What type of shampoo is used on oily hair?

  1. Clarifying shampoo

  2. Balancing shampoo

  3. Moisturizing shampoo

  4. Volumizing shampoo

The correct answer is: Balancing shampoo

A balancing shampoo is specifically designed for oily hair. Clarifying shampoos may be too harsh and strip too much oil, while moisturizing shampoos may add too much moisture to already oily hair. Volumizing shampoos are meant to add body and fullness to hair, not control oil.
