Manipulating an oily scalp is beneficial because it releases?

Oil
Dandruff
Sebum
Sweat

The correct answer is: Sebum

Manipulating an oily scalp is beneficial because it helps to release sebum, which is the natural oil produced by the body to moisturize and protect the scalp and hair. Option A, oil, is incorrect because it is the same as sebum and does not represent any additional benefit. Option B, dandruff, is incorrect because it is actually a common scalp condition that is caused by excessive dryness and flaking, and manipulating the scalp can worsen the symptoms. Option D, sweat, is also incorrect because it is produced by sweat glands and has different purposes than sebum, such as regulating body temperature. Overall, manipulating an oily scalp can help regulate the production and distribution of sebum, creating a healthier balance for the scalp and hair.
