Do most shampoos damage hair? Spotting bad studies She provides a great critical perspective on the nuances of this study and whether a higher pH is as detrimental as often cited in hair care literature. At Qoves, we value scientific discourse and encourage exploring differing viewpoints. [Source 4] Sebetić, K., Sjerobabski Masnec, I., Cavka, V., Biljan, D., & Krolo, I. (2008). UV damage of the hair.
