Proverbs 3:5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
I quote that not in a judgmental way, but as encouragement. God is gently telling us that we don't, in fact can't, know it all. But happily He does. He has the answers and will provide. He wants us not to worry so much, but to trust. Tall order, but the older I get the more I value it's truth. Think of all the tough times God has led us through and the PH of our shampoo pales in comparison. (Written by a bald man!!)
Being paralyzed over choices in shampoo is not something for me to be disturbed about as I might have been at one time. Although I do get annoyed with grocery stores that constantly change location of items that I once found easily and then when I ask for help the store employees have no clue and I waste their and my time searching. I like the comment about finding correct information on both sides of an issue as I fear far too many today are unable to do that.
Great read. Yes, pH does matter with shampoo. Pella's water is alkaline which is not good for the hair cuticle. But also having tested shampoos, most are slightly acidic which you want. You also need to consider the buffer capacity, which is pretty good in most shampoos, even cheap ones. Avoid baby and kid shampoos though. The pH is too high in order to keep the gentle on the eyes.
You echo so many of my sentiments. Thanks!
I am not surprised. We share DNA, you know. I appreciate your telling me.

Thank you for your gentle reminder. Wise words. Exactly what I'd expect from a bald man.

Thanks. Great applied chemistry.
