Which conditioner coats the hair shaft and restores moisture & oils?

• A. Instant Conditioner: coats the hair shaft and restores moisture & oils.
• B. Normalizing: Vegetable protein & have acidic PH.
• C. Body Building: For fine, limp hair. Deposits Protein into hair shaft.
• D. Moisturizing: for dry brittle hair.

Answer: (A)

Coating the hair shaft with a quick-acting layer that restores moisture and oils is what an instant conditioner is designed to do. It lays down a lightweight film around the cuticle, smoothing the surface and sealing in lightweight oils and moisture for immediate manageability and shine after a wash.

The other options serve different purposes. A product described as normalizing focuses on balancing pH and often includes ingredients like vegetable protein to help with texture, not primarily on forming a surface coat. A body-building conditioner emphasizes depositing protein into the hair shaft to strengthen and add bulk, rather than coating with oils. A moisturizing conditioner targets dry, brittle hair but its emphasis is on penetrating or delivering moisture over time, not necessarily on creating an immediate protective surface coat.
