A dry scalp may be helped by which product?

• A. Hair spray
• B. Leave-in gel
• C. Scalp conditioner
• D. Clarifying shampoo

Answer: (C)

When the scalp is dry, the goal is to restore moisture and protect the skin’s barrier. A scalp conditioner delivers hydrating ingredients that moisturize the skin, soothe irritation, and help seal in moisture, making it the most direct and effective option for dry scalp.

Hair spray and leave-in gel are mainly styling products and can leave residue or irritants on the scalp, which may not address the dryness and can even contribute to buildup. Clarifying shampoo cleans buildup and excess oils, but it can strip natural oils from the scalp, potentially worsening dryness if used too often. So the scalp conditioner best meets the need by supplying lasting moisture directly to the scalp.
