Answer:

A difference in acidity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soap, the substance you use to clean your body, your clothes, your floors, has an acidic pH because those surfaces are stronger. Shampoo is pH neutral, therefore making it usable on our hair, which is very sensitive. Acidic soap will damage your hair.
