title: Relationship between the elemental content and pH of human hair.
abstract: In this study, significant correlations were discovered between the following three parameters: (i) pH values of human hair, (ii) K, Ca, Mg, Zn contents of human hair and (iii) sex. We also discovered that most trace elements are not significantly correlated with hair pH.
