What is the next step that occurs after the scalp has been thoroughly shampooed?

Apply conditioner
Dry the hair
Style the hair
Massage the scalp

The correct answer is: Apply conditioner

After the scalp has been thoroughly shampooed, the next logical step is to apply conditioner. Shampooing cleanses the hair and scalp by removing oils, dirt, and product buildup, making it essential to follow it with conditioning. Conditioner serves to replenish moisture, detangle hair, and minimize damage caused by the cleansing process. This step helps restore the hair's health and ensures it is more manageable and less prone to breakage. While drying the hair, styling the hair, and massaging the scalp can be important steps in a hair care routine, they typically follow the application of conditioner. Drying and styling are focused on the desired look, while massage could be part of a prior step or a separate treatment to promote relaxation or stimulate the scalp but not directly after shampooing.
