Scruples Blazing Highlights Blue Oil Lightener

Scruples Blazing Highlights Blue Oil Lightener 

FAQ

Q: What is Scruples Blazing Highlights Blue Oil Lightener?
A: It’s a professional on-scalp (and highlighting) lightener from Scruples, formulated as part of the Blazing Highlights system. The formula includes a deep blue pigment that helps neutralize warmth and underlying pigment as hair lifts — giving stylists improved control to achieve cooler, cleaner blondes. 

Q: What level of lift can I expect from Blue Oil Lightener?
A: When properly mixed (with the brand’s developer and booster concentrate), it can safely lift hair up to 7 levels. 

Q: What makes this lightener different from standard bleach/lighteners?
A: Several features stand out:

• The blue pigment helps counteract warmth (brassy or orange tones), which improves results when targeting cool or ashy blondes. 

• The formula is conditioning and protective for both hair and scalp — designed to maintain hair integrity during lift and leave scalp in good condition. 

• The consistency is a silky, easy-to-apply oil-gel (rather than a dry powder), making it easier to mix and apply smoothly with a brush or bottle. 

Q: What hair/color situations is Blue Oil Lightener best for?
A: It’s ideal when you want to lift natural or previously colored hair with on-scalp lift or highlights — especially for clients who desire cooler/blonde results, want to avoid harsh warmth, or need a gentle yet effective lightening process. 

Q: How should stylists mix and use it correctly?
A: The typical mixing protocol (per manufacturer) is:

• Pour 2 oz of 20-volume clear developer (e.g. Scruples PURE OXI) into a bowl or applicator. 

• Add 7 scoops of the brand’s booster concentrate (if using for extra lift as recommended). 

• Then add 1 oz of the Blue Oil Lightener and mix thoroughly until a rich, smooth blue-cream forms. 

• Apply according to whether it’s a virgin head or retouch, and process at room temperature for about 30 to 45 minutes (unless otherwise specified by strand test). 

Q: What precautions or considerations should stylists take when using it?
A: Because this product contains ammonia and is a chemical lightener:

• Always perform a patch test and strand test before applying, especially on previously treated hair or sensitive scalps.

• Use gloves and proper protective protocols. 

• After lightening, follow up with a conditioning or bond-repair treatment to restore hair health. Even though the formula aims to be conditioning, lift services stress hair — aftercare is critical.

• If achieving a high level of lift or very light blonde, consider using a toner after rinsing to achieve the desired shade (especially if warmth appears). 

Q: What results can clients expect from Blue Oil Lightener?
A: When used correctly, clients can get significant lift (up to 7 levels), with cleaner, cooler blonde results and less brassiness thanks to the blue-pigment neutralization. Hair and scalp remain in better condition compared to harsh bleaching, and end result should be lighter, brighter, and more salon-quality blonde.
