FAQ – Scruples True Integrity Creme Color: Creme Booster

Q1. What is “Creme Booster” and how does it differ from standard True Integrity shades?
A1. Creme Booster is an un-pigmented permanent hair-color booster/additive in the True Integrity line. It does not deposit any pigment by itself — instead it modifies a base shade when mixed, giving extra lift or lift-potential beyond what the base shade alone can achieve.
Because it uses the same True Integrity conditioning base (with the brand’s PBX® protective complex), it preserves hair integrity while enhancing lift.

Q2. When and why would a stylist use Creme Booster?
A2. Stylists use Creme Booster when they need extra lift without switching to a lighter permanent shade or a harsher lightener. For example:

• To achieve a higher level of lift than a regular base shade offers. According to the official description, mixing Creme Booster with a True Integrity shade gives “an extra level of lift.”

• When working with darker or resistant hair that needs a bit more lifting power than a standard permanent creme.

• To maintain True Integrity’s conditioning and shine benefits (e.g., PBX® barrier complex) even when you need more lift.

Q3. How should Creme Booster be mixed with True Integrity Creme Color and developer?
A3. The product instructions say to mix Creme Booster in equal parts with the chosen True Integrity Creme Color shade.
Then proceed as usual — combine with the appropriate developer (e.g. PURE OXI Creme Developer) as per the standard ratio for True Integrity shades, apply on dry hair, and process according to developer strength.

Q4. What benefits does Creme Booster offer for hair condition and final result?
A4. Even though it increases lifting power, Creme Booster retains the conditioning properties of the True Integrity line: it uses PBX® (Protective Barrier Complex) to help deposit color (or allow lift + deposit) deep into the hair shaft while protecting hair integrity. 
It helps deliver vibrant, radiant, shiny results with less damage compared to many high-lift permanent or lightener systems.

Q5. For what kinds of clients or hair conditions is Creme Booster most useful?
A5. Creme Booster is ideal for:

• Clients with natural or resistant dark hair needing more lift than a regular permanent crème can provide.

• Situations where you want lift + tone or lift + deposit in one step, while still maintaining hair integrity.

• Clients who want to lighten hair a bit but avoid harsh lighteners or frequent bleach jobs, minimizing damage while retaining shine and health.

• Stylists aiming for a controlled, predictable lift within a permanent-color framework, rather than risking over-processing with high-volume lighteners.

Q6. Are there preparation tips or precautions when using Creme Booster?
A6. Yes. Because Creme Booster adds lift, hair should be clarified before application to remove buildup (e.g., using a deep-cleansing or clarifying shampoo) — this helps the booster and dye penetrate evenly.
Also, because you’re mixing an additive, stylists should follow manufacturer’s mixing ratios precisely (equal parts booster and base shade + correct developer), and monitor processing time carefully to avoid over-processing or uneven lift.
