Which hair texture is the strongest and has the largest diameter?

  1. Coarse

  2. Fine

  3. Medium

  4. Thin

The correct answer is: Coarse

The hair texture that is considered the strongest and has the largest diameter is coarse hair. This type of hair tends to have a thicker strand, making it less prone to breakage and more durable. The other options, such as fine, medium, and thin hair, have smaller diameter strands and are not as strong as coarse hair. Fine hair, in particular, has a smaller diameter and is more fragile, making it more susceptible to breakage. Medium hair falls between fine and coarse in terms of diameter, and thin hair has the smallest diameter and is the most fragile of the options listed. Overall, coarse hair is the strongest and most resilient of the hair textures listed.
