Perms can be used to add __________ throughout the hair.

• A. Textural interest
• B. Color depth
• C. Moisture
• D. Volume

Answer: (A)

Perming changes the hair’s texture by rearranging the disulfide bonds to form new curl patterns, which adds texture and movement throughout the strand. This creates visual interest and dimensionality as different sections hold curls or waves along the length. Color depth isn’t altered by a perm, since it involves pigment, not chemical restructuring of the hair. Moisture isn’t increased by a perm and can even be drying without proper conditioning. While the curl can influence how full the hair appears, the primary outcome described here is the added texture, or textural interest, across the hair.
