What does deposit mean in hair coloring?

Lifting color
Equalizing porosity
Breaking up melanin
Depositing color without lifting

The correct answer is: Depositing color without lifting

Deposit in hair coloring refers to the process of adding color pigment to the hair without lifting or lightening the natural color. This option is correct because it specifically mentions "depositing color". Option A is incorrect because lifting color means removing or lightening the natural color of the hair. Option B is incorrect because equalizing porosity is a step that helps achieve even color results, but does not specifically refer to depositing color. Option C is incorrect because although melanin is the pigment responsible for hair color, depositing color does not involve breaking it up. Option D is the best choice because it accurately describes the concept of depositing color without lifting.
