A highly alkaline permanent wave would be given on what hair type?

  1. Fine hair

  2. Damaged hair

  3. Resistant, coarse hair

  4. Normal hair

The correct answer is: Resistant, coarse hair

A highly alkaline permanent wave would be given on resistant, coarse hair because this type of hair can withstand the strong chemicals used in the permanent wave process. Fine hair is too delicate and can easily become damaged, while damaged hair is already weakened and cannot handle the strong chemicals. Normal hair may not have the necessary strength to hold the curl caused by a highly alkaline permanent wave.
