Balanced the pH of your hair and scalp lately?........ Natural & Chemically Treated

The term "pH" originates from the French term 'pouvoir hydrogen' (or Hydrogen Power) and has since been expressed as "parts hydrogen". pH refers to the amount of hydrogen ions found in a substance. It's the amount of hydrogen ions present in a substance that determines the acidity or alkalinity of that substance.

*pH levels are expressed on a logarithmic scale with a range of "0" to "14" with numbers closer to "0" as more acidic and closer to "14" as more alkaline. A pH of "7" is neutral - distilled water has a pH of 7. Some everyday substances and their pH levels are: lemon juice, pH 2.2; vinegar, pH 3; baking soda, pH 8.4; ammonia, pH 12 - WOW!

Alkalis and acids have different effects on the hair. Acids will harden and contract the hair, while alkalis expand and soften the hair shaft. Hair and skin has a pH level of between 4.5 and 5.5 (an average of 5), and any application of acidic and alkaline compounds can raise or lower the pH levels of the hair causing physical changes. Shampoos, conditioners and other chemical hair products use acids and alkalis to affect changes in the hair.

Many clarifying shampoos use alkaline ingredients to swell the hair shaft and allow the surfactants to penetrate more deeply. Try our NATURAL Hair Swellers with "Clarify Me" Shampoo. Most Hair Relaxers/Perms use a strong alkali to soften the hair, break the side bonds of the hair and remove curl. In addition, many conditioners and moisturizing shampoos use acidic compounds to contract the hair shaft, smoothing it and locking in moisture.

As an example of the effects of pH, consider the fact that distilled water which is pH neutral (7.0) is 100 times more alkaline than hair......... so wash your hair with it.

The shampoo you choose can make a difference in the health and appearance of your hair. The pH balance of your hair and skin is about 5, or slightly acidic. Shampoos can be either acidic or alkaline; a shampoo that advertises itself as being "pH balanced" should be slightly acidic. There are several reasons using a pH balanced shampoo is good for your hair: Closes the Cuticle, Prevent Damage, Keep the Color,Excessive Oil. All in one with pH Balancer.
