If you’re wondering what pH is and why is it important
for your hair, we have all the answers!
pH is used in everyday life as well as in hairdressing. It plays an
important role in the strength of your hair but is also integral
in hair color technology. Here’s the science bit.
pH stands for potential of hydrogen and what that means
is: it expresses the relative amount of free hydrogen ions
in a solution. If there’s more hydrogen ions in a solution it is
acidic, while more hydroxyl ions make an alkaline solution.
Let’s look at the basics. The pH shows how acidic
or alkaline a substance is.The pH scale runs from 0 to 14,
with 0-6 being the acidic, 7 being neutral
and 8-14 being alkaline.

The balanced pH technology lies at the core of SHINEFINITY.
It operates in a controlled pH range. It starts slightly alkaline, at about
pH 7-8.3, to facilitate proper color formation of the oxidative dyes.
Upon touch with the hair the pH slowly starts dropping, turning neutral/
acidic throughout the processing to preserve the hair’s integrity, never
dropping below a pH of 6.5.
By using oxidative dyes in balanced pH environment SHINEFINITY can
oer a long-lasting color glaze result with zero lift and zero damage.
The color result is also unique and dierent than that of an alkaline
demi-permanent such Color Touch. It gives a translucent veil of color,
shine and silky hair feel.
