Scruples – A favorite of mine by Jennifer Coy, Cosmetologist and Owner

For the past 25 years Scruples has supported the salon and stylist with their dedication to professionalism. Their integrity is unsurpassed in the industry with zero diversion, which means a lot to the salon owner and stylists. (Diversion means their salon products are not sold to drug stores. They have remained in salons only as they claim). Scruples products are designed to make the stylist and all clients’ jobs easier. As trends change Scruples develops new products to support the trend. The right product makes all the difference in achieving that style for clients and then making the style achievable for the client.

Scruples has great shampoos and conditioners such as the Renewal Shampoo, which is our best selling Scruples shampoo. This shampoo reconstructs dry, damaged, or chemically processed hair. It can be paired with the Renewal Conditioner for total reconstructing. Another amazing conditioner is the Quickseal Conditioner. It detangles, adds shine and manageability without weighing hair down. This is my favorite conditioner and I think the best conditioner for returning the hair to a great healthy texture after chemical treatments such as color, highlights, perms or chemical straights.

But what Scruples is known for today besides great color is incredible styling products. My favorites are the High Definition Firm Shaping Spray , Enforce Sculpting Glaze, Renewal Hair Therapy Polish, and the Crème Parfait. The great thing about all Scruples styling products is that they can be cocktailed together to achieve the exact desired effect. See complete cocktail guide for finding the right products for your desired result.

Also available from Scruples is the Menz product line. There are five products that give men style, control and texture with a great manly scent. They have a unique formula to strengthen the follicle and promote a healthy scalp. These are great preventative products that allow men to keep their hair strong if faced with premature balding or receding. Our best selling product in the men’s line is the Thickening Shampoo.

The luxury line from Scruples is their White Tea products. White Tea is full of disease fighting nutrients that are great for your hair and skin. Sometimes we forget that the shampoo and conditioner we use in the shower must also be good for our skin because it washes over us as we rinse. Our best seller in the Scruples White Tea products is the lotion. It is considered oxygen therapy for the skin. It is packed with 300% more oxygen which is great for moisture penetration. It also contains honey, sunflower, lavender and aloe extracts. Smells amazing!

Finally, the last great item from Scruples that I want to point out is the all new Infinite Ceramic Styler. This flat iron has all the best features; floating plates which allows for curling and straightening, adjustable temperature settings from 107-400 degrees. Plus it offers the negative Ion and Thourmaline Ceramic Nano Technologies to protect against hair color fading. Check them out at HairCareChoices.com.
