Are ph balanced shampoos really any different?

Answer by  DStone (817)

Ph balabced shampoos are best for people with flaky scapls or who chemically treat their hair. It's also good for swimmers who expose their hair to cholrine and sunlight. For people with dry or oily hair, it's best to use a shampoo that is simply cleansing and only wash your hair about every other day; more can damage it further.

I think it's just an ad too, since I tried a Ph-balanced shampoo and didn't find that it impacted my hair in any meaningful way.

They help fix the chemical balance in your hair. Every day wear and tear can damage hair. These shampoos help to retain your natural chemical balance.

Ph balanced shampoos are slightly acidic and will not strip the hair of any moisture because they do not open the cuticle of the hair. They are good for dry, color-treated, and coarse hair types. Deep cleaning and volumizing shampoos are slightly alkaline so the shampoo can open the cuticle of the hair to remove excess dirt or moisture.
