What is the relation between pH and your hair health? #52

What can affect the pH of hair? Hair texture: Your hair pattern can determine if your hair pH is more inclined to be acidic or alkaline. Straighter hair patterns are usually more acidic from root to ends falling into the optimal range pH, whilst the curlier your hair pattern is the more alkaline it will be throughout your hair length. This happens because the natural scalp sebum is acidic and is able to travel through from roots to tips easier in straight hair than through curly/kinky hair patterns twists and turns. Consequently, the curlier/kinkier your hair is the more it will be naturally dryer and more prone to breakage.
