The method of accelerated unhairing without degrading the hair was studied. The use of vacuum eliminated the influence of thickness on the penetration of unhairing solution. After speeding up the unhairing by vacuum and 12 hours of keeping of samples the strength of bond between hair and derma did not exceed 0,98 N. It means that hair can be removed by special mechanical means.
