The best shampoo for freshly permed hair is:

  1. Clarifying Shampoo

  2. Moisturizing Shampoo

  3. Acid-Balanced Shampoo

  4. Volumizing Shampoo

The correct answer is: Acid-Balanced Shampoo

Acid-Balanced Shampoo is the best choice for freshly permed hair because it helps to balance the pH level of the hair, which can be altered during the perming process. This helps to keep the curls intact and prevents damage to the hair. The other options may be too harsh or not ideal for permed hair. Clarifying Shampoo may strip the hair of natural oils and moisture, while Moisturizing Shampoo may weigh down the curls. Volumizing Shampoo may also be too harsh and may not provide the necessary nourishment for permed hair. It is important to choose a shampoo specifically designed for permed hair to maintain the health and longevity of the curls.
