FAQ – Scruples PBX Bond Builder

Q1. What is PBX Bond Builder and what does it do?
A1. PBX Bond Builder is a single-step additive designed to be used in any chemical service (coloring, bleaching, perming, lightening, direct dye, etc.) to protect, repair, and maintain hair health.
It uses the brand’s proprietary PBX® complex plus reparative copolymers to rebuild internal hair bonds, restore moisture and elasticity, and help prevent breakage — reinforcing hair structure even under chemical stress.

Q2. Which services or treatments benefit most from adding PBX Bond Builder?
A2. PBX Bond Builder can be added to virtually any chemical service — including: permanent and demi-permanent hair color, bleach and lightening systems, highlights, direct dyes, perms/texturizers, relaxers, color removers — basically any process that may stress or damage hair.
It’s especially recommended for high-damage or high-alteration services, such as lightening to blonde, frequent color changes, corrective color, or repeated chemical processing — situations where maintaining hair integrity is critical.

Q3. How do stylists use PBX Bond Builder — what’s the mixing protocol?
A3. For most chemical services (color, lightener, highlights, etc.), stylists mix the service formula as usual (color + developer or bleach + developer/lightener), then add ~ 3.5 ml (≈ 1/8 oz.) of PBX Bond Builder per application before applying.
For treatments, you can also add PBX Bond Builder to conditioning masks or neutralizing solutions (per manufacturer directions) for extra bond-building and conditioning benefits. 
Importantly: adding PBX Bond Builder does not require altering developer strength or increasing processing time.

Q4. What are the key benefits for hair health, feel, and outcome after using PBX Bond Builder?
A4. PBX Bond Builder helps to:

• Repair and strengthen internal hair structure — reducing breakage and damage associated with chemical services.

• Maintain moisture, elasticity, and shine — helping hair feel softer, more manageable, and less brittle.

• Protect against further damage from lightening or repeated color/chemical services — making it a safeguard for clients who frequently change or bleach their hair.

• Improve consistency and confidence in chemical results — because bonds are reinforced, the hair is less likely to over-process, break, or suffer uneven damage. 

Q5. Is PBX Bond Builder compatible with all hair-color/lightening systems and brand formulas?
A5. Yes — according to manufacturer information, PBX Bond Builder can be added to any brand’s chemical service formulas (color, bleach, lightener, perms, relaxers) — you do not need to stick to Scruples systems exclusively.
This makes it a versatile “universal bond-builder additive,” giving salons flexibility to use it regardless of the haircolor or lightening products they carry.

Q6. How should PBX Bond Builder be marketed on a salon-facing store or e-commerce site?
A6. On your Shopify store, position PBX Bond Builder as an essential add-on for any chemical service — highlighting “bond protection,” “damage prevention,” “moisture & elasticity restoration,” “bond repair,” and “color-service confidence” — ideal for clients who bleach, highlight, color often, or want to preserve hair integrity.
Use keywords such as: bond builder, repair, chemical service protection, moisture & strength, reduce breakage, hair health additive. Emphasize versatility (“works with all color/lightener systems”), and benefits like stronger, healthier hair — even after bleach, highlights, perm or color.
