What makes fine hair texture more prone to damage?

Largest diameter and greatest amount of melanin
Balance of melanin with no typical problems
Smallest diameter and least amount of melanin
Moderate diameter with moderate amount of melanin

The correct answer is: Smallest diameter and least amount of melanin

Fine hair texture is more prone to damage due to its small diameter and lower amount of melanin. Hair diameter and melanin levels play a significant role in hair strength and resilience. A larger hair diameter and higher melanin content are typically associated with stronger and more durable hair, making fine hair texture weaker and more susceptible to damage. Additionally, other factors such as hair care routines and environmental stressors can contribute to hair damage. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the physical attributes that make fine hair texture more prone to damage, making them incorrect choices.
