Scruples Blazing Highlights Oil Lightener

Scruples Blazing Highlights Oil Lightener

FAQ 

Q: What is Scruples Blazing Highlights Oil Lightener?
A: It is a professional-grade oil-based lightener from Scruples, part of the Blazing Highlights line. The Oil Lightener is formulated to lift hair color while conditioning hair and scalp simultaneously — giving stylists a controlled, salon-safe bleaching option.

Q: What level of lift can it achieve?
A: When properly mixed (with the brand’s developer and booster, if applicable) it can lift hair up to 7 levels — delivering substantial lightening for highlights, balayage, or full-lightening work. 

Q: What makes this oil lightener different from a standard powder bleach?
A: Unlike many traditional bleaches, the Oil Lightener:

• Uses a silky, smooth, oil-gel consistency that makes application easier and more controlled (with brush or bottle) — ideal for on-scalp or highlighting work. 

• Helps keep hair and scalp moisturized during the lifting process, reducing dryness and minimizing scalp discomfort when properly applied. 

• Includes a deep-blue pigment (in the “Blue Oil Lightener” variant) to help counteract warmth and underlying pigment — useful when aiming for cooler, cleaner blondes. 

Q: What hair situations or services is this lightener best for?
A: It’s especially useful when you want to:

• Lift natural or previously colored hair for highlights, balayage, ombré or full-head lightening.

• Maintain hair and scalp integrity during processing (e.g., for clients with sensitive scalp, fragile hair, or frequent lightening).

• Achieve cooler blonde tones with minimal warmth or brassiness — especially when using the blue-tinted variant.

• Offer on-scalp lightening (when permitted by the system) with easier application and less mess compared to powders.

Q: How should a stylist mix and apply the Oil Lightener for best results?
A: According to manufacturer instructions:

1. Use the correct developer (e.g., 20-volume clear developer per the system). 

2. Optionally, combine with the brand’s booster (e.g. their “X-tra Light Booster Concentrate”) to adjust lifting strength or speed — especially for darker hair needing more lift. 

3. Mix until you obtain a smooth, creamy oil-gel consistency. Apply with brush or bottle — whether for highlights, balayage, or full-lightening. The oil-gel texture makes application cleaner and easier. 

4. Process according to hair condition and desired lift level — following recommended timing and performing strand tests. After processing, rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioning or bond-building treatments to preserve hair integrity. 

Q: What precautions should be taken when using this lightener?
A: Because it contains ammonia (as noted by manufacturer), it requires standard lightening safety measures: perform a patch and strand test for scalp sensitivity and hair integrity before use; wear protective gloves; avoid use on eyelashes/eyebrows; and ensure proper ventilation.  Also, provide professional aftercare (deep conditioning, bond treatments) post-process to maintain hair health.

Q: What results can clients expect after using Scruples Blazing Highlights Oil Lightener?
A: Clients can get up to 7-level lift, leaving hair significantly lighter and ready for toning or further color work. The oil-based formula helps hair remain softer, less dry or brittle than some powder bleaches, with scalp comfort and more manageable integrity — especially when followed with proper after-treatments. For “blue oil” variant users, expect cleaner, cooler blonde results with less warmth or brassiness.
