It is difficult to say without knowing precisely how much of each ingredient is added to the mixture of shampoo.

However we do know that most shampoos are very weak acids with a typical pH for a shampoo being between 5 and 6.

You can look up a more in depth answer than what I have given you if you search advanced acid/base chemistry. It may get complicated unless you have considerable knowledge about acids, lewis acids, brownsted acids and bases.

Good luck!
