If a temporary color rinse is applied to normal hair, it will?

Penetrate the cortex
Coat the cuticle layer
Permanently change hair color
Damage the hair

The correct answer is: Coat the cuticle layer

When a temporary color rinse is applied to normal hair, it does not penetrate the cortex, which is the inner layer of the hair shaft that contains the pigment. Instead, it only coats the cuticle layer, which is the outer protective layer of the hair. This means that the color will wash out after a few shampoos and will not permanently change the hair color. Additionally, a temporary color rinse does not damage the hair as it does not involve any harsh chemicals or processes.
