To restore moisture and elasticity to the hair while adding volume, use this type of shampoo.

• A. Medicated shampoos
• B. Dry shampoos
• C. Conditioning shampoos
• D. Clarifying shampoos

Answer: (C)

Moisture and elasticity come from replenishing and smoothing the hair with conditioning ingredients. A conditioning shampoo is designed to cleanse while delivering moisture and slip to the hair, thanks to conditioning agents like lightweight oils, silicones, and proteins. This helps soften and relax the cuticle, improving elasticity so hair resists breakage and stretches more easily. At the same time, it provides enough slip and light weight to lift the roots and add volume without weighing hair down.

Medicated shampoos target scalp conditions and aren’t focused on moisture balance. Dry shampoos primarily absorb oil and refresh between washes, not moisturize. Clarifying shampoos remove buildup but can strip moisture if used too often. So the conditioning shampoo best meets the goal of restoring moisture and elasticity while adding volume.
