What do perm papers do?

  1. Strengthen hair

  2. Absorbent papers that control ends of hair

  3. Change hair color

  4. Repair damaged hair

The correct answer is: Absorbent papers that control ends of hair

Perm papers are designed to absorb excess chemicals, usually from perm solution, in order to help control the ends of the hair during the perm process. A is incorrect because while a perm can make the hair appear stronger, it does not actually strengthen the hair itself. C is incorrect because perm papers do not change hair color. D is incorrect because while a perm can help improve the overall appearance of damaged hair, it is not a specific purpose of perm papers.
