The ph level of the hair affects its appearance. Acidity will cause it to feel hard to the touch and shrink while alkalinity causes it to swell too much with a flyaway feel. It is best to use ph-balanced shampoos. Sometimes you may get the impression of having squeaky-clean hair with high alkaline shampoos. However, using high alkaline shampoos lead to hair breakage and split ends.
Shampoos function to clean the hair and the scalp. The hair and the scalp needed frequent cleaning to keep it healthy, bacteria free, and clean. Shampoos remove perspiration, oil, dirt, and skin debris. The hair collects dust particles that may become as the breeding place for bacteria. Cleaning your hair is not shampoo dependent. It also depends on the type of water, hard or soft, that you wash your hair.
