What does terminal hair refer to?

  1. Baby fine hair

  2. Very dark visible hair

  3. Invisible braid technique

  4. Condition of the hair

The correct answer is: Very dark visible hair

Terminal hair is a type of hair that is dark and visible, which is why option B is the correct answer. This type of hair is typically thicker and coarser than other types of hair, such as vellus hair (commonly known as "baby fine hair"). Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately define terminal hair. Vellus hair is not the same as terminal hair, invisible braid technique is a hair styling technique and not a hair type, and hair condition refers to the health, texture, and appearance of hair, not a specific type of hair.
