GlossaryAlkalinity

capacity of a solution to neutralize acids

Alkalinity refers to the capacity of a solution to neutralize acids, often measured by the presence of bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides. In the context of hair care, maintaining the right alkalinity in products is crucial because it affects the hair's pH balance, which can influence hair strength, moisture retention, and overall health.
