The ingredients of Nair are: Water, Mineral Oil, Calcium Hydroxidem, Urea, Potassium Thioglycolate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Sodium Hydroxide, Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) Butter, Fragrance, Tocopherol (Vitamin #), and D&C Yellow No. 8.

Ok, now it's been a while since I've had chem class, but if memory serves, Calcium Hydroxidem and Sodium Hydroxide are not to be toyed with. Offhand, I imagine it probably oxidizes the hair and dissolves it that way. I don't know the chemical makeup of hair, and I forget exactly what the formula for Calcium Hydroxidem is, so I can't write up a chemical formula for you. I hope this was helpful, all the same?

How does hair color remover work?

Hair color remover works by breaking down the artificial dye molecules in the hair, allowing them to be washed out. This is typically done with the help of ingredients like sulfites, which penetrate the hair shaft and reduce the size of the dye molecules. Once the molecules are small enough, they can be easily rinsed away, helping to fade the color from the hair.
