Lamination and Shampoo: The Ultimate Guide of pH
When you do brow lamination, it's important to use products that help maintain your hair's health. One crucial factor is the pH level of your shampoo. An acidic shampoo helps seal the hair cuticle, preventing color from fading and protecting your hair from absorbing products No.1 and No.2 too deeply. The best shampoos for brow lamination include, for example, Zola, Elan, or Kaskaderka shop.
Opening the Hair: The lamination process starts by opening the hair's outer layer (cuticle) using a product with a higher pH.
Building Stronger Hair: Next, a product with a lower pH is applied to rebuild the hair's structure and seal the cuticle.
Protecting Your Color: After lamination, using a shampoo with an acidic pH helps maintain your hair color and keeps it looking shiny.
Coloring Process: When you color your hair, the cuticle is opened and closed to allow the color to penetrate.
Hydrating and Sealing: A moisturizing product with an acidic pH seals the hair cuticle and provides hydration.
Determining Shampoo pH: To accurately measure the shampoo's pH, one must understand the pH scale and the distinction between acidic, neutral, and alkaline environments. pH test strips are a convenient tool for this purpose.
How to Check Your Shampoo's pH:To find out the pH level of your shampoo, you'll need pH test strips. Here's how to use them:
