Agate said:Sadly it’s chemically impossible to bring the soap pH to the hair-friendly range that you mention. It stops being soap and becomes a mess with no surfactant power at all. MCT doesn’t change the pH. But you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it - get some pure liquid castile soap, add some MCT oil, a good helping of citric acid dissolved in water, stir and then “wash” your hair with it…Some people do wash their hair with soap at a pH of 9-10, but most struggle as it will cause a gunky build-up if used in hard water, and even in soft water, results are mainly unimpressive. Dr. Bronner’s say it themselves on their website: “Dr. Bronner’s soaps clean your hair and scalp amazingly well, but they can also leave your hair feeling tangly and matted.”If you want to get into shampoo bars, have a look over here: https://www.swiftcraftymonkey.blog/questions-and-answers-about-shampoo-bars-the-master-list/Thank you. I understand the pH for hair and scalp so I def understand why a Castile Soap is not recommended, but as I said there seems to be many woman claiming to lower the pH, showing their pH meters with levels as love as 7.5. Now what that castile soap becomes at that pH, I’m not so sure…So thank you. I think Ive concluded that a castile soap would NOT be a good replacement
Thats why I asked because I’m still learning. -

Why is it a bad idea. Just for knowledge sake. Cant say somethings bad without telling them why
And I’m no scientist so I tread lightly to say this, but their are numerous videos of women showing how to bring down the pH of castile soap, Google it. One women uses MCT in particular.Thank you
