which statement best describes what may have happened to cause a clients hair to grow in a whorl pattern?
the strands of hair in the whorl are oily due to overactive sebaceous glands.
the hair in the whorl has a raised cuticle, whereas the surrounding hair does not.
the strands of hair in the whorl are leaving the follicles at an angle different from the surrounding hairs.
the strands of hair in the whorl are less elastic than the surrounding hair as a result of damage from a thermal styling tool.

Explanation:

Question 16

A whorl pattern in hair occurs when the strands of hair in the whorl are leaving the follicles at an angle different from the surrounding hairs. Option a (oily due to sebaceous glands) affects hair texture but not growth pattern. Option b (raised cuticle) is about hair surface not growth angle. Option d (less elastic due to thermal damage) is about hair condition not growth pattern.

A strand of human hair has two main parts: the root (which is inside the follicle) and the shaft (the visible part outside the follicle). Option a (follicle and bulb) are parts of the hair - producing structure, not the hair strand. Option b (cuticle and cortex) are layers within the hair shaft. Option c (dermal papilla and arrector pili) are related to hair growth and movement, not parts of the hair strand.

The medulla is the hair's pith or core. Option a (fibrous protein layer) describes the cortex. Option b (outermost layer) is the cuticle. Option d (cone - shaped elevation at the base of the hair bulb) is the dermal papilla.

Answer:

C. The strands of hair in the whorl are leaving the follicles at an angle different from the surrounding hairs.
