Question

There is a lot of talk about pH and shampoos. Some shampoos claim they balance the pH in your hair, others say they are alkaline and others say they are neutral or match the "natural" pH of your hair. What do you think that this means? Do you think the pH of your shampoo affects the condition of your hair? Why or why not? *

Answer 1

Answer:Yes it affects the conditions of the hair.

Explanation:most shampoos have pH values higher than the pH of the hair shaft of 3.6 and also higher than the pH of the hair scalp of 5.5. Therefore the usage of hair shampoo with pH values above 5.5 may likely increase the rate of friction which may cause hair breakage and facilitate hair tangling.
