Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A smooth texture and not oily or dry hair is a normal, healthy finding when shampooing a client's hair. Dry, dark, thin hair (A) may indicate a nutritional deficiency or health condition. Smooth, taut, shiny hair (B) may indicate the use of hair products or treatment but could also indicate an abnormal overproduction of oils. Tender, warm scalp (D) may indicate an infection or injury.
