Most neutralizong shampoos fail the pink test so I came here hoping for help. After all the chemistry that went over my head, rather than recommending an 'acid' and/or product to sufficiently neutralize my hair and restore the right ph, you ended abruptly. I feel like you shoved me off of a cliff😢
Although it seems a bit complex, you explained it so well. You broke it down to its bare basic form. I do have one question. I wear permanent color, but my hair stylist never use a neutralizing shampoo, can this cause damage? When she blow drys, my hair looks frizzy and the ends split. I use excellent hair products and two leave in conditioners. I never use heat on my hair in between salon spots, which every two weeks and color touch ups are only done every three months and only the new growth. I take great care of my hair and wondered why it looks this way after blow drying. Could the non use of neutralizing shampoos after coloring play a role? Please advise. Thank you.
Lye relaxers use a neutralizing shampoo with a very acidic pH, but shampoo isn't the best way. Rinse the color thoroughly with warm water and apply an acidic conditioner. I don't like to recommend brands, but www.avlon.com/affirm/5-in-1-reconstructor-step-3/ The color continues to damage your hair for days, if you don't neutralize the pH. As far as regular care a mild shampoo is critical for the overall health of your hair. Ignore the advertising claims in big print on the front of the bottle and learn to read the ingredients in small print on the back of the bottle. Anionic surfactants are the main active ingredients in all shampoos. Co-surfactants improve mildness, reduce irritation, increase foam, and condition the hair. A properly formulated shampoo is a sophisticated blend of several surfactants designed to gently remove dirt and oil, without irritation, dryness or damage. Shampoo contains hundreds of different surfactants. I’ve listed the major families of mild surfactants with one specific example of each. Look for a shampoo that contains at least two or more of the surfactants below. BETAINES Cocamidopropyl Betaine ISETHIONATES Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate SARCOSINATES Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate LAURETH SULFATES Sodium Laureth Sulfate SULFONATES Sodium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate SULFOSUCCINATES Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate TAURATES Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate AMPHOACETATES Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate Click the link below for the best way to shampoo your hair. chemistrysimplified.com/lather-rinse-repeat/
Hi there, Thanks for the great video. If I do decide to use the Apple Cider Vinegar, what would be a safe ratio of the vinegar to water please? Or can L-ascorbic acid powder work as well? Thanks in advance.
If ACV is apple cider vinegar, the answer is yes, but it stinks. You can make an acidic rinse with Fruit Fresh (ascorbic acid). a half teaspoon in 8 ounces of water will do it. Condition first, then follow with the rinse. rub in for a minute and rinse with water. The final rinse with water will not change the pH.

You can dilute 1 part cheap white wine to 2 parts water for a ph balancing 'rinse' & it'll close the cuticle for shinier hair.

Can I rinse with ACV?
