Giving a conditioning treatment to damaged hair will do what?

  1. Add body and strength

  2. Increase hair porosity

  3. Strip natural oils

  4. Alter natural hair color

The correct answer is: Add body and strength

A conditioning treatment is a revitalizing and moisturizing treatment that is designed to restore damaged hair. It is typically made from a nourishing blend of ingredients that help to repair and strengthen weakened or damaged hair. Therefore, giving a conditioning treatment to damaged hair will most likely add body and strength to the hair, making it appear healthier and less damaged. Option B is incorrect because a conditioning treatment is meant to seal and protect the hair, not increase its porosity. Option C is incorrect because a conditioning treatment is meant to add moisture, not strip natural oils. Option D is incorrect because a conditioning treatment does not contain any chemicals that can alter the natural color of the hair. It is simply meant to restore and improve the overall health and appearance of damaged hair.
