The main purpose of a shampoo is to:

  1. Condition the hair

  2. Dye the hair

  3. Cleanse the hair and scalp

  4. Style the hair

The correct answer is: Cleanse the hair and scalp

A shampoo is primarily used to cleanse the hair and scalp of dirt, oil, and product buildup. While some shampoos may also have conditioning properties, their main purpose is to remove impurities from the hair and scalp. Shampoos do not have any effect on hair dye or styling, making options A, B, and D incorrect.
