The Science

pH Balanced Formula's

Healthy hair sits at a slightly acidic pH of 4.5–5.5, which keeps the cuticle flat, smooth and sealed. Most shampoos are alkaline, they lift the cuticle to clean, then leave it open, creating dry & thirsty hair. qaba is formulated to your hair’s natural pH, so it cleanses and treats without ever throwing your hair out of balance.

Acidic · pH 3 Alkaline · pH 10
Your hair's happy place — pH 4.5–5.5
01

Balanced, not stripped

Cleans at your hair's natural pH, so the cuticle stays flat & sealed instead of left open and creating dry, unmanageable hair.

02

Sealed & smooth

A flat cuticle reflects light and holds moisture, that's the shine and softness you can feel from qaba.

03

Truly sulphate-free

No harsh detergents, no hidden nasties. Just the ingredients that nourish your hair and scalp.

As I have very sensitive skin and can't use any product, qaba is the only product that I don't have irritation from after use so I do recommend for everyone especially ppl with sensitive skin. Love my qaba.
