The damage done to machines by chemical reactions depends strongly on the type of materials used in their construction. Overall, acid would likely be more dangerous to a machine because it tends to react with metals such as iron, corroding the metal. Most metals used in machine parts are more resistant to alkaline solutions. However, concentrated solutions of either strong bases (i.e. NaOH) or strong acids (HCl) are likely to cause significant damage, especially at higher temperatures.

Why some shampoos PH balance?
PH balanced refers to the fact that normal hair and skin have a PH value between 4.5 - 5.5. The "balance" refers to the fact that the shampoo has the same PH value and is therefore balanced, or harmonious with your hair and skin. Ph balanced shampoos don't damage the hair the way alkaline or even neutral PH shampoos will since they don't strip away the oils on your scalp that produce the acid condition (4.5-5.5) that is normally present. The acid condition of your hair and skin is referred to as the "acid mantle." The result of using shampoos that are not PH balanced is dryness, varying in degree, depending on the PH value of the shampoo being used. The higher the PH value of the shampoo, the more severe the dryness can become. Hair colors and permanent waves have alkaline PH values and dry the hair. Hair straighteners are the most alkaline products used in hair salons and damage the hair more than any other chemical treatment . One of the agents in hair straightener is sodium hydroxide. That's the same stuff they use in Drano to dissolve hair that clogs drains.
