                                The natural pH of your scalp is slightly acidic, ideally between 4.5 and 5.5, which is crucial for a healthy microbiome and sealed hair cuticles. Understanding what acid is good for your hair means learning how to restore and maintain this optimal acidic balance, especially when harsh alkaline products disrupt it.
