Does anyone know how you can measure the pH of shampoos at home? Do you measure it on the undiluted shampoo or diluted, and if so by how much? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,You used to be able to get pH measuring strips from the local drug store and then you could dip them into the undiluted shampoo. I think the strips were also used to test for other medical conditions. Go to a Walgreens or Glasers or similar and ask the pharmacist what type of testing sticks you need to test pH levels. That should fix you right up.Best wishes,Karen> Does anyone know how you can measure the pH of> shampoos at home? Do you measure it on the undiluted> shampoo or diluted, and if so by how much?
