Relationship between the elemental content and pH of human hair

Relationship between the elemental content and pH of human hair

In this study, significant correlations were discovered between the following three parameters: (i) pH values of human hair, (ii) K, Ca, Mg, Zn contents of human hair and (iii) sex. We also discovered that most trace elements are not significantly correlated with hair pH.
