Frizzy permed hair that cannot be combed into a suitable wave pattern has been:

  1. Under processed

  2. Over processed

  3. Properly processed

  4. Partially processed

The correct answer is: Over processed

Frizzy permed hair that cannot be combed into a suitable wave pattern indicates that the hair has been over-processed. This means that the chemicals used in the perm solution were left on the hair for too long, causing damage and resulting in an undesirable outcome. Option A, "under-processed," would not explain the frizziness and lack of wave pattern. Option C, "properly processed," would not cause frizzy hair. Option D, "partially processed," may result in uneven curls but would not result in frizziness.
