What pH value does Acid Wave typically fall under?

  1. 5.0-5.6

  2. 6.5-7.0

  3. 7.8-8.2

  4. 9.0-9.6

The correct answer is: 7.8-8.2

Acid Wave typically falls under a pH value of 7.8-8.2. This is because Acid Wave is a type of acid perm, and acids typically have a pH value above 7. The other options, 5.0-5.6 and 6.5-7.0, are more acidic and thus not representative of Acid Wave. Additionally, options D, 9.0-9.6, is too alkaline for an acid perm.
