Get some liquid drano, and you'll see that it has sodium hydroxide as main ingredient, which has a high ph, as posted on this site, as a colum or something..It smells like bleach, and if you put it on an article of clothing like your shirt, it turns it lighter...Interesting..

I hope you're not thinking of putting that on your hair.  Its highly corrosive, and its purpose is to dissolve hair in drains.

I did a test strand with it, and I didn't have breakage, but didn't have straightening either, so obviously they mix it with something to activate it or different kind of lye or something.
