What characterizes lanugo hair?

It is thick and coarse
It is short and straight
It is soft and fine
It is curly and dry

The correct answer is: It is soft and fine

Lanugo hair is characterized by being soft and fine. This type of hair is typically found on fetuses during the later stages of development and may also appear on newborns. It serves several purposes, mostly related to insulation and protecting the skin. Lanugo is very different from terminal or vellus hair, which are thicker or coarser. This distinction is important, as understanding the nature of different types of hair can aid in effective hair removal techniques and skincare practices in esthetics. The other options describe hair textures or conditions that do not align with the defining characteristics of lanugo, making them less relevant in this context.
