pH Levels in Anti-Dandruff Shampoos: Why Acidity Matters
Most anti-dandruff shampoos have a pH of 4.5–6.5 (slightly acidic). This maintains the scalp's natural acid mantle and inhibits Malassezia—the fungus that feeds on scalp oils and causes dandruff.
By contrast, some lice-treatment shampoos have pH up to 9.0 (alkaline).
