What does the texture of hair refer to?

Hair's ability to stretch
Hair's diameter
How well hair absorbs moisture
Hair's curl pattern

The correct answer is: Hair's diameter

The texture of hair refers to the thickness or diameter of individual hair strands. Option A may seem relevant since hair's ability to stretch could possibly affect its texture, but it is not the defining characteristic. Option C may also seem somewhat relevant, but hair's absorption of moisture does not necessarily determine its texture. Option D may also seem related since hair's curl pattern can impact how hair appears, but again it is not the defining characteristic of texture. Ultimately, B is the correct answer because hair texture is most commonly classified as fine, medium, or coarse based on the diameter of the hair strand.
