What are the 2 basic requirements for a healthy scalp?

Moisture and heat
Cleanliness and stimulation
Protection and nourishment
Oil and massage

The correct answer is: Cleanliness and stimulation

A scalp needs to be clean in order to maintain a healthy pH balance and prevent product buildup, which can lead to irritation or inflammation. It also needs to be stimulated to promote blood flow, which helps deliver nutrients to the hair follicles and support hair growth. Moisture and heat are important for maintaining hair health, but they do not directly affect the scalp. Protection and nourishment are important for overall hair health, but they are not specific to the scalp. Oil and massage can be beneficial for the scalp, but they are not essential requirements for a healthy scalp. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it includes both cleanliness and stimulation, the two basic requirements for a healthy scalp.
