Which factor determines the texture of hair?

  1. Color

  2. Length

  3. Density

  4. Diameter

The correct answer is: Color

The texture of hair is determined by the diameter of the hair strands, not by color, length, or density. Each of these options can affect the appearance of hair, but they do not determine the texture. Color may affect the perceived texture, such as light reflecting differently off of blonde hair compared to black hair, but it does not directly determine the texture. Similarly, while length and density can impact the overall look and feel of hair, they do not determine the texture on their own. Only the diameter of the hair strands can determine the texture of hair, as it affects the weight and thickness of each individual strand.
