Alkaline PH shampoos are shampoos with a lower PH balance to help prevent damage to your hair. For example, bleach used to lighten hair has a PH close to 8 and your hair is naturally lower, around a 4. An Alkaline PH shampoo will help neutralize the bleach in your hair, preventing damage.

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.
