    Fine hair takes color faster and can look darker because the melanin granules are grouped:

    • More loosely

    • More tightly

    • More scattered

    • Less tightly

    Correct Answer
    A. More tightly
    Explanation
    Fine hair takes color faster and can look darker because the melanin granules are grouped more tightly.

    Explanation
    Volume refers to the amount of space that a hairstyle occupies. It is a measure of how full and three-dimensional the hairstyle appears. The term "volume" is commonly used in the context of hair to describe the thickness, fullness, and overall size of the hairstyle. A hairstyle with high volume will appear larger and more voluminous, while a hairstyle with low volume will appear flatter and less full. Therefore, volume is an appropriate term to describe the form or mass of a hairstyle.
