FAQ – Scruples PURE OXI 10 & 20 Volume Clear Developer

Q1. What is PURE OXI Clear Developer and what is it used for?
A1. The PURE OXI Clear Developer is a hydrogen-peroxide–based oxidizing developer from the Scruples line. It’s formulated to activate color or lightening services — enabling pigment deposit and/or slight lift of natural hair color pigment when mixed with compatible hair-color systems.
Because it comes in “Clear” form (rather than a tinted cream), it offers a neutral base that helps stylists precisely control the final color result, especially in highlighting, gel-color, or creative mixes.

Q2. What are the 10-volume and 20-volume versions, and when should each be used?
A2. - 10 Volume (3%) Clear Developer — best for level-on-level color, darkening, or deposit-only applications with minimal or no lift. Good when you want to maintain natural depth or slightly enrich tone without significant lightening.

• 20 Volume (6%) Clear Developer — provides a slight lift of natural pigment, useful when you need a subtle lift or want the hair color mixture to deposit while lightening the base slightly.

Q3. Which hair-color systems from Scruples are compatible with PURE OXI Clear Developer?
A3. PURE OXI Clear Developer is compatible with gel-color systems and highlight/lowlight lines such as BLAZING Highlights, High Definition Gel Color, and Shadow Lowlights. 
It’s not recommended for use with certain creme-color lines such as True Integrity Opalescent Creme Color (when that formula explicitly advises against clear developers), or with bleach-powder lighteners — so stylists should always check the manufacturer’s compatibility guidance before mixing.

Q4. What are the benefits of using a “clear” developer rather than a standard tinted or creme developer?
A4. The “clear” base means the developer won’t contribute any pigment or color bias — giving stylists full control over the pigment mix without altering tone unintentionally. This helps in:

• Highlighting, balayage or freehand techniques where lift + deposit are needed in precise locations.

• Gel-color or direct-mix setups where clarity and predictability of the final result are paramount.

• Custom or corrective color work where color result must match exactly what’s formulated.

Q5. How should stylists mix and use PURE OXI Clear Developer for best results?
A5. Mix the developer with the hair-color product as per the color system’s standard ratio, ensuring thorough saturation. Because the developer is “fully stabilized,” the mixture stays moist and workable, allowing for precise application with either a brush or bottle. 
Use 10 Volume when barely any lift is desired, or 20 Volume when mild lift + tone correction is needed. Always follow safety precautions: wear gloves, avoid contact with eyes/skin, and ensure proper ventilation. 

Q6. What results and client hair-situations is PURE OXI Clear Developer best suited for?
A6. It’s ideal for:

• Gentle color services on natural hair when you want level-on-level or slightly darker results.

• Highlighting, balayage, or subtle lift + deposit work where you don’t need dramatic lift.

• Color corrections, toning, or refreshing faded hair without overly aggressive lift or damage.

• Clients looking for controlled, predictable results — especially in salon environments that value precision, consistency, and versatility.
