What is the process of rearranging the basic structure of over curly hair to straight?

  1. Decayed matter

  2. Skin

  3. Chemical hair relaxer or perm

  4. In water

The correct answer is: Chemical hair relaxer or perm

A chemical hair relaxer or perm is a process that changes the structure of curly hair to straight. Decayed matter, skin, and water do not have the ability to permanently alter the structure of hair. Decayed matter is typically used for composting or fertilizer, skin refers to the outer layer of the body, and water is a substance that is commonly used in various processes but is not specifically used for changing hair structure. Chemical hair relaxers or perms use specific chemicals and techniques to break down the bonds in curly hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a straighter form.
