The curvature wrap is characterized by what type of parting and panels?

• A. Panels that radiate around the crown only
• B. Parting and panels that radiate throughout curved areas of the head
• C. Uniform straight panels throughout
• D. Random panel arrangement

Answer: (B)

Curvature wrap is designed to follow the natural contours of the head, so the partings and panels are laid out to radiate along the curved areas. This radiating pattern allows each section to wrap smoothly around the curves, giving even contact with the rods or tools and promoting a uniform curl or wave from scalp to ends. When the panels follow the curves, tension is distributed evenly and gaps are minimized, which helps achieve a consistent processing result and a natural-looking finish on curved surfaces. In contrast, straight, uniform panels don’t align with the head’s shape and can leave uneven areas, while random or Crown-only radiating patterns don’t reliably address all curved regions.
