Which product is typically used to enhance the shine of hair after a haircut?

1. Hair mousse

2. Hair gel

3. Hair oil

4. Hair spray

The correct answer is: Hair oil

Hair oil is a product commonly used to enhance the shine of hair following a haircut. It works by providing moisture and creating a smooth surface on the hair strands, which reflects light and gives the appearance of glossy, healthy hair. Hair oils can also nourish the scalp and hair, improving overall hair health and making it easier to manage. In contrast, hair mousse is typically used to add volume and body rather than shine, while hair gel is primarily designed for holding hairstyles in place. Hair spray, on the other hand, is mainly used to set hairstyles and can provide a specific finish but does not typically enhance shine in the way that hair oil does.
