What process is used to chemically restructure straight hair into a different wave pattern?

  1. Hair dying

  2. Permanent waving

  3. Hair relaxing

  4. Conditioning

The correct answer is: Permanent waving

Permanent waving, also known as a perm, is the process of chemically altering the structure of straight hair to create a different wave pattern. Hair dying, conditioning, and hair relaxing do not involve altering the hair's structure and therefore are incorrect options for this question. Hair dye changes the color of the hair, conditioning helps to nourish and moisturize the hair, and hair relaxing is a process to make curly hair straighter. These processes do not involve restructuring the hair's shape. Therefore, B Permanent waving is the correct answer for this question.
