Which of the following is NOT a purpose of scalp treatments?

The purpose of scalp treatments primarily focuses on maintaining and improving the overall health of the scalp. They are designed to address issues such as dryness, flakiness, and excess oil, as well as to enhance the scalp's condition in preparation for other hair services.

Improving scalp health, removing dirt and excess oil, and preparing the scalp for further services directly relate to the effectiveness and outcomes of hair treatments. These actions contribute to creating a healthy environment for hair growth and ensure that any subsequent hair services, like coloring or styling, are performed on a clean and well-maintained scalp.

Preventing hair color fading, while an important aspect of hair care, is not a direct goal of scalp treatments. Fading is generally influenced by the hair's exposure to environmental factors, the quality of hair products used, and the hair's condition rather than scalp treatment procedures themselves. Therefore, while maintaining a healthy scalp can indirectly support better color retention, it does not fall under the primary purposes of scalp treatments.
