For hair that feels dry or damaged, a temporary remedy is

• A. Conditioner
• B. Dry shampoo
• C. Clarifying shampoo
• D. Medicated shampoo

Answer: (A)

When hair feels dry or damaged, the quickest temporary fix is to restore moisture and smooth the surface of the strand. Conditioner does just that by delivering moisture and conditioning agents that coat the hair shaft, help seal the cuticle, and reduce friction. This makes the hair feel softer, more manageable, and less tangled, providing a noticeable improvement until the next wash.

Dry shampoo, while good for refreshing and absorbing oil at the roots, doesn’t hydrate and can leave residue; it won’t address dryness. Clarifying shampoo cleans buildup but can strip natural oils, which can make dry hair feel worse if used too often. Medicated shampoo targets scalp conditions and active ingredients, which might be drying and isn’t intended to moisturize the hair for a quick fix.
