1. The degree to which hair absorbs the waving solution is related to...

Explanation

The degree to which hair absorbs the waving solution is related to hair porosity. Hair porosity refers to the hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. When hair is porous, it has open cuticles that allow substances like the waving solution to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft. This results in a stronger and longer-lasting wave or curl. On the other hand, if the hair has low porosity, the cuticles are tightly closed, making it difficult for the waving solution to penetrate. Therefore, hair porosity plays a crucial role in determining the effectiveness of the waving solution.
