Oily hair and scalp can be treated by properly washing with what type of shampoo?

  1. Moisturizing shampoo

  2. Normalizing shampoo

  3. Volumizing shampoo

  4. Clarifying shampoo

The correct answer is: Normalizing shampoo

Oily hair and scalp can be treated by using a normalizing shampoo. This type of shampoo is specifically designed to remove excess oil and balance the scalp's natural oil production. Moisturizing shampoo would add more oil to the scalp, making the problem worse. Volumizing shampoo focuses on adding volume rather than controlling oil. Clarifying shampoo is too strong for regular use and would strip the scalp of its natural oils, causing it to produce even more oil. Normalizing shampoo is the best option for ensuring a clean and balanced scalp.
