Oh I definitely know that pH struggle :/ I have damaged hair and while I am washing it may feel drying, but when my hair dries it's a complete 180. I believe the pH for Shikakai and Reetha are around 4-5, which is perfect for the hair cuticle. My bf suffers from acne flare ups on his scalp, and since I have started using this on his head, it has helped clear some of that up (along with a touch of castor oil!).

It may be a bit expensive upfront, but I am currently experimenting on using just solely Shikakai and seeing where that goes :)
​
My current routine is:
I will note that this recipe makes for more than enough for me and my bf. since we shower together, I help rinse his hair and then do mine with plenty to spare. He has short hair and I have hair a little past my collar bone, so if you have shorter hair, you might be able to get away with much less powder than I use. And I think you will be able to make this and save it for later in the week, but I don't know what the self-life of this would be, so I usually make it the night or afternoon of.
​
I hope this works out, im sorry for the long post! I know how frustrating it can be when you're experimenting with natural hair care!
