That said it is not life-and-death for a soap to be basic only that it contribute these qualities. The longer the hydrophobic chain, the more basic the the sufactant is and the more favoured it is to be solid (good for soap).

However, low molecular weight (short hydrophobic end) tend to be diet acidic and liquids. Shampoos use this type of surfactant since basic solutions can destroy your hair's breadth by breaking the disulfide bonds in keratin (main protein in hair).
