What is a benefit of yak hair in hairpieces?

1. Adds natural color

2. Increases volume

3. Manufactures shine

4. Removes shine

The correct answer is: Manufactures shine

Yak hair has a coarser texture compared to other types of hair, which allows it to retain more moisture and give a natural shine to hairpieces. This makes option C, "Manufactures shine," the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because yak hair can be dyed to match various hair colors, so it doesn't necessarily provide natural color. Option B is incorrect because yak hair is typically thinner and less dense than other hair types, so it would not increase volume. Option D is incorrect because yak hair's natural shine is a benefit, so removing it would not be desirable.
