Which hair type offers the most versatility in styling?

  1. Wavy, medium hair

  2. Straight, long hair

  3. Curly, short hair

  4. Thick, coarse hair

The correct answer is: Wavy, medium hair

Wavy medium hair offers the most versatility in styling because it falls somewhere in the middle between straight and curly hair. While straight hair may be limited in terms of styling options, and curly hair may require specific products or techniques, wavy hair has the ability to be styled in a variety of ways. It can be easily straightened or curled, and holds styles well due to its slightly textured nature. Straight long hair may have limited options for adding volume or texture, and curly short hair may be more prone to frizz. Thick, coarse hair may also require more effort and products to achieve certain styles compared to wavy medium hair.
