Which activity is part of routine hair care?

• A. Shaving hair daily
• B. Brushing and combing hair daily
• C. Avoiding brushing to protect hair
• D. Washing hands instead of hair care

Answer: (B)

Routine hair care centers on keeping the scalp clean and the hair detangled, comfortable, and easy to manage. Brushing and combing daily accomplishes several of these goals: it helps remove loose dirt and dead skin cells, distributes the scalp’s natural oils along the hair shaft to keep hair moisturized, and detangles strands to prevent breakage. Regular brushing also gives a chance to notice scalp issues like flaking or irritation early, which is part of maintaining overall hygiene and skin health. Gentle brushing, especially from ends toward the roots and avoiding brushing when hair is very wet, helps protect the hair from damage. The other options depict activities that aren’t routine hair care—shaving removes hair, avoiding brushing can lead to tangles and buildup, and washing hands instead of hair care ignores actual hair hygiene needs. Therefore, daily brushing and combing is the routine hair care activity.
