What is a common sign of product buildup on the hair?

Increased shine
Greasy appearance and lack of volume
Easy combing
Frizz and dryness

The correct answer is: Greasy appearance and lack of volume

A common sign of product buildup on the hair is a greasy appearance and lack of volume. When various hair products, such as gels, sprays, and conditioners, accumulate on the hair over time, they can weigh the hair down, leading to a less voluminous look. This buildup can also create an oily or greasy appearance, as the hair becomes coated in these products rather than reflecting light in a healthy way. Increased shine might be associated with well-maintained hair or the use of shine-enhancing products, but not product buildup. Similarly, easy combing is typically a sign of healthy, manageable hair rather than a symptom of buildup. Frizz and dryness can indicate other hair issues, such as lack of moisture or damage, but they are not direct indicators of product buildup. Therefore, experiencing a greasy appearance and lack of volume is a clear indication of product buildup on the hair.
