A method for coloring hair and removing the color from the hair when desired, comprising coloring the hair with an aqueous hair color composition comprising, in combination: (i) a reducing agent capable of reducing the &mdash;S&mdash;S&mdash; bonds on the hair fiber surface to form reactive &mdash;SH groups; and (ii) a dye molecule containing chemical groups reactive with the &mdash;SH groups on the hair fiber surface to form &mdash;S&mdash;S&mdash; bonds between the dye molecule and the hair fiber surface when the hair color composition is applied to the hair at ambient conditions; wearing the colored hair for the desired period of time; and then removing the color from the hair by contacting the hair with an aqueous based color removal composition containing a reducing agent capable of disrupting the &mdash;S&mdash;S&mdash; bonds between the dye molecule and the hair fiber surface to cause the dye molecule to become disassociated from the hair fiber; and a method for removing dye bonded to the hair fibers via an &mdash;S&mdash;S&mdash; linkage, comprising applying to the hair an aqueous based color removal composition containing a reducing agent capable of disrupting the &mdash;S&mdash;S&mdash; bonds between the dye and hair fiber surface.
