An alkalizer can do everything except:

  1. Improve color absorption

  2. Make a physical change

  3. Open the cuticle

  4. Soften the hair strands

The correct answer is: Make a physical change

An alkalizer is a type of hair product used to achieve a more alkaline pH level in the hair. This alkaline pH can help to create smoother and more manageable hair, as well as enhance the effects of hair color. However, it is not capable of physically changing the structure or texture of the hair, making option B incorrect. The other options, A, C, and D, all relate to possible benefits or effects of using an alkalizer on the hair.
