Instant conditioners have a lower pH than what?

Hair
Skin
Nails
Water

The correct answer is: Hair

Instant conditioners typically have a low pH level which ranges from 2 to 4. This is lower than the pH of water (7), skin (around 5.5), and nails (around 7.5). The acidic pH of instant conditioners helps to close the cuticle of the hair, making it smoother and shinier. Using an instant conditioner with a higher pH level can lead to a rough, dull, and frizzy appearance. Therefore, the answer "A Hair" is the only option that accurately reflects the lower pH level of instant conditioners.
