Describe how the PH of a product affects the hair.
Hair is naturally acidic, around 3.5-4.5 pH. Hair is healthiest when it’s in its natural, semi-acidic state, so using products that maintain this is important.
The pH of a product affects the hair’s cuticle and health.
-Acidic products (pH 3.5–5.5) smooth and seal the cuticle, which improves it’s shine and strength.
-Neutral products (pH 7) are mild but can still disrupt the balance if used for a long time.
-Alkaline products (pH 8+) open the cuticle for treatments but can cause dryness and damage if overused.
