Build Better Bonds with Scruples new PBX® Bond Builder!
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.

To keep up with the needs of modern stylists who often perform dramatic, detailed work in the salon daily, we have fused PBX® with a copolymer creating PBX® Bond Builder, a single-step additive that builds better bonds!

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. PBX® Bond Builder can be added to any chemical service without altering formulas or processing times in order to help repair hair’s cellular structure and prevent further damage.

If I already use Scruples products containing PBX, do I need to add PBX Bond Builder?
Every stylist can benefit from adding PBX Bond Builder to chemical services, even those that already include PBX.
