POWERTOOLS STB Stop The Burn 2 oz hair color additive — reduces scalp irritation, preserves processing time

POWERTOOLS STB is a 2 oz concentrated formula designed to be mixed into hair color or applied to sensitive scalp areas to reduce irritation during coloring and lightening.

Created for stylists and at-home colorists who need a safer, more comfortable color service, STB (Stop The Burn) targets the common problem of scalp tingling, itching, and localized chemical discomfort during dyeing or bleaching. This 2 oz bottle is formulated to be added directly to color or bleach mixes or dabbed on the scalp where sensitivity appears, without noticeably changing processing times when used as directed.

How do I use STB with my hair color or bleach?

Use STB either by adding a measured amount into your color or lightener mix for clients known to have sensitive scalps, or apply it topically to irritated spots before product application. Follow the dosing guidelines printed on the box so you don't alter the manufacturer’s processing ratios.

• Add drops into the bowl mix per the package instructions for whole-scalp protection.
• Apply directly to localized sensitive areas prior to color placement to reduce stinging sensations.
• Do not exceed recommended measurements to avoid impacting color performance.

Will STB change my color results or processing time?

POWERTOOLS designed STB to be compatible with standard color and lightener formulations so it won’t meaningfully dilute your mix when used as instructed. When dosed according to the printed measurements, processing times and final shade are preserved while adding an added layer of scalp comfort.

• Measured drops keep color concentration intact.
• No extra developer time is required when used per directions.
• Works alongside any manufacturer's color or bleach system.

Can STB protect hair as well as the scalp?

Alongside calming sensitive skin, STB includes components intended to reduce oxidative stress around the hair shaft, which can help limit peroxide-related damage and the appearance of split ends during chemical services. It’s an adjunct to—rather than a replacement for—proper technique and aftercare.

• Formulation supports reduced peroxide impact on exposed strands.
• Helps maintain hair integrity during color or lightening processes.
• Complements nourishing treatments and post-color care routines.

Is STB compatible with all color brands and sensitive scalps?

Yes — STB is formulated to be used with any professional or retail color and bleaching products. It’s intended for people who commonly experience sensitivity, but anyone can use it as a preventive measure for more comfortable services.

• Designed for use with all manufacturer's color and bleach lines.
• Suitable for known sensitive areas and routine preventive use.
• Easy to integrate into salon workflows without special equipment.

Who is this for? POWERTOOLS STB is for professional stylists and DIY colorists who want a practical way to reduce scalp discomfort during dyeing or lightening, especially clients with a history of tingling, itching, or localized sensitivity. It’s also useful for anyone looking to add an extra safeguard to chemical services while preserving color results and hair integrity when used according to the included directions.
