  2. A way to dye hair

  3. The basis for patterns, lines, waves, curls and rolls

The correct answer is: The basis for patterns, lines, waves, curls and rolls

Pin curls are a versatile hairstyling method, but they primarily serve as the basis for creating different patterns, lines, waves, curls, and rolls in hair. Option A is incorrect because pin curls are not used to dry hair. Option B is incorrect because pin curls are not used as a coloring method. Option D is incorrect because pin curls do not permanently straighten hair. They are primarily used to add texture and shape to hairstyles.
