There are many enzymes at work in hair and unless a process is specified, it's difficult to answer. Perhaps you meant to ask about the prevailing protein in hair, which is keratin. Most enzymes are proteins but not all proteins are enzymes.
See related link below for more information about keratin.

What does the name of an enzyme tell us?
The name of an enzyme typically indicates its substrate or the type of reaction it catalyzes. Enzyme names often end in "-ase" to show that it is an enzyme. Additionally, the name may provide information about the enzyme's source or origin, such as "pepsin" from the stomach.
What is the name of the enzyme that activates another enzyme?
The enzyme that activates another enzyme is called a kinase. Kinases add phosphate groups to proteins, a process known as phosphorylation, which can activate or deactivate the target enzyme.
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis?
The enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis is gelatinase.
What is the name of enzyme obtained fropm papaya?
The enzyme obtained from papaya which hydrolyzes the proteins is called Papain
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
Which type of enzyme removes hair from skin?
The Enzyme Skin Peel is the type of enzyme that removes hair from the skin.
Why is hair not an enzyme?
Hair like enzymes are made of protein. However for a protein to be an enzyme it must have a very specific tertiary structure (shape) and have an active site that has a complementary shape to part of its substrate molecule. ie the enzyme must fit with the thing that it breaks down The tertiary sructure of hair is not highly folded and does not have a complementary shape to a substrate molecule therefore it is not an enzyme

What 3 letters in the enzyme's name tells that it is an enzyme?
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
What is the name of the molecule that is the enzyme?
Typically, any macro-biomolecule whose name ends with the suffix -ase is an enzyme.
Is fructase an enzyme?
There is no enzyme by the name "fructase." However, an enzyme called fructosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-containing compounds.
What is part is an enzyme's name usually derived from?
Usually an enzyme is named after it's function.
What 3 letter in the enzyme name tells that it is an enzyme?
The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
What part of an enzymes name usually derived?
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
What is the name of the enzyme that activates another enzyme?
The enzyme that activates another enzyme is called a kinase. Kinases add phosphate groups to proteins, a process known as phosphorylation, which can activate or deactivate the target enzyme.
Write the name of an enzyme and define its clinical importance?
"protease"; an enzyme that breaks down proteins
What is the name of the enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis?
The enzyme responsible for gelatin hydrolysis is gelatinase.
