pH Balanced Shampoo

A pH balanced shampoo is designed to match the natural acidity of your hair and scalp as closely as possible. This natural pH level is usually between 4.5 and 5.5. If a shampoo is too far outside this range, your hair may feel drier or less smooth. That is why many people choose a mild formula that helps maintain the natural balance.

Neofollics shampoos have a pH level of 6.4. This pH is close to the skin-friendly range and is considered mild for both hair and scalp. For this reason, our shampoos are suitable for regular use and developed with balance in mind. A pH of 6.4 provides gentle cleansing without unnecessarily disturbing the scalp. Below, you will find our shampoos with this balanced pH level.

Emilia

After 3 months of consistent use of the complete treatment, the results are clearly visible. The routine included daily use of the Hair Growth Enhancing Scalp Roller, Hair Growth Stimulating Lotion, Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo and taking 3 Hair Growth Supporting Tablets per day. The Hair Growth Stimulating Conditioner was added later to further support the treatment.
Thanks to this positive progress, the treatment is being continued for a longer period. Once the desired result is achieved, the routine will be adjusted to a maintenance treatment to keep the hair healthy and strong.

What does pH mean for your hair and scalp?

The pH scale runs from 0 to 14.

• Below 7 is acidic
• 7 is chemically neutral
• Above 7 is alkaline

Your hair and scalp naturally have a slightly acidic protective layer. This helps to keep the hair cuticles closed and supports scalp comfort.

If a shampoo is strongly alkaline, meaning clearly above 7, the hair cuticles can open more. As a result, the hair may feel rougher and less smooth.

That is why mildness is important, especially if you wash your hair regularly. A shampoo with a pH within the hair-friendly range helps to respect the natural balance as much as possible.

What is a pH balanced shampoo?

The term pH balanced shampoo is used in different ways in practice. There are three important definitions:

Chemically neutral
A pH of 7. This is the exact middle of the pH scale.

Skin-neutral
A pH around 5.5. This is closer to the natural acidity of the skin.

Hair-friendly range
A pH between about 4.5 and 6.5. This range is often considered mild for hair and scalp.

When brands talk about a pH balanced shampoo, they usually mean that the formula is adjusted to the skin-friendly or hair-friendly range, not that the pH is exactly 7.

Why is a pH of 6.4 mild for your hair?

A pH value of 6.4 is close to the skin-friendly range. It is not strongly alkaline and does not differ much from the natural acidity of the scalp.

Neofollics shampoos are developed with this pH level to:
• Cleanse gently
• Be suitable for regular use
• Support scalp comfort

This does not mean that pH alone determines everything. The cleansing ingredients and the overall formula also play an important role. The pH is one of the factors that contributes to the overall mildness of the shampoo.

When should you choose a mild pH balanced shampoo?

A mild pH balanced shampoo can be a good choice in different situations:

For daily washing
If you wash your hair often, a mild formula helps reduce excessive dryness.

For a sensitive scalp
A shampoo that is not strongly alkaline can help support a more comfortable scalp.

After chemical treatments
After colouring or straightening, the hair is often more sensitive. Gentle cleansing helps avoid putting extra stress on the hair.

For a dry or flaky scalp
In these cases, it is important to respect the natural balance of the scalp. A mild formula can help support this balance, without making medical claims.

Which pH balanced shampoo from Neofollics is right for you?

A pH of 6.4 is considered mild and falls within the hair-friendly range. But the right shampoo for you depends on your needs.

Do you experience thinning hair or hair loss?
The Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo is developed to support the scalp and help the hair look fuller. This shampoo focuses on supporting healthy hair growth and is suitable for regular use.

Are you mainly looking for a healthy and balanced scalp?
The Scalp Therapy Exfoliating Shampoo may be a good choice. This formula helps remove excess sebum and product build-up, while supporting overall scalp condition. Both shampoos have a mild pH value of 6.4 and are developed with balance in mind.

pH Balanced Shampoo: all you need to know

How can you find out the pH level of a shampoo? Is a pH balanced shampoo also sulphate-free? Who is a pH balanced shampoo less suitable for? What is the difference between skin-neutral pH and pH balanced shampoo?

How can you find out the pH level of a shampoo?

The pH level is usually not listed on the packaging. You can contact the manufacturer to ask, or check whether the brand clearly shares information about its formula.

Is a pH balanced shampoo also sulphate-free?

Not automatically. pH and sulphates are different properties. A shampoo can have a mild pH and still contain sulphates, or the other way around. Always check the ingredient list if you are specifically looking for a sulphate-free formula.

Who is a pH balanced shampoo less suitable for?

A pH balanced shampoo is mild, which makes it ideal for daily use. However, if you use a lot of styling products such as gel, wax or hairspray, a mild shampoo may not always remove all build-up completely.

In that case, you may choose to use a more deeply cleansing shampoo from time to time to properly remove product residue.

What is the difference between skin-neutral pH and pH balanced shampoo?

Skin-neutral pH usually refers to a pH of around 5.5, which is close to the natural acidity of the skin. The term pH balanced shampoo is used more broadly and can refer either to a chemically neutral pH of 7 or to a mild, hair-friendly pH level.
