Scruples Color Art Fresh Activator is the dedicated developer used to activate the Color Art Fresh demi-permanent liquid hair color system. It’s required for all color, gloss, toning, and gray-coverage services with the system: without the activator, the demi-permanent pigment cannot deposit properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"1132\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"752\"\u003eQ2. Is the developer noted as “deposit-only,” and what does that mean for stylists?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"755\"\u003eA2. Yes — the Activator is described as a “deposit-only developer.” This means it does not lift natural pigment significantly, but rather allows the demi-permanent color to deposit onto the existing hair shaft. That’s why Color Art Fresh is gentler and more conditioning than oxidative permanent dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1492\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003eQ3.

The complete Color Art Fresh system (color + Activator) is designed with conditioning and shine in mind. Formulas include ingredients such as lotus root, mango butter, lavender, and a “PBX” Protective Barrier Complex that helps restore moisture, add protein, and maintain elasticity and shine. As a result, the hair tends to feel smoother, more hydrated, and healthier than with many traditional permanent color services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2894\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2848\"\u003eQ6.
