If the cuticle is slightly raised, it means that the hairs are more porous and can easily absorb color products. This is a characteristic of fine hair, as it is thinner and has a smaller diameter compared to coarse or damaged hair. Normal hair would have a smooth, flat cuticle and would not accept color as easily. Therefore, the other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the hair's condition and ability to absorb color products.
