What does epilation do to the hair?

Discolors it
Makes it thinner
Removes it permanently
Removes it from the root

The correct answer is: Discolors it

Epilation does not discolor hair. Discoloration can occur due to chemical treatments or excessive sun exposure, but it is not a direct effect of epilation. Option B is incorrect because epilation does not make hair thinner. In fact, repeated epilation can sometimes lead to thicker regrowth as the hair follicle becomes stronger. Option C is incorrect because while some hair removal methods claim to permanently remove hair, it is not always the case. Epilation removes hair from the root, but this does not guarantee permanent removal as hair can still grow back from the follicle. Option D is incorrect because epilation does not remove hair from the root. This is a common misconception as epilation methods like waxing or tweezing do pull the hair out from the root, but this is not the sole purpose of epilation.
