    So what should the PH of a gentle shampoo be?

    This is very important. I'm so happy I've began understanding the PH of products. I test the PH of all my products.

    As always; great educational content! Back when I first went natural (2006), there were only a few naturals on YT that really broke this down. So glad that your channel is very mature in its content. My hair and I thank you!

    Thank you for this, I recently used a shakakai shampoo rinse and unfortunately it was not a good experience for me. After much research I realised that the pH of shakakai is quite acidic and my low porosity hair hates it, which lead to my cuticles shutting down tightly.
    I would appreciate it if you could do a video on how to increase the pH of products. Thanks

    I'm about to start watching, but I've been aware of needing to test the pH of some of my DIY Ayurvedic hair products. This maybe the video I need to kickstart me doing it finally. 🤔
    Edit: Thanks for an informative video. Really interesting! Yes, I'd love to know how to change my products more basic/acidic depending on what I need to change. Please and thank you 😊

    I can't wait for the next video. I recently had a hair setback after my aunt cornrowed my hair. They were too tight and damaged my hair and scalp. My edges are extremely damaged and I have lesions on my scalp. Any help would be much appreciated!

  • @makedasamuel-gaskin7760
    @makedasamuel-gaskin7760 4 года назад +3

    With the teas, you said it would be good to dilute it to a point where it becomes good as a sealant, wouldn't you leave it more acidic so the cuticle layer is open (more suspectible to nutrients) and also that the other products you layer on top close down the cuticle?

    • @NowIAmNappy
      @NowIAmNappy  4 года назад +3

      Yes still leave it acidic but a 3.5 is too low, try to bring the ph up to a 4

    Hey 👋🏽 I made a rinse out hair conditioner & the ph strip didn’t change, I was reading something that said if the product is oil based it won’t have a ph but it also contains distilled water. Would you happen to know what it is I’m doing wrong? The strips definitely work, I tried it on my other products & the color changed.
