What is the term used to describe the direction in which hair grows from the scalp?

1. Growth pattern

2. Hair direction

3. Hair texture

4. Natural fall

The correct answer is: Growth pattern

A) Growth pattern is the term used to describe the direction in which hair grows from the scalp. This refers to the specific pattern or direction that hair follows in growth, including any swirls or cowlicks that may be present. B) Hair direction is not the correct term for this concept, as it does not encompass the specific patterns and characteristics of hair growth. C) Hair texture refers to the overall appearance and feel of hair, including its thickness, coarseness, and level of curl or straightness. D) Natural fall refers to the way hair naturally falls or hangs when not styled or manipulated. While this may be related to the growth pattern, it is not the correct term for describing it.
