Now more than ever, clients are wanting more extreme hair transformations in shorter
amounts of time, from platinum, icy blondes to unique creative color techniques. The more dramatic a transformation = the higher risk of damage.

For over 25 years, Scruples’ exclusive Protective Barrier Complex (PBX®) has protected hair from damage while enhancing chemical service results. Now, the perks of PBX® (maintaining moisture, strength and elasticity) have been paired with breakthrough bond building technology to form the next generation of bond builders.
