Do you know what happens if you use soap on your hair?

1. Hair loses natural oils. Soap's strong surfactants strip away essential sebum, making hair dry. 2. Hair gets rough and tangled. Soap's high pH opens the hair cuticle.

3. Scalp problems..

Soap's alkalinity can damage the scalp's protective layer, causing itchiness and dandruff. It also leaves a residue, making hair dull, weak, and prone to breakage.

Soap vs. Shampoo: What's the difference?

Soap just cleans dirt and lacks conditioners. Shampoo cleans, protects moisture, balances pH, and softens hair. Regularly using soap can permanently damage your hair.
