What is the recommended pH balance for normal hair?

2.5-3.5 with an average of 3.0
3.5-4.5 with an average of 4.0
4.5-5.5 with an average of 5.0
5.5-6.5 with an average of 6.0

The correct answer is: 2.5-3.5 with an average of 3.0

The recommended pH balance for normal hair is between 2.5-3.5 with an average of 3.0. This pH range is slightly acidic, which helps to keep the hair cuticle closed and healthy. Lower pH levels help to flatten and seal the cuticle, resulting in smoother, shinier hair. Options B, C, and D provide pH ranges that are higher than the recommended range for normal hair, making them incorrect choices.
