A hair-color removing composition comprising:
- (a) at least one reducing agent chosen from glutaric acid, glyoxylic acid, thiolactic acid, thioglycolic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid, or combinations of two or more thereof;
- (b) at least one amino acid;
- (c) optionally, at least one amine compound;
- and
- (d) at least one solvent.
A hair-color removing composition comprising:
- (a) at least one reducing agent chosen from glutaric acid, glyoxylic acid, thiolactic acid, thioglycolic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid, or combinations of two or more thereof;
- (b) at least one amino acid;
- (c) monoethanolamine;
- and
- (d) water,
- wherein the pH of the composition ranges from about 1 to about 6.
A method for removing color from hair, the method comprising:
- i. applying to the hair a hair-color removing composition comprising:
