When only one sulfur atom is removed, replacing the disulfide bond with a lanthionine bond.
500
What is a neutralizer???
A neutralizer can also be referred to as a stabilizer or normalizer, it reforms the disulfide bonds broken during the processing and keeps the hair in the new reconstructed position.
