What are depilatories used for?

To dye hair
To curl hair
To remove superfluous hair
To style hair

The correct answer is: To remove superfluous hair

Depilatories are specifically formulated products used to remove unwanted hair from the skin's surface. They work through a chemical process that dissolves the protein structure of the hair, allowing it to be easily wiped or washed away. This makes them effective for areas of the body where hair removal is desired, such as legs, underarms, and the bikini area. In the context of the other options, dyeing hair involves products with color agents, while curling hair requires curling agents or tools to change the hair structure temporarily. Styling hair typically refers to products that help shape or hold the hair in a particular style. These uses do not pertain to the function of depilatories, highlighting the specificity of these products for hair removal.
