We're pH Balanced. Why is that important?!
Let’s talk about pH—it’s quite fascinating!
What is pH?
pH measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is, ranging from 0-14:
- 0-6.9: Acidic
- 7: Neutral
- 7.1-14: Alkaline
Human hair has a natural pH between 4 and 5.5. To maintain healthy hair, your products should ideally match this pH range.
Why Does This Matter?
When you wash your hair with alkaline tap water, it opens the hair cuticles. This exposure can lead to issues like flyaways, split ends, and environmental damage, as your hair absorbs whatever comes its way.
How to Protect Your Hair:
To close the cuticles and restore balance, we use citric acid—derived from citrus fruits—to lower the pH of our formulas to the desired range.
Key Takeaway:
Many hair products are not pH balanced, which can hinder their effectiveness. All Under Luna shampoos and conditioners are pH balanced to ensure your hair retains the nutrients from our carefully selected ingredients. Let’s make sure nothing goes to waste!
