Which of the following is a factor in determining hair texture?

• A. Hair length
• B. Diet
• C. Eye color
• D. Temperature

Answer: (B)

Hair texture is about how the hair shaft feels and its diameter. Diet matters because the body’s nutrients support keratin formation and moisture in the hair, helping maintain the hair’s natural texture. Good nutrition can keep hair smooth and properly textured, while poor nutrition can make hair dry, brittle, or feel coarser. Hair length, eye color, and temperature don’t determine texture: length doesn’t change strand diameter or curl, eye color isn’t related to hair structure, and temperature mainly affects how hair behaves with moisture rather than its inherent texture.
