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.
