THE Internet is host to some of the weirdest things human civilisation could cook up. And lately, a strange hair product has been making rounds across the cyberspace, proving once again that where innovation is concerned, the sky is the limit.
In a recent video, a man could be seen removing his leg hair easily just by rubbing a white chemical solution on his skin. People can only wonder how exceedingly toxic the substance is.

However, there is a societal stigma for males who decide to remove their leg hair and the Internet community was more than happy to point it out.
“Isn’t it forbidden for guys to remove their leg hair?” @_fikrihayati_ wondered.
The tone of the conversation in the comment section was anything but serious with @roku7533 sarcastically saying that users should not drink water five hours before applying the solution for maximum effect.
“Too much water consumption and it will cause the pores of thigh hair to expand,” he said.
Adding to the comedy was a netizen who inquired if the product could be used before or after a meal.
“Everyone is talking about removing the male leg hair. What I really want to know is if we could use it to remove the hair on our private part,” said @AzaharulAzwan.
Towards this question, netizen @mhmmdhsm who brought the video to light said it could be used for the whole body. He further added in another comment that the product should not be reapplied after 24 hours.
A serious user further asked if the product was painful. “I tried two to three products. The ones that are not painful do not remove the hair,” he said.
Away from the jokes, how does the chemical within this product actually remove the hair?
The answer lies in the chemical depilatories within the solution. Depilatories work by breaking down the keratin structure of the hair by inducing chemical reactions.
Keratin is a structural protein that gives the hair its strength and is stabilized by disulphide bonds. All depilatories function by disrupting the disulphide bonds which then destabilizes keratin. This weakens the hair so it can then be easily wiped off the surface of the skin. —June 25, 2025
