What determines the hair's ability to absorb moisture?

  1. Density

  2. Elasticity

  3. Level of porosity

  4. Color

The correct answer is: Level of porosity

Hair's ability to absorb moisture is determined by its level of porosity. Density (option A) affects how much hair is present on your head, but it does not play a role in moisture absorption. Elasticity (option B) refers to hair's ability to stretch and return to its original shape, but it does not determine moisture absorption. Color (option D) has no effect on hair's ability to absorb moisture. Therefore, the correct answer is C because the level of porosity is what determines how easily and deeply hair can take in moisture.
