What can a roller set be used to achieve?

  1. The same effects as stand up pin curls

  2. A permanent hair color change

  3. Increased hair density

  4. Decreased hair porosity

The correct answer is: The same effects as stand up pin curls

A roller set is a common hairstyling technique used to create curl and volume. It involves wrapping sections of damp hair around rollers and allowing them to air dry or using a diffuser attachment on a blow dryer. This technique is used to create various types of curls, such as loose waves or tight ringlets. It is not used for permanent color changes or hair density. Additionally, it does not affect hair porosity, which is the ability of hair to absorb and retain moisture. It is simply a styling method for creating curls and volume, specifically achieving similar results to stand up pin curls.
