1. Helps balance hair’s pH
According to the dermatologist, the saline solution has a pH of 6, and the scalp has a pH of 7. So, the saline solution softens the aggression made to the hair by very alkaline or acidic products used in progressive brushes, for example.

In addition to the high moisturizing power, it helps to untangle the wires without damaging them.
4. Improves shine
Take note of Leonardo’s valuable tip: apply the saline solution to the ends after using the conditioner, especially on blonde hair, to add shine.
5. Helps reduce frizz
When applying the saline solution to the hair, there is a control of the spiky wires, which are more aligned.

Due to its composition of 0.9% sodium chloride, in isotonic solution, saline has components similar to the fluids of our body.
