What do depilatories primarily do?

Dissolve hair at the skin line
Clip hair
Style hair
Clean hair

The correct answer is: Dissolve hair at the skin line

Depilatories are chemical products designed primarily to dissolve hair at the skin line, allowing for easy removal. They typically contain active ingredients that break down the protein structure of the hair, making it simple to wipe away or rinse off. This method of hair removal is particularly effective for areas where shaving might cause cuts or irritation, as it provides a smoother result without the risk of nicking the skin. The other options highlight different hair-related tasks that depilatories do not perform. Clipping hair refers to cutting it with scissors or clippers, which is a different process than dissolving hair. Styling hair involves using tools or products to shape and arrange hair, whereas cleaning hair generally entails washing it with shampoo and rinsing away dirt and product buildup. Each of these activities serves distinct purposes, separate from the specific function of depilatories.
