At times, when hair care is under consideration, shampooing on a daily basis is not enough. Usually, you would want to add an extra product for everyday hair care routine, and that is conditioner. Here are a few history points on this great hair product: it was in the early 1900’s where hair conditioner first made an appearance. Thanks to a French perfume maker named Ed Pinaud, who intended his product to smoothen and soften beards and mustaches, women of today can also enjoy soft and manageable hair.

Hair has many properties, which affects its texture, color, appearance, and overall health. To be able to effectively care for your hair, you should be familiar about a concept known as pH, which is also known as acidity or alkalinity, and how this property can affect your tresses.

Here is a bit of info about pH, as defined in terms of chemical properties of solutions. As said before, pH is the measure of how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH of 7, means that a solution is neutral, neither acidic nor basic. Distilled water is an example of this. When pH falls below 7, it is considered acidic. When it goes above 7, it is basic or alkaline.
