From the website: "The larger the volume of the developer, the greater the amount of sulfur is removed from the hair." Sulfur cross-links proteins. There are two amino acids which have sulfur in them, cysteine and methionine, and when two cysteines come together with their -SH groups touching, they form a cross-link. If you delete these cross-links, the hair falls apart.
