What can overuse of hair styling products lead to?

  1. Stronger hair growth

  2. Build-up and dullness of hair

  3. Enhanced shine and texture

  4. Immediate hair repair

The correct answer is: Build-up and dullness of hair

Overuse of hair styling products can lead to build-up and dullness of hair. When products such as gels, pomades, mousse, and sprays are applied frequently and not adequately washed out, they can accumulate on the hair and scalp. This build-up can result in hair that appears lifeless and lacks shine, as the accumulated products can weigh the hair down and prevent it from reflecting light properly. Dull hair often feels heavy, sticky, or greasy, which diminishes its overall health appearance. Regular cleansing routines and appropriate product use can help prevent this issue, promoting healthier and more vibrant hair.
