    The client's hair structure is a significant factor in the product selection used in the application of color. Hair structure refers to the natural texture and condition of the hair, such as whether it is straight, wavy, or curly, and whether it is fine or coarse. Different hair structures may require different types of hair color products and techniques to achieve the desired result. For example, someone with fine, straight hair may need a different type of color formula compared to someone with thick, curly hair. Therefore, understanding the client's hair structure is essential for selecting the appropriate color products.
