You don’t need to be a mathematician to use pH Plex; we’ve crunched all the numbers for you already. But for those who don’t mind nerding out on math and science, we’ve got a few key digits that sum up the innovative technology behind the pH Plex brand. Just think of us as the brains behind your beauty.
pH Plex is the first plex product to offer professional-grade formulas to the consumer market for use during the coloring and bleaching process at home. When we were in the development stages of pH Plex, we realized that this did not exist. This was a stroke of genius on our part, if we do say so ourselves. And this is one of the things that distinguish us from our competitors. More on that later.
We discovered that beauty DIY-ers like yourselves did not have the opportunity to take advantage of products that would really protect your hair when you needed it the most. So we set the wheels in motion to create something that would put the power of protection and beautiful, healthy hair in your hands, right where it belongs.
pH Plex is easy as 1 – 2 – 3. Seriously, we’re not kidding. We’ve taken all the guesswork and math equations out of using our products. Our 3 step system is designed to be completely foolproof with our pre-measured sachets. You can’t overdo or underdo since we’ve calculated the exact amounts of our formulas for processing and in-between treatments. Follow the instructions, and you’ll get it right 100% of the time. You’re welcome.
Hair is made of proteins like keratin and amino acids. The max amount of amino acids in the hair structure is 21. This is important because the amino acids break down when hair is damaged from bleaching, too much sun, or over-styling. When this happens, you get dry, frizzy, and limp hair instead of the shiny, bouncy locks we want.
pH Plex is unique in that our formulas bond up to the 21 amino acids in the hair. No other plex product can make that claim; most only bond to 1. pH Plex repairs and restores these cheeky compounds so that you can not only maintain healthy hair but actually improve it with our products. The numbers speak for themselves.
pH Plex was developed to match the exact pH value of your hair color and bleach, pH level 9. Sounds great, right? But if you’re not down with chemistry terminology, and we’re not judging or grading you on this, then we’ll explain it, so it makes perfect sense.
Starting with the basics, “pH” is a measurement of acidity or basicity. All liquids are either more acidic or basic (alkaline). Let’s take water, for example. Water is entirely neutral and falls right in the middle of the pH scale at 7. For reference, the pH scale is 0-14.
Hair color and bleach live on the basic side at 9. Our formulas are specifically created to reflect the same pH 9 level. This allows you to use our Step 1 without worrying about adjusting or adding anything to your color or bleach formula, and it won’t alter your desired color. Just follow the instructions, and voila!
Your scalp also has a natural pH level. It’s at 5. When you chemically alter your hair, the pH
level will naturally change and be out of whack. To have the best hair health, it’s essential to keep it balanced. Our Step 2 and Step 3 cremes will help you achieve that balance for beautiful, smooth hair. Our active ingredient, malic acid, is the critical component in the repair process. It helps get your hair aligned with its natural pH 5 state.
pH Plex is so unique that we patented it 54 times. These patents represent our team’s innovation and expertise in hair care products for groundbreaking results.
Take 10. 10 minutes that is. In just 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 minutes a week, you can restore your hair’s natural glow, shine, and health with our Step 3 creme. That’s really all it takes. Step 3 is safe for every type of hair. We consider it your hair hero.
