect for short or medium hair, beards, or mustaches, because the system is designed for speed and convenience.

• Salons offering quick shampoo-bowl color services — great for men or clients who want discreet, efficient color without long processing times. 

• Situations where you need a deposit-only or non-ammonia hair color: MENZ is known for being a non-ammonia, deposit-only permanent haircolor system. 

Q4. Can the Activator be used for partial applications, beards, or mustache coloring?
A4. Yes. The system supports full-head, partial application, or even facial hair (beard/mustache). The same 1:1 mixing ratio and processing guidelines apply, giving flexibility for barbershop-style services or quick touch-ups.

Q5. What are the benefits of using MENZ 5 Minute Haircolor + Activator compared to traditional hair color systems?
A5. Benefits include:

• Speed & convenience — processing in 5–10 minutes vs. 20–45 minutes typical with classic permanent dyes.

• Ease of use / low maintenance — suitable for fast services or clients wanting minimal salon time.

• Deposit-only permanent result — gentle, effective gray blending or coverage without aggressive lift; less commitment than high-lift lighteners. 

• Flexible application — full head, partial, or facial hair; suitable for barbers, busy salons, or clients desiring quick results.

Q6. Are there any special instructions or precautions stylists should be aware of when using the Activator?
A6. Yes. Because MENZ processes quickly, a prompt, thorough application is essential — the haircolor molecule develops rapidly once mixed.
Also, always mix exactly 1:1 ratio (haircolor : activator). If you prefer a thicker mixture (e.g. for coarse hair or beard), you can optionally add a thickener such as the brand’s haircolor thickener.
As with all chemical color services: perform a patch test if required, avoid contact with eyes or skin, wear gloves, and follow standard safety procedures.
