This can either be immediately after coloration if the client does not like the colour, or it may be that a client wishes to \u2018reset\u2019 their hair and almost start again. There are oxidative and reductive methodologies to remove hair dye: (i) The oxidative method utilizes persulfate\u2010based products, which are very difficult to control; however, professional hairdressers understand the limitations of what is possible without causing excessive oxidative damage to the hair fibre. (ii) The reductive method to remove dyes utilize sulfinate\u2010based reducing agents commonly used in the textile industry. Commercial products based on these reducing agents have been, and are still being, used to \u2018decolour\u2019 dyed hair, albeit with significant drawbacks. The objective of this study was to introduce formamidine sulfinic acid and demonstrate its effective removal of hair dye in a safe and effective manner without the drawbacks of alternative reducing agents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper describes and critically assesses the use, performance and drawbacks of ascorbic acid, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (aka sodium oxymethylene sulfoxylate) and formamidine sulfinic acid as colour removal agents against different types and classes of hair dyes on human hair, and compares the various outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The formamidine sulfinic acid system presented herein is an extremely effective reducing agent for use in removing colour from dyed hair. It works extremely well on all types and systems of colourants including permanent oxidative colourants (from different manufacturers) which represent the majority of products used in the hair coloration market.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The colour removal effectiveness of sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (sodium oxymethylene sulfoxylate) is good, but it has three drawbacks: (i) it produces formaldehyde, (ii) the colour can return and (iii) can result in unpredictable shades on subsequent oxidative colouring. The formamidine sulfinic acid system presented herein is extremely effective and gives excellent colour removal results across different colourant systems with the added benefit that it does not have the drawbacks that the other systems have.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ics.70013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,14]],"date-time":"2025-10-14T01:39:00Z","timestamp":1760405940000},"page":"211-229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Removal of synthetic hair dye using formamidine sulfinic acid and other sulfinate precursors"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3343-1854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamie A.","family":"Hawkes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Perachem Limited  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7396-9793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David M.","family":"Lewis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Design University of Leeds  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-8075-140X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Mama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perachem Limited  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4757-957X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacob","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Perachem Limited  Leeds UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","first-page":"59","article-title":"The formulation of oxidation hair dyes","volume":"83","author":"Tucker HH","year":"1968","journal-title":"Am Perf Cosm"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29690000207"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29690000213"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29690000818"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29690000823"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29690000827"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29700001418"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/J29700001502"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/P29720000539"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1039\/P29720000999"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","first-page":"103","article-title":"The role of meta difunctional benzene derivatives in oxidative dyeing.
