FAQ

Q: What is Scruples True Integrity Crème Color — Strawberry Blonde Series?
A: It’s part of the “True Integrity / Opalescent Crème Colour” line — a low-ammonia permanent (or demi-permanent, depending on developer strength) haircolor system. The Strawberry Blonde Series (e.g. shades 7NC, 8NC, 9NC, etc.) is formulated to deliver soft coppery / neutral-copper / strawberry-blonde tones with the coverage and richness of a professional salon color system. 

Q: What are the main benefits of using the Strawberry Blonde Series?
A:

• The formula offers rich, wearable strawberry-blonde / neutral-copper shades — perfect for clients seeking a warm blonde with depth, warmth, and natural-looking tone rather than overly bright or ash blondes. 

• It provides full or near-full gray/white hair coverage, even in lighter shades — useful for clients looking to lighten but still need opacity and longevity. 

• The line uses a low-ammonia formula (less than ~1% ammonia when mixed), which is gentler on hair and scalp than traditional high-ammonia dyes — appealing to clients who want color with less chemical stress. 

• It delivers a translucent, opalescent finish — meaning hair shows dimension, shine, and healthy-looking depth, rather than flat or dull results. 

• Because the system is “true to level / true to swatch,” stylists can reliably predict the outcome, which helps with consistency and reduces surprises. 

Q: What types of clients or hair conditions is this color series ideal for?
A: The Strawberry Blonde Series is well-suited for clients who:

• Want warm/coppery blonde tones rather than neutral or ash blondes.

• Have natural hair or previously colored hair (even with grays) and need dependable coverage while lightening or shifting tones.

• Prefer a gentler, lower-ammonia color process (less potential irritation, less structural stress).

• Are looking for natural-looking, wearable blondes — flattering for clients who want softness instead of high-contrast or fashion-color blondes.

Q: How should stylists use it — mixing & application guidelines for best results?
A: According to the manufacturer:

1. Mix the crème color with developer at a 1:1.5 ratio (1 part color : 1.5 parts developer). 

2. Apply on dry, unwashed hair using a bowl and brush to ensure even saturation. 

3. Process according to instructions — timing may vary depending on hair’s natural level, previous color history, and desired result. For some shades or scenarios, balancing ends or adjusting processing time may be necessary. 

4. After processing, shampoo with a color-safe or recommended shampoo, then follow with a conditioner or treatment to lock in moisture and maintain hair health. 

5. For hair with significant resistance (e.g. stubborn gray, coarse hair), some stylists may consider pre-service clarifying (e.g. with a cleansing shampoo) to ensure optimal penetration. 

Q: What results can clients expect after using Strawberry Blonde Crème Color?
A: Clients should receive a natural-looking warm/coppery blonde or neutral-copper tone, with even coverage (including grays), good depth and shine, and a soft opalescent finish rather than a flat or harsh result. With proper aftercare and maintenance — color-safe shampoos, gentle styling — the color should remain vibrant and the hair stay healthy-looking.

Q: Why choose Strawberry Blonde Series over other blonde or lightening + toner approaches?
A: This series simplifies the coloration process — rather than doing a full lighten-then-tone sequence (which adds time, chemical stress, and potential damage), Strawberry Blonde Crème Color gives a rich, wearable blonde in one step with lower ammonia, built-in pigmentation and conditioning, more predictable results, and better hair integrity — making it appealing for clients who want a warm blonde without the harshness or maintenance burden of high-lift blonding services.
