What is the average pH of human hair and skin?

The correct answer is: 5

The average pH of human hair and skin is around 5, which is slightly acidic. This acidity is important for maintaining the health of the skin and hair. A pH of 5 helps to support the skin's natural barrier function, which protects against pathogenic bacteria and environmental damage. Additionally, the slightly acidic nature of the scalp and hair contributes to the overall health of the hair cuticle, preventing damage and keeping the hair shiny and strong. In contrast, a neutral pH of 7.0 can result in an imbalance that may lead to dryness or irritation of the skin and hair. Understanding this average pH is crucial for barbers and hairstylists, as they need to choose products that align with this natural acidity to provide optimal care for their clients.
